These acts are carried out in the name of wrestling eventual total control over an entire nation, nay, an entire region, of people. Like any enterprising theocracy, *nothing* is too extreme in the name of the ultimate goal...namely, having the sheep pacified and productive so that you can lay back and enjoy the fruits of their labors.
Religion is an excuse, not a reason.
