Muslim Standards: Murder Anyone You Disagree With

There's an article in Reuters today about a Muslim woman who was murdered by a Muslim fanatic just before she was to give a speech. The article (h/t Little Green Footballs) says:
LAHORE, Pakistan (Reuters) - A suspected Islamist zealot shot dead a Pakistani woman provincial government minister on Tuesday because he believed women should not be in politics, officials said.

Zil-e-Huma, social welfare minister of the Punjab government, a women's activist and supporter of President Pervez Musharraf, was about to give a speech to dozens of people when the lone attacker shot her in the head. She died later in hospital.

The gunman, identified as Mohammad Sarwar, was immediately arrested.  Punjab Law Minister Raja Basharat told Reuters the gunman had been implicated in six previous murder cases but had never been convicted because of a lack of evidence.

"He is basically a fanatic," Basharat said. "He is against the involvement of women in politics and government affairs."

The shooting occurred at Huma's party office in the town of Gujranwala, 70 km (43 miles) north of the provincial capital, Lahore.

"He considers it contrary to the teachings of Allah for a woman to become a minister or a ruler. That's why he committed this action," the police said in a statement.
That's one of the disturbing things about the world's most violent religion. If you believe someone does anything that is contrary to the teachings of "Allah" or the Qur'an, you have the right to murder them. You, acting under your own assumptions, beliefs and biases, can kill someone in the name of "God." Where this stops is anyone's guess. If someone roots for the Cowboys and you are a 49ers fan, can you kill them? What if someone has a slightly different interpretation of the Qur'an than you do? Can you murder him? What if they are wearing a shirt with a color you don't like? Bang-bang, you're dead?

Muslim violence is not limited to non-Muslims. Sunnis and Shiites have been killing each other for centuries, and the current violence in Baghdad is just a continuation of the same. Your Islam is not the same as mine, so you should die.

I have no doubt that if the Sunnis ever wipe out the Shiites, then Sunnis will start killing each other under the assumption that your Sunni Islam is not the true Sunni Islam like mine is.

Islam is a horrible religion.

UPDATE: In the UK, a Muslim man set fire to his house to kill his entire family for being "too Western."

What is it about Islam that turns human beings into monsters? Oh yeah, the guy with the horns. Islam is Satanic.

So then why are you still alive?

Because the Muslims are still too busy killing each other to get to me.

Instead of a smarmy comment, David, why don't you tell me why I am wrong? You can't, can you?
