    Well it had to do with a guy that likes the Chicoms trying to start a war of race and religion so the heirs of Mao would have it easy.

    No, they are terrorists.

    And, terrorists do care what people think. In fact, it's part of the definition.

    Well in this case it was a left wing loon who likes what the Chinese do to Muslims in Sinkiang Province.

    Says the guy who just made excuses for people who carried out 55 different terror attacks, killing almost 800 people, while accusing people of making excuses for this mass murder in New Zealand.

    Hypocrisy much, that’s a rhetorical question, of course you do.

    Westerners are not moving en masse to Saudi Arabia or Iran. Why?

    Muslims are moving to the West. Why?

    Is this one way movement because Western society is superior?

    I made excuses for NOBODY.

    Terrorism is NEVER a legitimate response.

    You and I both agree that there ARE factors behind these terrorists events.

    The difference is that you think it is Islam (though you haven't tried to make that argument) and I see a number of other common factors.

    Plus, this was an act of terrorism AGAINST Muslims - so proposing that is because of Islam is more than just a little silly.

    So, they didn't send you a Christmas card, and now you believe they just don't care about you?

    A better question than the OP's would be is it okay to use such events to further one's political agenda for which I would also answer in the negative but every leftist here would either be lying or answering in the affirmative.

    Why is @Texas Republican wrong? Do you think that it is possible for Muslims and non-Muslims to live in COMPLETE peace together?

    What is interesting about that poll is that it is at huge variance with the actual responses on the thread. In other words even the ones posting that the “muslims” should not have immigrated to NZ in the first place if they did want to be shot are not seeing that they are encouraging the shooter

    Yup, I just reported what Trump has said.

    He is your boy, not mine. I noticed that other Trump fans totally ignored what Trump has said. Well, that is par for the course.

    Wrong, you didn't ask why it happened you asked if it was okay to celebrate it believing it shouldn't be celebrated does not preclude there being widely divergent views on the cause.

    except he never called for a complete and total shut down of all Muslims coming into the country just those entering from failed states where there was no possibility of being able to effectively vet them. Not vetting Muslims entering your country has resulted in mass casualties in Europe and a good many rapes.

    They are in the U.S. and New Zealand, and other places as well. The shooter was a white Christian male. He was the terrorist.

    From "Island of the Mad" by Laurie R. King. Setting is 1920's Italy.

    """But the fascisti are less concerned with theory than they are with raw power.

    If one plays on fear, takes away any remotely complicated ideas, and offers people a sense of confidence and right, one's followers will beat to death any enemy they are pointed at.""

    After the murder of an opponent of Mussolini: ""The world waited gleefully for Italian Fascism to crumble undercharges of conspiracy and murder, and another would be tyrant to fade away behind bars.
    Yet , it did not. Instead the thugs succeeded. Newspapers critical of the cause were shut down. The Italian King decided that he feared the country's Republicans and socialists more than he did the Fascists, and refused to dismiss the Mussolini government.

    And, a few months later, Benito Mussolini stood before his nation to declare himself absolute ruler of his country , and to take proud responsibility for the violence that had put him there.""""

    It is not because Trump didn't try. He was shot down twice by the courts.

    Nope not what I am doing at all merely addressing yours. By the way the notion that he is a right wing Christian is belied by his admiration for Communist China. Your knee Jerk response in this instance is every bit as shallow as their victim blaming as you call it.

    Only on the six countries that he attempted to limit immigration from.
