Unread post

That was an effective redirect to the topic. What do we conclude from it, that some beliefs are actually criminal, since they create the demand for crimes like this? Even if we assume that a very small part of a population holds such an ignorant belief, the demand to satisfy it would create atrocities. It must be agonizing to to be part of the majority free from this delusion, but knowing it is in your midst.
