At least 8 people were attacked/injured in a mass stabbing in St Cloud Minnesota before the attacker was killed. The attacker referenced Allah. Asked one victim if they were Muslim.

Also hopefully not related but a man in Alabama tried to run down several people/a crowd before being shot by security guard.

But....Don't you know that Islam is the Religion of Peace? All the references in the Koran encouraging Muslims to Kill Infidels are just "fiction".

And just by coincidence followers in different states just happen to commit acts of aggression and violence almost simultaneously. Just by coincidence.

Somali community in Minnesota denounces mall attack.

Most probably don't want that type of individual or behavior. But it seems to happen all over the country with people from different Mosques and communities. So what is the only remaining commonality and/or motivator?

It appears, that for some of these Radicals, the Crusades of the 11th thru 15th Centuries have never really ended.

How many murders are committed by non-Muslims, some of them Christians, everyday in this country?

I don't think there is Any movement from followers of Christianity, in this nation, to violently target Muslims. The Vast majority of murders here are committed by the street and drug gangs....and, I suppose there might be a few of those thugs who Do go to church on Sunday.

Yeah, Christians just murder doctors who perform abortions... :whoops:

Either way, it's not the religion that is to blame. It's the extremist zealots who exploit the religion in order to further their own narrow self serving agenda and the easily influenced, disaffected losers desperate for something to bring some kind of supposed meaning to their otherwise empty, meaningless lives.

Islam as a religion is no more to blame for violence than Christianity or Judaism.

Also, I would question your statement about who commits the vast majority of murders here in the US. I think that statistically and historically, the majority of murders are committed by acquaintances or family members of the victims.

I wonder what percentage of those murderers were raised as or identify as Christian....?
