Religious extremism can make a man cross all limits - I think the case of ISIS terrorist who 'executed' his mother was widely reported some days back. Clearly, there is no shortage of brainwashed idiots to carry out the most depraved act in name of religion. The latest tragedy fits quite well into the depressing pattern of all the other tragedies from the past - in Pakistan, Nigeria, Iraq and Syria, amongst other places. I guess the only long term solution to this problem can be to take religion out of public-life/politics, and to stop using terrorists as strategic assets. I sincerely hope we can see such a dawn in our time.
