Thanks, innaf, I just saw your post.
I think people who try to get their own way by bullying (either by verbal abuse or by physical attacks including murder) are pathetic and dangerous. They don't understand that you don't win respect by threats, you win respect by behaving in a way that makes your opponent understand that you you are worthy of admiration. The OT God, and Allah, for instance tried to terrorise people into obedience, but any self-respecting person despises such behaviour.
