The alleged shooter is a 57-year-old white male; according to his ministry’s website, he “sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn’t the answer.”

    Evangelicals aren’t the least bit unhinged. They only believe a book of tall tales is literal history. /s

    I remember the Time or Newsweek magazine cover that was a mugshot of an abortion doctor-murderer. He was smiling, happy as can be. I tried to look it up, but I’m too lazy to keep trying after five minutes without finding it. It was truly sickening. I think the was around late-90s or early-2000s if that rings a bell.

      It’s amazing how many people in America support Zionist Fascism by quoting the bible and saying that that land must be a Jewish supremacists Ethnostate.

      It’s not even just the hardcore Christian Trump voters. You’ll hear this take from the liberals in the PNW too. Its amazing propaganda. People don’t even think or question it because it’s been burned into their brain since birth.

      It’s why you hear “progressive except Palestine” so often.

        They’re too stupid to know how much they’re being played.

        They probably believe that the people of Gaza chose Hamas to exploit them.

    The irony of a guy whose faith came to power by r*ping and pillaging, telling members of another faith to be nonviolent is hilarious. He and his faith obviously just don’t want the competition.

    Lone actor grievance fuelled violence is no joke. It’s linked to racism, misogyny, anti LGBT and basically all the hatred. They’re fucking dangerous and it feels like they’re on the rise. A recent Uk case is here
