What's the deal here?
Don't look for any sane explanation from these folks- there is none. Religious nuts are a greater threat to the world than any Stalin or Mao. The zealots go blindly and serenely to their deaths to protect their cause. They think you are not as good as them, you do not understand, you do not believe so you can not "know". And God forbid if you interfere with them be it trying to protect babies penises from the herpetic lips of a wacko rabbi or drive an car through their neighborhood on the Sabbath (unless of course you don't care about a cracked windshield or dented body from a hail of rocks. these folks are nuts. Reasoning is futile because they believe what they are told to believe whether it is wacko or not.
