This is how your posts read.
Christians do this, Muslims do that...
why not go further?
All women do this, all men over the age of sixty five do that, all children born in East Africa want this, all Greek mainland women do this,
All Chinese elderly do this, all Puerto Ricans and Hispanics claim this, etc.....
Go ahead, make sweeping, prejudiced generalizations about people. This kind of language that assumes the uniform behavior of a population, is a key component that drove other people to commit mass murders and killings.
The minute you say ALL PEOPLE DO X, you have done
enough in the day to add to the process of fueling hate, which is a factor that leads to killing people.
