Holy books and texts should not contain violence, killings and unwholesome words or acts.

Followers will follow it in blind faith.

Holy men that expound holy words only contain No-Self, Compassion anchor on Panna Wisdom - hence a truly "Holy man" - whose Mind, Heart and disposition is inherently a Pure Man or Perfected Man - and hence qualified as Holy Man.

In the Buddhist scripture - that contain the verbatim of what Buddha says in His Lifetime - not a single unwholesome words is utter by the Buddha - such is Buddha Purity and Perfection in Buddha's Mind, Heart and His Disposition - and thus Buddha is truly qualified as the True Holy Man.

As long as the World do not take the initiatives to tackle the IS threat decisively and effectively, the World will constantly face the IS threat and IS will constantly torment the World who are not able to respond effectively.

For the first time, the World feel so helpless with IS threat and IS - a small extreme evil group is taking all the initiatives in tormenting the World and yet the World is not able to get its act together to eradicate the IS threat.

This liberty is synonymous with gun liberty - that will be more detrimental to the society.

We can be sympathetic or have compassion with such group of people who are abnormal. But we should not have support, legalise and make it a mainstay in a society that is deviant - and will impact the mainstream that goes against the Nature.

Imagine one day, a human want to legalise marriage with an animal eg. his pet dog. Will the Supreme Court legalise it and deem it legitimate?

There is no Global Strategy to tackle the IS threat effectively.
If there is, IS will have run out of food, recruits, weapons, ammo and land to survive not to mention thrive and running amok.

Too much emphasis on what you wear and what to cover up.

Where neglecting more training on the Mind and the Heart.

  Too much emphasis on the form or superficial or literal interpretation that is skin-deep.
  And too little emphasis on the substance, on the heart and the mind.

  In this way, followers will follow the teaching in blind faith and fail to practice the real substance of the religion.
  
  Misinterpretation of the holy teachings will arise - and result in wrong behavior.
  
  Honestly, if a person is discipline and with true faith - will one succumb to desires on what others wear, what other people say or do?
  
  It is all in a person's Mind and Heart. As long as a person's Heart and Mind has disciplined, He or She will not succumb by lust or desires just by seeing what others' wear.
