The Tzaddik make great supervillains but I wouldn't worry about them, nor their robots. They seem trapped within rigid beliefs and trapped, perhaps, within a few weak timelines. The Tzaddik are prisoners of Time.
Mind you, all three semitic religions have been at each other's throats since forever. Christianity, Islam and Judaism. All from a tiny patch of mad desert in Central Saudi Arabia. They're Arabs, People of the Desert. They converted the entire world at the point of the sword. All are "ethnocides" (Charles Doughty in the Arabist's bible "Arabia Deserta" p.64 vol. 1).
