Going to rock the boat with this one, but I get where he is coming from.
On average around 155,000 people die each day worldwide. Not all of them die of natural causes and some die downright violent deaths that are not related to religion, or more specifically, a particular religion.
People get killed violently for all sorts of reasons and motivations; greed, simple hate; religion is just one of the many reasons violent murder happens.
Being shot multiple times, being burned alive, being drowned, being stabbed, slashed and raped all occur along with others. Yet no-one seems to want to post about them unless it ties in with a particular religion.
You want ultra violent and barbaric, start with South Africa, Central America, and South America, with homicide rates of 37.3% 29.3% and 25.9% per 100,000 inhabitants. Still I don't see anyone posting here about some of the horrific natures of these particular murders. Main stream media also avoids it as well. Why...because they have their favorite punching bag and it comes in the form of a religion.
I'm not a Muslim; I was born into the your typical Anglo religion and made my own mind up about it all. I would describe myself as an agnostic atheist. To sensationalize a horrific murder because of religion makes no sense to me, not unless you give fair coverage to all the other horrible things that go on.
Murder is ugly enough, especially violent, barbaric murder. She was murdered...it doesn't matter what religion the person or persons that perpetrated this were in the grand scheme of things, because on that day more people died just as violently, if not more so, for completely retarded reasons. I feel sorry for her and anyone else who dies in such a horrific fashion.
Flame away.
