As it is clearly pointed out in the Torah, and further reminded by Jesus (per the Gospels), when a community is of one mind ("pure") then the punishment is a necessary corrective. Otherwise, it is simply violence. (Since the barrel is mostly filled with rotten apples, to begin with ...)

To wit, the British Empire installed Saudi-Wahabi Islam is in itself an "insult" against Islam, & the Messenger (SAWS).
