God didn't tell all those people to fight, it was man. same with the kamikaze bombers, they're convinced that what their doing is completly right, it's from the leaders of the groups, like osama. religion is used to mask and promote their cause.
How do you know that God didn't tell them? You can't prove that he didn't. If God chooses to speak to some people, and not others; only the people he speaks to are going to know for sure. Schiznophrenics could be talking to God, or they could just have mental disorders, you never know.

Although this brings on a strange point, why do we believe the people in the bible were talking to God, or doing God's will. But if people say they are talking to God, or doing his will now, we assume they are crazy, and should be commited, or arrested?

I don't believe in God, so I'm not worried about it, but for those that do, think about it.
