Does anyone find victim blaming the Texas artists disgusting?

The media does like to ignore the fact that the terrorist groups that threaten America the most are actually local right-wing or religious groups. Not that there can't be overlap between these groups.

Part of the problem is that christians and muslims are so similar, that when they see a muslim kill someone for religious reasons they get jealous. They want to be able to do the same thing, except while worshiping Jesus instead of Muhammad.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
