| − | 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. | + | 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.
