Well it would be nice to find a common denominator in whack jobs, but I was wondering more about why we, or Obama and other press, academia, etc, when describing these Jihadist type killings never refer to their faith, as being part of the component ?
In a recent interview in SI Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a person who I greatly admire, remarked, "Why must peaceful Muslims like myself answer for violent perversions of that religion ( Islam, added by me to clarify) while counterparts in other faith get a pass?"
If you recall recently Obama re: radical Muslims would not even field a question, opting instead to bring up the Crusades and the dastardly deeds they performed, in effect, giving a pass to Islam and using perverted Christianity as his out....
This is what I am talking about. It is almost like if we don't acknowledge it, it might go away....
I call that masking, it was how I use to justify my alcohol consumption instead of addressing it forthright.
Does this make it any easier to see what I trying to convey?
