Last time I checked, criticizing the religion does not equate to rallying up people. Unless you can find a post of mine where I said "Lynch Muslims whereever you find them" or the like, then your point is rather moot...

Another point I should make was that a post I made in response to yours was "If the killers murdered in the name of Islam, then its an Islamic attack." This quote gives no implication that I fully believed that the shooting was driven by Islam, though I explained in a reply to Barney that the likelihood skews towards that motivation based on German crime statistics. And in this post, I said that the motivation is "far from an absolute certainty".

So while you're right in that a mod shouldn't be someone who rallies up people against Islam, that someone isn't me.

You said that I was using a fallacy because I stated that the absence of a pattern that matches an islamic attack suggests that it wasn't an islamic attack. You can fight over semantics and what you may or may not have implied all you want, but no amount of that will change that I was right and you were not.

There's no one criteria for what constitutes or does not constitute an Islamic attack. If a person murders people in the name of Islam, then it is an Islamic attack, though in this case in Munich, it was not. The pattern is rather meaningless if the motivation was the religion. So it's not a matter of semantics. You were off the bat entirely.

So I don't see how you're right in any regard, moreso you failed to adequately prove that I rally up people against Islam.
