You should never hold an entire religion responsible for the actions of individuals.
The simple truth is that many religions enable and condone extreme activity such as this.
These people wouldn't have rioted because someone cut hair on a Tuesday if it weren't for their religion. Fact.
First of all religons don't condone and enable extreve activity like this.
These people wouldn't have rioted, in these scenarios if they weren't religious, I agree with that, however lots of atheists groups, (normally communists) have killed religious leaders as they want to institute state atheism and they will kill any counter revolutionary. There have also been lots of religious leaders/religious people dead because of hatred for religion by atheists and anti-theists.
