January 18, 201610 yr Author It has nothing to do with their religion. I'm going to agree. It has everything to do with some of the Koran Religion thinking.

The Bible isn't the Quran And Jesus ain't Muhammed Don't read the Bible to try to compare or justify what is happening now in Middle East or their punishment.
