Musket's contribution on another thread thread about Catholics:

"I suppose, although I wouldn't wish to see it as a defence, that when you are force fed your morality by priests and nuns all your life, complicity has a diminished responsibility aspect to it.

Complicity means you never challenged the criminals as they claimed their right under their God, whilst reminding you he is your God too.

Deep ingrained superstition, the fuel of corruption.

Time for Voltaire methinks;

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."

Same generalisation and observation relate equally for Muslims Musket?
