35. I really don't give a flying rat's ass if you criticize the religion. Any of them - there

isn't spit's worth of difference between any of them. Just the yeardecadecentury in which they become bloodthirsty bastards. All of them could turn into dust tomorrow and I would be looking for compost to make it worth something.

On the other hand, we have a 29 year old kid, an American citizen, born here, lived here, of Afghani descent, who may have read some Islamic web sites, and on the day of his murderous rampage and suicide he made a 911 call and said some shit about ISIS.

He was a New York Democrat longer than he professed to being an ISIS extremist.

The most likely scenario is that he was a bully, and had some really deep and serious anger issues - he may well have had a mental health episode. In his house that would have been frowned on as much as him professing to be a homosexual.

The whole act in front of his dad about being mad about the two guys kissing? He wouldn't be the first self-loathing homosexual who had never, ever experienced a single person telling him that he was worth a damn and lost it in a world of hate. And that would be yet one more failure of our mental health system, not a jihad.

You don't know why he did it, and neither do I.

But I am no fan of magical thinking, and for damn sure when it involves whitewashing our heroes or making our villains into excuses for our own lack of action.

Ymmv. Feel free to blame whomever you want. I would rather find the problem and fix it.

bye.
