(62,444 posts)Was it Catholicism that caused IRA terrorists to commit mass murder?
Was it Protestant religious belief that causes Robert Dear and Eric Rudolph to go on their murderous sprees?
There are people with violent fantasies who will latch onto anything to engage in those fantasies.
I'm willing to bet that you do not know a single Muslim. I have never worked with or known any Muslim who would believe for one moment that the act of this twisted individual had anything to do with their religion, any more than Catholics would think the violent criminal activities of the IRA have anything to do with theirs.
I never once heard any sane person suggest Catholicism was to blame for mass murder commuted by radical Catholics. I suspect there are reasons for that
