This isn't about relegion, never has been. Even Allah would not condone the actions of these people. They are criminals. It is criminal to use God (Allah) or any diety as reason or excuse for destroying the life of another. The crimanal leaders of these factions try to envoke "their religous beliefs" as justification for these horrible acts of terror, but do not for a moment accept that. That is a part of the ploy, to try and convince you there is some noble justification...
..This is nothing more than greedy, power hungry, egotistical asswipes that take advantage of weaker, uneducated, peons to brainwash and convince they are doing the "right" thing. Just look at the Iraqi's after Saddam was driven from power. They came out in droves to curse this despot. There are no civilized people on this planet that embrace these despots. Only uneducted, starving, and desperate slaves of brainwashing through fear and hunger.
Try and understand the difference. Jews, Christians, Hindus, Muslums, all have lived for centuries side by side in peace, respecting by and large on anothers differences. It is only asswipes in history that have tried to alter that peaceful co existance, and at every juncture they have failed. In 20 years this episode in history will be just a footnote outlining poor judgement by one group against another. We react to the "Now" of these events because we have a fast food mentality. We want answers immediately. If this was 100 years ago before internet, TV, radio and mass communication, I doubt any of this would have happened. This is more about the "haves" wanting more, and the "have nots" getting pissed they are being overlooked in the economic,social scheme of things.
You will find the only releigon that matters to these people are the allmighty Dollar. That is the bottom line for about everyhing we have seen so far.
