    Maybe paul7 was just helpfully pointing out how often religions are a source of hatred and theologically excused violence

    I wager with confidence. "Group of teens" is code in the West. If it were a group of Christians or whites it'd be known and the story would be widely distributed.

    Yet we've had several instances on these forums of people jumping in early like this and claiming "If the assailant(s) were white, they already would have said so" and getting proven wrong. Who knows? Best not to speculate. Again, speculation like yours had already been proven false several times in the past.

    Very seldom by Christians, quite often by Muslims and atheistic regimes.

    No, like the other incidents that I just eluded to and you are now dodging.

    Not sure what you mean, Christianity is a factual religion. Perhaps my question violated your wrong mischaracterization of Christianity?

    Time will tell. The IRA doesn't worry me, they aren't committing an average of five terror attacks daily like Islam.

    If you really need me to do your homework for you, you'll at least need to quit dodging first.

    No it violated the Christian idea of not judging people especially just because of hatred for another religion.
    No I do not suppose that the truth would worry you.

    Or you could just accept that the media is biased and has certain narratives it likes to push.

    Could I be wrong? Sure, but there's a pattern where media reports are concerned.

    Hooray for desperately, desperately shifting goalposts. Let me know when you are willing to engage in the conversation we were having instead of this kind of strawman. Reminder: you claimed that, since no race was identified, they must not have been white. I reminded you that this assumption has proven false in the past on this forum and that maybe you should wait for the facts before scrambling for this kind or racebaiting. But feel free to put racial politics over facts. No one is stopping you.

    :blahblah:

    The odds are that this is progressive damage control. You know it.

    Again, could be wrong, but I highly doubt it.

    You are putting race baiting over facts. I'll wait for the facts. Feel free to put racial politics ahead of the facts instead. Yes, you could be wrong, which is why you should wait. But, hey, a respect for the facts isn't something that can be taught. Either you have it or you don't.

    Actually it's the game progressive media likes to play. If the perps are white, conservative, or Christian they make it known straight away, even if it's actually a hoax crime. If they're something else, obfuscate, underreport, etc.

    Except you are wrong and people have jumped to the same conclusion based on this faulty "logic" even when it turned out that the perpetrator was white in the past. Again, try evidence for a change. It is better than race politics.

    The alternate universe where we put evidence over race baiting? Lookin' alright. Not sure why you hate evidence so much, but it is a pretty nifty thing!

    Noticed they didn't mention the race of the attackers
    well we know they weren't white because it would have been in the headline

    This prediction has been made before and has ended up being false before. Please try to put evidence over racebaiting. Evidence is a better standard than desperate partisan scrambling. I wish this weren't a controversial statement, but apparently among some segments it is.

    There have been several times in the forums where someone said the exact same thing, based on the exact same "logic," and the attacker did indeed end up being white. Please try to prioritize facts and evidence over racial politics.
