Kuno was aided by 2 local youths to conduct surveillance on the University.
The objective of religious profiling and killings is to inspire religious hatred.
They want the Christians to feel threatened and persecuted. Such feelings can elicit emotions that can prompt reprisals.
Religious reprisals can have serious ramifications including acts of violence besides increase Islamic radicalization and ethnic terrorism.
