I have not stated what I think of religions anywhere in my posts, because it is not relevant - and I&#x27;d wager you would be surprised about my answer should you ask.<p>What you do see is this being a religious attack, when it is quite clearly a political one. I&#x27;m honestly not sure anymore how someone who thinks through the mentality these people have can come to the conclusion that the logic makes sense.<p>It&#x27;s just so easy for people to just say &quot;Pah, there&#x27;s no logic, these people are irrational and crazy and they hate us&quot;. But that&#x27;s bullshit. Everybody is driven by their own set of logic and in the majority of cases, they&#x27;re easily manipulated by those that are more experienced or stand to gain more than them. This is a fact we have to face: There are horrors being done, and there are <i>reasons</i> behind the horrors being done.<p>So please, I won&#x27;t try to convince you - instead, think this through yourself:<p><pre><code>  1. Do these attacks serve a religious goal? If so, which?
  2. What are the social consequences on islam and muslims as a result of such attacks?
     Are they predictable? Are they known by the perpetrators?
  3. What happens as a result of those consequences? Who is affected?
     Who is most negatively affected?
  4. Based on your answers on 2 &amp; 3, can you tell who stands to gain the most out of it?
  5. Does your answer to 1 still make sense in the context of your answers to 2, 3 &amp; 4?

Have fun, I&#x27;m going to sleep.
