muslims have only one option to get what they want. they will kill any non muslims to make their point and succeed in their aim. thats their ideology, kill and destroy. mush as the quran says, go and kill the enemies of allah. thats why they scream, alla akbar before they do their evil deeds as if its the instruction from their god. truly sick religion
