They send death-threats because what they have read from the Quran tells them to do so. The Quran, the base of Islam.

I think religion divides us. Humans are emphatic and want to help one another by nature. But society makes us think in a certain way and we are expected to react that way. Religion has a part in that. The good things done in the name of religion can be done in a rational world.
