Why do you refuse to believe that? Scores of mass shooters do this shit for some petty reason - couldn’t get a date, was bullied, or just NO REASON at all.

That’s racist as fuck, man. If they were white you would swallow the workplace grudge motive IMMEDIATELY.

Am unfortunate number of people shoot up their workplace without a religious motive, because they have some grudge or resentment or whatever, and those attacks are planned long in advance too. While it’s quite possible that this was religiously motivated, we can’t assume that it was just because of his ethnicity.

Do you know what religion he is? We know he’s middle eastern. We know he worked at the center. If this guy was white and devoutly christian, we would all think it was a personal attack.

YOU DON’T KNOW THAT THO damnit you’re absolutely jumping to conclusions

what little evidence we currently have.

Yeah. I mean, it’s possible that religious extremism played a part, but we shouldn’t jump to that conclusion just based on their ethnicity.

inference is still assumption. and both are dangerous.

the OP was wondering aloud about what motive could make this couple leave their child, and the guy i responded with “religion”. he absolutely claimed it was their motive.

Why? Because he wasn’t Christian? He was at a work party. If this was a white christian dude people would automatically assume it was work place related, but because he’s from Saudi Arabia you assume it’s religious fanaticism even though there’s nothing at all to indicate that?

They never read the article. They wouldn’t let facts get in the way of them making blind assumptions about religion.

You know you’re doing something right, when the nutjob trolls are piling on you.

That’s one intellectually dishonest way of looking at it.

but it might have been! you’re making assumptions. we’ve seen before that these shootings have been rooted in nothing but anger and revenge.

my point is that it’s dangerous and unfair to immediately assume religious extremism. this only adds to the vicious cycle of xenophobia that we have in this country.

So far there is no hint whatsoever that this has anything to do with religion.

There was a “dispute,”

And you know this how?

...doesn’t sound like that was their motive at all. did you read the article?

Cannot comprehend what sort of motive makes you leave your infant daughter with her grandmother and then saddle her with the legacy of your heinous acts.
