Yes. And in the sentence immediately after that I explain why this does not seem to be the case with this shooter.

How so? Are you saying religious extremism can not happen within a countrys predominant religion?

The US is predominantly christian, yet they've faced a host of militant christian terror attacks (mostly on abortion clinics). Turkey, Afghanistan and Irak meanwhile, are predominantly muslim countries yet they've been heavily subjected to islamic terrorism. To the point, that a couple of years ago there was scarcely a day in the news when there wasn't a new bombing in Kabul (heck, the last one was 16 hours ago). Before you assume it was all attacks against foreign soldiers, there where a lot of attacks against churches, mosks and markets with no soldiers even present and the attacks continue to this day with no foreign forces in these countries.

My point was that sometimes crimes happen to be committed by religious people even if their religion is incedental to the crime. This seems to be the case here (again, if the shooter was even muslim).

You seem bent on claiming that this was religious terror, when there's very little to support that assumption based on the information we have available. Especially based on the behavior of the shooter.

Please tell me about this host of militant Christian terror attacks. There has been one attack on a Planned Parenthood in recent memory (Colorado Springs), but using that as a comparison to the attacks in the Middle East is just absurd. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_terrorism knock yourself out in the United states section. It was much worse in the eighties and nineties, but there have been attacks even in recent memory.

Just to clarify, this conversation was not about christian terrorsim at all. It was just one of many examples of terrorists within the countries predominant religion. There was no comparison going on.

You seem to think I was trying to compare christian terrorism to Islamic  terrorism, wich is not the case. My only point was that christian terrorism exists in predominantly christian countries, and it does.

I misunderstood you then. Reading it, I thought you were going for a comparison by using "a host of" to describe the amount.

That said, the lack of content in that article is about what I expected. From 1996-20015, there wasn't a single attack from an identified "Christian terrorist" in the United States. Domestic terror is just as scary as a foreign group launching or leading an attack in another area.
