Islamist gun men attack Dallas art event

The thing is that now we are told they were not even Muslims, so it is getting very confusing.

Why did they care about the Cartoons?

Why does no one care about motive? Motive is everything.

Please... Show me where I was talking about you..

Three of us commenting today, you were talking to him while he was arguing with me.. Unless you were talking about yourself that leaves me..

Don't be a coward about it now.

[GandD 5,966]

Wait, its, they should have known better than to do something like this. But if they knew better, they're bigots.

Oh please. I have been talking for some time now - in this thread - about the wrongheaded idea that somehow Muslims or Islam is culpable for what these two dildos did. If you believe that they are, then you'd be wrong. If you do not believe that, then you're not. It's really quite simple. No need to make it complicated. My conversation with Marv had nothing to do with you. Not sure why you feel the need to insert yourself there.

Why is that confusing? They may have thought of themselves as Muslims but their deeds tell a very different story. As I said, Scott Roeder most certainly thinks of himself as a Christian but his deeds say that he's clearly not. Christians don't run around committing murder. Neither do Muslims. That seems to be pretty straightforward to me.

Someone just came by my desk and was reading over my shoulder and called me a blasphemer..

I didn't have a comeback but I have one ready for next time "How did you know my Instagram name?"

Islam may not be "culpable" as a whole for what these two guys did but Islam is the motive for the act committed by these two guys. I guess Islam, or any belief for that matter is like a gun; only dangerous in the wrong hands.

I apologize for calling you a coward. That was the wrong thing to say and uncalled for - you are anything but.

It's generally brainwashed people that easily become dangerous. Religion is but one of the tools used to brainwash people. There are others. The Nazis did it without relying on religion, as did Stalin. Gangs do it all over the country each and every day.

"We are doing this as a prudent measure due to a lot of things in the news lately," Davis said. "While this change is not tied to a specific credible threat, recent events have led us to recognize the need to take prudent steps to ensure that our security measures can be increased quickly."
