along with assumptions of facts not in evidence.

You saw a Muslim assassination of Americans explicitly in the name of Islam. I saw a deranged American commit mass murder.

Scott Roeder murdered George Tiller in the name of Christ. By the standards that you apply in this case, that was a Chritian assassination. You must certainly condemn Christianity for its vile teachings. But you don't. You (rightfully) point out that the church doesn't condone what Roeder did, and the many shouldn't be blamed for the actions of a disturbed lunatic. And then you refuse to offer Islam the same courtesy.

Yes, I do hate criticizing Muslims because they're Muslims. I hate the rush to judge all based on the actions of a few. Not because "brown skin means America's victims," but because it's a disgusting prejudice.
