When a Lutheran commits a crime, do you blame the religion or the person? Just curious

When a Lutheran were to be remotely controlled by some religious nitwits to hit some guy with an axe, because he drew a cartoon of somebody with a cross on his hat or a cross tied to a bomb, then I would.

Ted, can you please stop behaving like a total asshole? You perfectly know what this is about and you in no way support this kind of action.

I don't condone his behavior but I don't think its fair to condemn an entire religion because of a few bad apples. There are nearly 2 billion Muslims in the world. If Islam was truly a religion of hate and war, there would be violence nearly everywhere since Muslims live nearly everywhere in the world.

I have met a number of Somalis here. They are much less violent than many Americans. How do you explain that?

Also, that said, you do know that this behavior currently is to be expected from Muslims only, from sick Muslims, I'll give you that, but with same sick Muslims having full support from a large percentage of their truth fellas in many districts of Europe, Middle East and elsewhere. Polls enough have proved that even recently.

These are facts, sad and sick facts.

The polls have changed.....and the attitude of many Muslims towards terrorism appears to be changing:

And let me ask you........since the US is the most violent first world nation, is it fair to say that the American culture is sick and leads to violence?
