It's annoying how this is suddenly every muslim's fault, but when a christian goes ape shit and shoots people, there's always an excuse. He was young, got bullied, etc etc. Can we admit both groups are crazy? Also, seeing this makes me realize why we can't be super open with guns. We need some sort of restriction. It's unforunate, but that's life. |
How often and to what extent do Christians kill people because of their religious beliefs and get away with it? There are plenty of fundamentalist Christians who don't like gay people, but I can't think of one in recent ages that has gone and killed them at this scale or in this manner? The recent abortion clinic shooting was by a christian man, and the media (and president) rightly outed him as such.

I don't think anybody is addressing all Muslims either, but it is obvious that like Christianity, there is a ton of hateful stuff taught and spread (and not only to the "extremists") - and just as we oppose Christianity's spread of hate we should also oppose Islam's spread of hate, we all live in secular societies afterall.
