Their first mistake was paying attention to a hallucinating nut-bag warrior and pedophile who holed up in a cave claiming visions and messages from God in order to hi-jack the Judeo-Christian religion and start one to his own liking with him at the helm. Technically, as far as I’m concerned, they should all be Jewish. One God-One Religion.
