re: #26 Killgore Trout
In regards to “but it wasn’t “Islamic” in any way”; Well, yes and no. I agreed that local Muslim communities should not be held collectively responsible but the same people will tell you that Islam is not a monolithic block, it’s a diverse religion. Unfortunately, today’s attack was “Islamic” and I’m sure there are people out there that are happy about it and think it’s a religious duty. Bin Laden was a Muslim and his actions were sanctioned by some religious scholars. It is what it is.
Replace Muslin & Islamic with Christian/Christianity and Bin Laden with Scott Roeder and you just described the radical Evangelical Christian movement.
Both are wrong.
