adding comparison to immorality
Amoral can also refer to ''something'' which has no moral quality, such as race or technology (but which can be used for good or for bad). In this case the word ''nonmoral'' may be used.<ref>American Heritage Dictionary (4th ed. 2000) defines "unmoral" as "1. Having no moral quality; amoral. 2. Unrelated to moral or ethical considerations; nonmoral."</ref><ref>http://philosophy.lander.edu/ethics/amoral.html</ref>

Amorality is not to be confused with [[immoral]]ity, in which the individual does have a sincerely held moral code, but it is one that is considered immoral by most other moral codes. For instance, [[Al-Qaeda]] is immoral, not amoral, because they morally believe that since America is evil, they are [[religiously required|jihad]] to annhilate it. Most individuals would feel this view is immoral, but Al-Qaeda believes it is moral, and thus has a sense (albeit a deformed one by most standards) of morality. Amoral individuals, on the other hand, have no moral code whatsoever.
