Being a good religious person is a highly desirable quality. But when a person sarts taking more interest in religion than needed,then the problem starts. It is like you need sleep to rest your body but if one sleeps for longer duration regularly it has its adverse effect on health. You need food and if you do not keep a check on diet you will spoil your health. Similar can be said about the dose of religion. It should be moderate and balanced. Excessive dose of religion works as an opium and man looses his sense. He/She performs heinious acts that does not have religious sanctity in the name of religion.Parents should make their children aware of the pitfalls.

I completely agree with U that there are few clerics/leaders who dosuch things getting dosed in wrong thought of killing others... and think that allah will give them heaven... Its time that Madrassas should under the supervision of educated and modern ppl who would check their activities
