I disagree with your premise.
Zealous persecution...demonstration...homicide bombings...these are acts of a
violent person, not necessarily a
religious person. Perhaps in your mind, being a "true believer" is equated to being violent; but I don't see why those two states would have to be conjoined. Haven't you heard of a
rebel without a cause?
(You might as well say r*nning marathons predisposes someone to being a "zealous persecutor"--after all, persecution involves
chasing after something, and marathon training, if nothing else, require ZEAL...)
