Your words remind me of this scene.
A film, but not far from reality. "God, protect me while i clean your territory from ungrateful bastards who don't praise you". Let's not forget typical family members with a strong belief in god who ask for the good will of a man expert in handling weapons solely for killing. Either an American soldier with a Bible or a Terrorist with a Qur'an, both are exactly the same in terms of barbaric primitive justice.
