(2,262 posts)His testimony is at times inconsistent. But McVeigh's motivation for killing lots of people, often seems to be very influenced by religion.
Nit-picking the problematic nature of McVeigh's possible relation to one particular explicitly right-wing Christian group, is obviously a sophistical attempt by Okasha to distract from the central point.
And what WAS the central point? Note that in any case, the story of McVeigh was here appended to this OP, as a mere footnote in effect to the real story: the BRANCH DAVIDIAN. Which clearly and overwhelmingly of course, is a typical case of religious extremism causing many deaths.
That is the central point that Okasha is desperate to cover up.
Why is Okasha so desperate to defend or distract attention from major crimes by religion? Why are she and Rug so eager to cover them up, obscure them, whitewash them? That is the interesting question. And of course, the motivation is obvious. Okasha cannot face the sins of the churches she once embraced. And in effect, she cannot face, she is in Denial of, her own continued complicity with those sins. As she now serves as their apologist and chief whitewasher. Desperately trying to distract attention from the central point.
