have consistently failed to move from or to justify your position of blaming the religion for this and other atrocities

Jim, I really have no idea what you are talking about. I think your judgement is clouded by your vendetta against other members. That is not and never has been my position. In fact I posted only a few posts up something that Don commented on -

I have stated over and over again that the religion is not the people and the people are not the religion

Religion is not to blame for this. People are. They did say they were acting for Islam, which they could well have been in their minds. They were not acting for most of the people who follow that religion. How much plainer can I make it? Oh yes, and what 'other atrocities' am I supposed to be blaming Islam for? While I have every sympathy for your point of view and can respect it, you are doing yourself no favours by making this stuff up. Now, please either find me some facts with which to back up your accusations or stop making them.

Cheers
