The Islamists (Islamic Fundamentalists) are demonstrating that they can insight this sort of violence amongst their followers whenever they want and that they do not care how many people die, even if they are fellow Muslims. In the countries where fatalities have occurred, there is surplus population. What the Islamists are selling is eternal bliss in exchange for giving one's life in a righteous cause. Their political objectives are two fold: one, provoke the governments of the West and the Muslim world into brutal retaliation, so they can recruit more followers and create enmity between these populations and their governments; two, intimidate the Western media into censoring themselves, limiting their freedom of expression and ours.
Marx said that religion is the opiate of the masses. Today, one could add that it is their methamphetamine as well. Either way, it affects too many people like a powerful drug, and there are always pushers with a political agenda ready to manipulate them.
