Oh hell no, they'd love that. It's just that Shakira is from the wrong god, they want it from the right god, is all.

All fundamentalists are the same no matter the religion, race or community they are affiliated to.

They want to achieve the same end goals via different methods so they can pretend they are special or superior.

There is this old indy game, where Charles Barkley executed something called the Chaos Dunk, resulting in the deaths of a bunch of people, so basketball gets outlawed and it's a whole story.

That's absurd and entertaining, but this feels like a reminder how we get to absurd laws in real life.
