The real answer to the headline question is that anytime groups of people rally around a religious theology or political ideology to the extent that they become fanatical, that group of people are capable of terrible things. History is replete with examples such as Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Radical Islam, Jihads, Crusades etc. Today the problem is radical Islam. Tomorrow it will probably be some other whacked out extremist movement that believes, really believes, that they must conquer and convert all peoples of the world to their perfect vision. I am Christian and I see certain elements in my faith that have the “potential” to become every bit as radical as the Taliban under the right (or perhaps wrong) conditions.

I bet you believe someone who believes everything in the bible is a fanatic.
