Here's a mental health question regarding Islam from the Shia perspective. In Islam, killing seems permitted if a person threatens certain religious sensibilities, i.e., misuse of the Prophet's image and what not. And an infidel may be killed.
My analysis of those willing to kill for religious reason seems to be motivated by anger, hate and resentment.
Yet mental health specialists advise against holding grudges, retaining anger and the like.
Several of the great religions Judaism, Christianity and to the extent one considers Buddhism a religion, forgiveness and allowing an affront to be forgotten for the mental health of an individual is essential.
It seems to an outsider that holding a grudge, holding on to anger, even against one' enemies, is a core doctrine of many Islamicists. Isn't that bad for mental health of adherents?
