Some Christians denounce the Klan -- some do not. And it's the same with Muslims vis a vis ISIS and other terrorism. So I don't see why it's ever permissible to paint all Muslims with the same brush. I certainly don't think that people like the Klan, or like Dylan Roof, are representative of Christians.
And for what it's worth, all Muslims are 'Islamic'. Saying "Islamic Muslims" is the same as saying "Christian Christians".
Was Dylan Roof a Christian? What church did he say he attended? He sure didn't sound or act like a Christian to me. I think he is a horrible racist and that was his sole motive and had nothing to do with his religion. Are the KKK Christians? All they seem to be is another hate group who are white just like I don't think the Nazi skinheads are Christians. They are just another racial hate group like the KKK and Black Panther Party among many others. .
Do you have a list Montjoy showing which mass shooters were Christians and did their despicable acts saying they did it because they were Christians?
The reason I asked is even the PP shooter never attended church since he moved to CO. What church did he ever belong to? He seemed to be more anti-government like the Unibomber who was also a misfit in society and a loner who lived a reclusive life up in the woods in a cabin.
I honestly have never seen it shown or proven where many of these shooters were Christians or even republicans like is often claimed and solely did the mass shootings based on religion or because of a certain political party.
I do know back in the 70s during the Zebra Killings in CA all of those 17 murders and countless severe assaults to only whites were done because of racial hatred even though the four black murderers were also Muslims. Unless LFarakan taught them that the only infidels are whites and should be murdered. One of the murdered victims was even decapitated so its hard to say if the motive for the murders was about the Muslim religion or about racial hatred. I suppose it could be both.
But I really would be interested in reading a list of the recent past mass shooters where it was proved their motive was because of a religion, or racial hatred or just because they wanted to carrying out a mass shooting for the hell of it and because they knew they could because they always strike gun free zones.
Now these two terrorists seem to have the same motive as Major Hasan who was also a Muslim terrorist extremist and praised his God when firing upon totally innocent people murdering many and wounded many many more.
But I am not sure being Christian had anything to do with a lot of these other mass murders nor their political parties.
Did Holmes and Lanza even go to church or even vote? I know that Newtown is predominately filled with democrats and I think a lot of these type of killers seemed to have lived a very coddled liberal lifestyle.
The DC Snipers were Muslims too weren't they?
I was reading an article yesterday about Islamic terrorists which have been caught just this year alone right in our own country and I was surprised to see that quite a few of them came from Samolia (sp) or Bosnia and they had been in our country for a long time and some were citizens of our country. It shows they will wait for years before they plot to strike us hoping to kill as many as they can.
Of course not all Muslims are terrorists and that is why the terrorists should be defined as Islamic Muslim Extremists/terrorists.
It does make me wonder since there are so many Muslims here now why more don't come out in droves against Islamic extremism and ISIS. How can they all get their beliefs from the same Muslim bible yet believe differently than ISIS does? Doesn't Mohammad tell them to kill all others who do not believe as they do? The truth is we don't know what any of them are thinking behind the four walls of their home. For all we know thousands could be agreeing with ISIS and Sharia law. Aren't there some cities here filled with Muslims who want to police themselves under Sharia Law? Isn't that also wanting to be done in areas of France?
