Obviously you're hurting or just angry but shifting prejudice from one group to another accomplishes nothing.

Some Islamist terrorists are terrorists acting in the name of their religion. Obviously they're not all terrorists, and not all all their violence is motivated by the the Islamic religion, but we have to be clear that sometimes it simply is a religious motive.
In this case, I'm not entirely convinced this shooting was motivated by atheism as much as it was a hate for Islamic people in his building. Yes, it raises a level of terror, but he didn't do it to make a propaganda video and he didn't scream out "in the name of atheism" while he shot them.
We'll see.
- lol mono, how about we just call it terrorism and we're done, no need for video, no need for excuse, jus'terrismGeorgesII
- sure, it can be called terrorismmonospaced
- but I was really referencing the OP about religionmonospaced

- they have... I'm not denying it. I'm just not convinced this one was motivated by atheism.monospaced
- I think it was a hate crime, a form of terrorism I suppose, but certainly not an arm of "militant atheism"monospaced
- Georges, just like you I like a good discussion. But sometimes you make me feel like I cannot express an opinion :(monospaced

If a crazy muslim murders someone he's a terrorist, islam is bad and religion sucks.
But a white atheist, murders 3 young students, he's just a psychopath, it doesn't have any news value and "oh no you can't blame atheism for this."
No I'm blaming atheism, I'm blaming you my atheist friend who doesn't spit out your hatred wrapped in logical fallacy, on my religion at every chance.
So, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto"
