Idunno man. I feel single/few insane individuals being driven to do insane things using anyone’s words as justification isn’t something anyone can control as they can just as likely use anything anyone says as justification as to do something insanse?

Isn’t this the same as blaming Islam for its teachings with regards to terrorism? I mean using that logic, then isn’t Islam far more, far far more guilty of this? Personally, I do not subscribe to this idea. I am for personal responsiblity.

That might be a valid comparison if people were blaming conservatism and/or the Republican party in general for this incident, but by and in large that's not what's happening. It's Trump specifically, plus a few other right-wing talking heads like Steve Bannon who seem to be having the blame for this directed at them.

That is why I said “Islam” (the religion, which is the referenced source of the rhetoric) and not “Muslims” (the people).
