Police: Man stabs two after asking about religious beliefs - The Washington Post

How culturally insensitive of those arresting officers. Guess they need multicultural and religious tolerance retraining. After all... y'know... the Crusades!

/sarcasm

And you thought fundamentalist Bible-thumpers were bad. Don't get me wrong. Things like Westboro Baptist church really churn my stomach, but I don't recall them stabbing anyone. And there were no beheadings or burnings at the Scopes Monkey Trial either.

Anyway, let's just hope this 'random act' doesn't become more common now that we've opened the gates to anyone and everyone, all in the name of 'multi-culturalism.

He was a just a gentle giant and all about peace, we simply misunderstand him and are not culturally sensitive enough. Stabbing someone is almost like a bear hug for this guy.

This is getting really really old.

Frankly, I think the muslim community in US has got to be as worried as anyone about what these jackholes are doing to their image.

Then where are they? People keep claiming that most Muslims are peaceful, and forget that even these "peaceful" ones often times agree--at least partially--with the terrorists, and thus aren't protesting. For example, Toronto has 300,000 Muslims--only 10 came to protest ISIS on an organized protest in that city. TEN!!! Out of 300,000!!!

And don't give me that crap about "they were fearful for their lives"--this is America, and protesters are mostly protected here, certainly more so than in the Islamic World. And were not the Christian abolitionists, or the White protesting Jim Crow, fearful for their lives?

Yes, that is true, though it doesn't mean all Muslims are terrorists....just in case you didn't know that.

They exist, but would you believe it anyways?
