What one man views as blue, another may see as green. Sometimes, if they're stuborn enough, they might argue the matter, if they're dumb enough, they may choose to fight over the disagreement.
When man makes interpretations of ancient texts, he views them through the prism of his own life and experiences.
Osama bin Laden is not the first charismatic leader to convince followers to commit suicide.

"...if they're dumb enough, they may choose to fight over the disagreement."
I agree 100%.
From what I have read, I do not believe that anyone,
of any major religion, will stand before G*d, say
"Arn't you glad I killed those dirty unbelievers?"
and find any approval forthcoming.
