Would you kill for religion?

Somebody just posted a cartoon mocking your religion, is that a reason to kill?  Recently a group of cartoonist were killed for supposedly making fun of a Muslim profit.  I wonder why a cartoon of the profit could not be drawn making fun of the cartoonist?  I think that would have been a more appropriate response.  Murdering cartoonist is a bit extreme.  Is that really the teachings of a profit? or the teachings of madmen claiming to be acting in the name of a profit.
The almighty no matter what religion you follow made up some loosely crafted ideas on how people could live.
It is the self righteousness of people and their claim to absolute understanding of the almighty's words and thoughts that they claim gives them the right to kill?  When the only one with the right to take a persons life is the one that has given it to them. 
Next time you feel the desire to kill someone stop for a moment and ask is that what the almighty would do?  and would it be done for that reason?  When the fire and brimstone come raining down on us then we will have the almighties answer.
