"I can see what you are getting at, Jim, but did any of the perpetrators of the above attacks justify them by saying they were doing it in the name of Christianity?"
Does it matter?
Breivik made a point of describing himself as a "Christian Militant" - does that make his massacre a "Christian" one?
In the end it doesn't matter a toss.
These ancient rantings have no effect on sane, reasonable people whatever - it is the nutters in any society they incite to acts of hatred, and people who carry out those acts can and have come from any religion race or country.
No - the Woolwich murder was not a political act - it was the work of a number of twisted bastards who justified themselves by claiming religion to be their reason.
Equally twisted are those who attempt to pin these crimes as belonging to this or that particular brand of religion (in this case, somebody who has previously claimed that an entire gender of a racial/religious community is inclined to sexual deviancy because of their "cultural implant) - sickos all!
