BREAKING: Reports of multiple explosions at Boston Marathon leaving dozens wounded.

Very astute. Religion is responsible for killing millions, nay - billions. What are we waiting for? Let's hunt this 'religion' and bring it to justice. Rumour has it it's lurking in the "abstract noun" section in the dictionary.

People have done things in the name of religion for hundreds of years. If someone happens to define themself a muslim and kills in the name of islam they dont suddenly stop being a muslim because you dont like what they did. If you have ever drunk alcohol you are not a muslim by your own logic because thats a non-adherence to islam. If someone practices that religion then they practice it.

Anyone see this (it was quickly deleted)? What are your opinions? https://twitter.com/azadaliCCM/status/323921371556106240

I'm disheartened about what's happened, but I also care about the indirect problems it creates elsewhere. There's no need to swear.

Yes, there are many varieites, but they all adhere to the underlying principle that this act is wrong- they may differ on small matters, the underlying prinicple remains.

For example. On the idea of murder, you could have one group who believs that that the punishment is death. Another that the punishment sho,u,d be life. Aother who believes that the punishment is 15 years. They disagree on the timing of punishment, but all agree that the murder is wrong (hence why they want punsihment).

Similarly, in the various sects if Islam, they may all disgree on small matters (e.g. Whetehr to have a beard or not)' but they will all agree with the underlying, objective divine command- refusing to do so, is Un-Islamic (you cannot refute the word of God) and therefore, they wont be Muslim- they wouldnt be one of the "various sects"

It's not your place to say whether someone is or is not what they claim to be, that is a cop out.

If someone does something in the name of, say, Islam and they think it's justified by the religion/texts then that's their interpretation. They are​ Muslims, like it or not.

There was a man on top of a building near the blast. https://twitter.com/Boston_to_a_T/status/323871088532668416/photo/1/large

Seriously just want go and live on mars!
There's too little love in this world to make up for all this hate!!

I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, "Well, I've had it with humanity."
But I was wrong. I don't know what's going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.
But here's what I DO know. If it's one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness.
But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.
So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, "The good outnumber you, and we always will."

When tragedies strike, heroes rise to meet the challenge: the first responders seen sprinting toward the blast site, the runners who changed course to run to local hospitals to donate blood, and the fine citizens of Boston who at once opened their homes to marathoners in need of a place to stay. When we come together, we cannot be brought down.

Thats a bit of trivial response I notice you didnt address my point. Im not saying 'hunt down religion' that would be absurd but the point is, there isnt a right or wrong interpretation of a holy book. Killing does not contradict 'religion' its inherent in its history.

What are you blathering on about? If Muslim terrorists conduct an attack, they are doing it on their interpretation of what Islam allows.

You don't get to say that they're non-Muslim. Particularly as perhaps the majority of Muslims would disagree with you.
