If all this death comes from a toxic religion, why don't you care? You might say "death is death" but nope! Tis not, since religion is the motherload of bad ideas and there is this asinine built in protection clause to anything to do with their religion. I can slap down any criticism in 5 words: It is what they believe. They believe a child f*cking warlord is super awesome, hey it's what they believe. I say "warlord" but really just "guy who was spectacular at murder and nailing 9 yr. olds" would also suffice.
As long as we take this "I don't care that Islam is horrid and responsible for so much death and destruction" stance..well, it just creates more suffering.
Did you notice how the narrative for this story changed? First it was "guys guys, it TOTALLY 100% isn't terrorism!" which meant "this wasn't a muslim".
Then of course whoops it was lol, so now it's "there is no terrorist cell".
People do suck, but some suck way more than others. Sort of like how religions suck, but some are currently vastly more sucky and destructive than others. Islam is the #1 bad idea now.
