This is beyond messed up and is absolutely uncharacteristic of what really happened that night. That mural belongs in the garbage: BREITBART – A mural of a man who looks like George Zimmerman shooting a likeness of Trayvon Martin was unveiled Friday at the state Capitol of Florida. A mirror sits in the spot under a hoodie where Trayvon Martin’s face would be, bordered by Martin Luther King, Jr.’s face decorated with streaks of blood. Miami artist Huong created the 10-foot mural, which carries the message, “We are all Trayvon Martin.”

I listed a number of prominent Muslim terrorists who had western secular educations (I could have listed Major Hassan too). Clearly your point about secular educations being a panacea was wrong. Religion if often the reason for violence. Why aren't there Mennonite terrorists? They're some of the most religious people around. I've been in a lot of churches (mostly baptist and pentecostal and non-denominational) and I've never heard a sermon calling on anyone to commit a violent act. I've never heard of someone shouting "Praise Jesus" before committing an atrocity. Have you?
