Perhaps it means that he, as so many others, uses religion as an excuse
to justify what he wants to do.

That has happened before. It will happen again. As long as people feel a need
to invent religions they will use them as tools to do as they want.

Perhaps it means that in spite of being raised in the wonderful ways of
Islam and reading all its holy writing and learning its laws it does not
stop a man becoming what he has become.

There are many people who have never heard of religon who would not act as he
is doing.

It makes one wonder.



If others decide to kill him it will be because of the religion
of money and power.

Who will be more powerful Allah or Mammon ?

Your question perhaps has no answer except more questions.
