This article isn t about religion it s about persecution Whether an atrocity is founded in scripture or practice doesn t matter Anyway in most religions scripture doesn t necessarily dictate religious practice that s not even the case with religions that have more literalist approaches to religious life such as Islam Many things Muslims do as a practice of religion are outside of the Qur an I imagine the same is true for Hinduism Anyway we don t have the authority to go into that level of analysis If we had to contrast what a source says regarding what s religiously sanctioned against actual scripture we d be engaging in original research We d be pretending that we re religious scholars I found a reliable source that said something and I edited accordingly Because of all the wikilawyering here I m having to almost quote my sources without violation copyright The source called it religiously sanctioned and that s the phrase I used I m open to any mediation btw if mediation leads to enforceable actions and presumes that WP policy actually matters
