A suspected Islamic terrorist opened fire at a gay nightclub in Florida, killing 50 people and wounding another 53 before he was killed by police. While authorities continue to investigate to determine whether this man had ties to ISIS, the terror organization has not been quiet in praising the attack. This comes three days after ISIS announced they would attack somewhere in Florida. Today's attack marks the largest act of terrorism on US soil since 9/11.

You need to re-read the other AC and give his statement some serious thought.
Islam is NOT "just a religion". It is a judicial system, a political movement, a philosophy, a way of life. Islam rejected each and every one of the ancient philosophers, and it rejects all other judicial systems. Islam has no room for socialism, capitalism, democracy, or fascism. Islam is sufficient unto itself in all respects. Islam doesn't look outside itself for anything.

You haven't spent a lot of time interacting with multiple people of any particular religion have you? Take any label or classification of people, then go spend real time getting to know a dozen of the people who fall into that category. You'll soon realize that the labeling and classifications are not clarifying the situation (at least in the way that you used them). There are some christians that "look outside of themselves for something", and then there are some christians (from seneca kansas as I recall) that call on the government to execute homosexuals. It's a big complicated world.

All well and good until one of them tries to kill you.
Then none of this applies.
