Unfortunately, as Voltaire said....."Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." This bunch seems quite capable of that.
I would not call my family first-class assholes, even with all that I've gone through it appears that a lot of people are very suspectible for indoctrination and in my mother's case her being fanatically religious seems understandable as it's been flung at her ever since she could vaguely understand what people were talking about.
And something else that is very worrying is that there must be millions out there who just pretend to be Muslim for their own well being. Millions of lives wasted living by ideals you do not believe in.
