That sounds wonderful in ideal and on paper but the reality is that the zealotry and the recurring ensuing violence cannot be stopped by simply saying "not ALL believers!..."

I do not understand why religious evil is protected but defensive action is not.

And let's be realistic here: zealotry, whether its religious or ideological, will always happen. My point is that you shouldn't punish the many for the crimes of the few.

Defensive action is justified. But not when it affects the bystanders who did no wrong.
