E.g.: stone the women piously, chop off hands piously, etc. Major branches, like Shia and Sunni? the jihadists? The problem is they have no "pope" with authority since 500AD. The US-dwelling Muslims refrain of declarations that would have defamed them, nevertheless "pious" honor killings are on. As I explained several times, this is not against Muslims, Christians kill as well (abortion Docs lately and Inquisition some time ago) - piously. Indians put widows into the fire consuming the husband's body - piously. Aztec etc. priests ate the executed human offerings (mostly girls with tender flesh) also very piously. Crap.
