Sikh Temple Shooter Named as Army Vet Wade Michael Page - Yahoo!

Sad what these terrorists are doing recently. First the shooting at Batman, now this.

My condolences go to all the victim's families.

At what point does it say he was a Christian in the article? There are more ties to him being a white supremacist than a Christian which is an entirely different belief/cult all together!

[Lehsyrus]

I see no reference to him being a Christian as well. Nice try kid.

That's the point of this thread. To bring out the double standard. When ever a muslim commits a crime, it's explicitly mentioned in the title and article. It's not the same for anyone else

Dear god, 6+ billion on the planet and 18 people died. Cool story.

Dear God, 18 people who live in a civilized 1st world country that didn't have to die were cut down with no mercy.

Whatever, there's 7+ billion people that can take their place because human lives have no value.

Dear God

So because there's so many people on the planet, it's alright to kill? Cool, where do you live again?

[Ahmad]

Oh no! 18 people died!

I mean you gotta admit.. America makes every thing a big deal (9/11)

[Empire]

9/11 was kinda different. You don't really see a plane flying into a skyscraper everyday.

The difference here is that when a muslim terrorist does it its for a cause shared by others in his group. When a christian terrorist does it, its usually for personal beliefs of his own.


That being said, it is kind of funny how overblown both these were. 12 people dead is a horrible thing, but it could have been a lot worse.

[Insane]

Damn. What a fantastic guy.

I'd love to sit down and have a cup o' joe with this Wade.

[Offspring316]

The difference between a Muslim extremist committing an act of terrorism and this guy, is that the Muslim extremist will take responsibility for the act and will admit that he is committing an act of Jihad against whoever the target is often in video recordings preceding the events, and this guy shooting in the Sikh Temple does not imply that he is, in fact, a Christian.

thats cuz islamic terrorism is specifically religiously motivated, more so than other types of terrorism, such as nationalist or environmental terror campaigns. the dude in oak creek was incidentally christian (like 99% christian area), which probably had some to do with his motives, but contextually had less importance to his crime than in islamic terror incidences.
