It is impossible to understand how human beings can descend into such depths of depravity, become so brutalized that they believe they have a right to destroy the lives of others. And this is done in the name of religion. The very concept of belief in a merciful, almighty spiritual overseer whose purported dicta to the human race is to be tolerant of one another and worshipful of the one who advocates for peace among humankind, the impetus.
Atrocities take place with stunning regularity between sects of the same religion, a religion whose faithful encompass the width and breadth of the world, from Asia to Africa, North America to Europe, the Middle East and the Near East. With horrendous affliction of purpose, powerful bombs rip apart the lives of countless innocent human beings.
This is seen in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, Iraq and Syria, among others. Where at one time in history Protestant and Catholic Christianity was at war with itself, centuries have since passed with the emergence of humankind into the modern world. Modernity does not appear to have had a moderating, humanizing effect among those whose Islamic religion impinges on every day of their waking lives.
There does not appear to be any restraint on the part of the faithful who assemble their wrath in a global jihad against the world outside Islam, as well as the world of Islam itself. Humans seem to respond to the 'spiritually guided' challenge to march in conquest in the name of Islam, but it is their version of Islam, and all others become their victims as carnage and mass slaughter ensues.
While the greater mass of those whose lives is dedicated to the worship of Allah and the veneration of the messenger Mohammed struggle to themselves come to an understanding that it is indeed Muslims who slaughter Muslims.
