Well, they only make religion as a weapon in which they themselves do not embrace it. In my opinion, this reverses the facts and intends to intimidate believers who claim that their anarchist act is a demand.

Considering the ever-present challenge for human survival in a hostile world, it is understandable that religions would occasionally remain silent on the verdict of war or fail in their missions to promote peace and amity.

People need purpose in life, which is one of the wonderful things religion brings.
Some people though, manipulate that purpose towards something malicious like war and violence.
On top of that, most religions are kind of violent because they were invented thousands of years ago,
when morals were a lot different.

People kill because they want to, not because of religion, killers will always want to find a way to justify what they do and it just so happens that some of them choose religion to try to justify it which in turn tends to paint the people who practice that religion in a bad light. It's just pitiful because religion has absolutely nothing to do with their actions

This one God, it is believed, revealed sublime values which were then disseminated by the three largest monotheistic religions. It is therefore easy to wholeheartedly support these religions for giving voice to ethical injunctions for centuries.

People might hurt or even kill for their belief if they think and are convinced that what they are doing is right. Of course, any faith that tells and promotes hurting others should be checked as we have to learn to respect everyone.

I have been involved in both wars and revolutions. Seen both good and bad things done; BUT what drives me to a rage, is when these poor girls that were taken captive by ISIS, enslaved, raped, traded, sold, degraded, and more, are finally freed and return to their families, are then  killed or driven away by there own family members because they have dis-honored the name of the family.

 This not isolated, but common in may parts of the world.

I think god if he exists doesn't want us to annihilate each other. If he created us it means he wants us to survive.
People who look to justify their killing are worse than animals. They want to kill, they like it, but they need a way to calm their conscience. I piti them for not having some real goals in life, being unable to create anything, and unable to coexist with others.
I agree. God created us to be united as well. We are all His Daughters and Sons I highly believe as well and I don't think by killings never pleases Him just to justify which religion must be followed. I really don't see why people do that.

There are people who are totally absorbed by their beliefs that they will kill people just to justify their religion.

The ISIS terrorists will kill you if you dare to criticize their religion. They will slander all the other religions by saying that Jesus is the son of a whore and Hindus are worshiping monkeys. But if someone try to criticize the prophet or some of the verses in Quran, then the unfortunate person may be at least maimed if not killed outright. Check this:

They just use religion as an excuse to kill, but I'm sure they have ulterior motives such as monetary or political gain by using religion to kill.

It's just that people are territorial too. They think that only their religion will be saved by God, or they think that they are superior in terms of faith. Which is ridiculous, each of us are given a blessing of life and other religions should respect that we are all equal in the eye of God.

That's all bullshit. No religion will ask you to take an innocent life just for them. These are believes created by the media to drive fear in us so that they could control us.

These are religious fanatics who are actually crazy. Unfortunately, there are too many of them to be placed in a psychiatric hospital.

I think the reason why people kill for religion is the based on the teachings and belief of their religion. They belief they fight to enable them have some rewards from God. It is unthinkable that people can't think properly to know what is right and what not.

People kill for religion because they are not able to think, it is like fighting for peace, and unfortunately this kind of people are very easy to manipulate so as long as it is involved hurting others it can't be called an religion.

I guess they just want to make a statement regarding the teachings of their religion. It is also a factor if they had misunderstood the teachings that their religion imposes to them. This is why we shouldn't blame the religion itself but the misunderstanding of the people.
