1. Terrorism is a problem.

The challenge is not to blame an entire group for the act of an individual.

[OnlinePoker]

34. But people do it all the time here when it comes to guns

The vast majority of gun owners are responsible, but every time there's a tragedy like this, the call goes out to "ban all guns".

[Chasstev365]

2. Are followers of Christianity racist, violent members of the KKK?

NO! And yes; it's racist to pose the question.

[virgogal]

14. My late mother would be horrified at your answer.

We were taught that ALL questions are acceptable---seeking an answer is the point of a question.

3. Is it bigoted to wonder why some US Christians become terrorists and kill?

(I almost had it but couldn't bring myself to leave out "some" as you did.)

They hate LBGT persons.
Jews
Muslims
Other Christians who disagree with their interpretation of the Bible.
Dark skinned people, especially blacks and "Mexicans".

Can they live in a liberal society ?

Europe is lucky, they don't seem to have this variant of hatred as bad as we do. Well, not since we kicked Hitler's ass in WW II, anyway.

I'm sure most US Christians are normal but how can you tell the difference ? *

* well, one way might be the confederate flag in the window or the tailgate. But not all of them are violent about their hate.

4. Christian extremists refuse to bake cakes.

Islamic extremists and proponents of Sharia kill.

What's your point?

[bdwker]

5. Same here.

[napkinz]

6. Pastor Kevin Swanson: Kill The Gays!

[Kang Colby]

8. Some loon talking nonsense...compared to millions of individuals actively involved in "holy war".n/t

[napkinz]

10. hello ... the fundamentalists in this country also want a holy war

[Kang Colby]

17. By refusing to bake cakes.

Look, I'm not excusing Christianity where warranted. But I think it's intellectually bankrupt when so many people work to excuse Islamic radicalism because it doesn't fit their preferred narrative.

[napkinz]

27. Republicans only recognize acts of terror carried out by followers of radical Islam.

They refuse to acknowledge acts of terror carried out by followers of radical Christianity (because it's their own people who are carrying out those acts).

Yes, The Planned Parenthood Shooter Is A ‘Christian Terrorist’

29. ...

[Kang Colby]

30. Oh cool, you posted memes that repeat your preferred narrative.

Meanwhile ISIS.

[uppityperson]

18. Rather like rw rextremist and teabaggers.

[Bluenorthwest]

33. And no one on DU would ever think to defend him nor to distract from him by posting about someone

else who said the same thing.

[uppityperson]

9. Seriously? Here's a link for your consideration.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_violence_against_LGBT_people_in_the_United_States

[Kang Colby]

13. I didn't see any at your link that were done in the name of Christianity.

That's the difference.

[uppityperson]

15. You looked up all those links in <2 min?

[uponit7771]

20. This is false on its face

[truebluegreen]

21. You still here?

[David__77]

7. No. There are many manifestations of Islam that are destructive and evil.

That's my opinion. I support destruction of those manifestations of Islam. I do not support destruction of or banning of Islam.

I do not support the US welcoming people who support imposition of Islamic law, which includes execution of people for being homosexual. I do not support the US having warm relations with governments that execute homosexuals simply for being homosexual.

[bdwker]

16. Tell me...how can you tell the difference..

between those who are peaceful and those that "support imposition of Islamic law" ?

I don't know.

Omar was normal until last night.

[Turin_C3PO]

11. Why don't you

tell us your thoughts on the subject.

[bdwker]

19. Honestly..I'm conflicted.

and confused.

[Turin_C3PO]

25. The thing is,

This guy was a citizen. There's nowhere to send him to. Your thoughts in the OP might, theoretically, work for foreign Muslims but that's it.

[Dems to Win]

12. It's insane that we allow Saudis to fund Wahhabi mosques and clerics in the US

If it were up to me we would:

Close all Saudi-funded Wahhabi mosques in the US

Stop giving foreign Wahhabi clerics visas to come to the US.

This would be the minimum we should do to protect our citizens from Wahhabi 'Kill The Infidel' religion, imho.

Of course, as long as our government kow-tows to the Saudis, no action will be taken.

[truebluegreen]

22. Why yes, yes it is. Any other questions?

[uponit7771]

23. ye it is..............Dylann Roof was a devout Christian

[spanone]

24. 24 hours ago he was normal? bullshit.

[One_Life_To_Give]

26. Discussion we must have

How do kids growing up in our midst become supporters of hate filled organizations? Be it ISIL, or any other group?

[TipTok]

28. Everything is permitted if the magical man in the sky says it's ok...

Specific brand of magical man doesn't matter.

[cali]

31. The vast majority of U.S. Muslims

find this act of slaughter as abhorrent as other Americans.

[Lance Bass esquire]

32. I compare it to the Christian dark ages

The holy wars..the inquisition. ..crusades.
Not a fan of any organized religion.
One thing I notice is that they all go thru a civil war internally. A moderates vs the fundamentalist type thing. Eventually the moderate voice of Islam will prevail. Sucks to be us having to be involved with their process. JMHO
