Parishioners often think of Worship as going to a religious worship service, listening to religious leaders speak of prophets recognized by the religion, and encouraging religious devotion to religion and/or a Deity.
For the Muslims who murdered the satirical cartoon publishers of Charlie Hebdo magazine, Worshiping Mohammad took a different form. The Hebdo assassins decided to worship by identifying some public critics of Islam, and carrying out a public execution of the published critics of Islam.
Worshiping a religion, by hating the critics of the religion seems to be anti-religious, since the purpose of most religions is to bring enlightenment to the followers of the religion.
"Police said arrest warrants had been issued for Cherif Kouachi, 32, and his brother Said, 34, who they said were believed to be "armed and dangerous". Another suspect, Hamyd Mourad, 18, was named earlier in a police document, according to media reports.
However, unnamed officials said that Mr Mourad handed himself in to police after seeing his name circulating on social media. He was arrested and taken into custody, AFP reported."

Can Murder be a form of Religious Worship?
There are discussion of wars and violent punishments by God in the Old Testament. So Violence is a part of some religious teachings. Jihad is considered a holy undertaking in Islam. Catholics and other religions ex-communicate members into former members. I am just trying to better understand this violent type of worship. What are all the religious justifications of violence in the name of Religion?
