A gunman fired upon thousands of people attending a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip Sunday night, in a brutal attack that is blamed for at least 58 deaths, police say. In the mass shooting and panic that ensued, 515 people were injured. At least one of the dead is an off-duty police officer who was attending the concert.
Editorializing: Interesting how media always emphasize ISLAMIC terrorists, but downplay domestic terrorism as psychologically disturbed individual lone-wolfs.

Show me the Christian army running around killing people of other belief systems simply because they have other belief systems
The year was 1209.
The commander was Arnaud Amalric, the Abbot of Citeaux, acting on behalf of Pope Innocent III.
When asked by his crusader army whom among the captured to kill, he said, "Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius" often translated as "Kill them all. God will know His own." [google.com]"
Your ignorance of history is showing yet again, whippersnapper.

Before mouthing off at GP, you may want to re-read his posts in this thread. He made the claim that current day Islamists act like the Christian Church of 1,000 years ago, but that the Christian Church of today is different.
Then you stumble into the conversation and bring up an example from 1209, supporting the GP's point succinctly, before telling him he's full of it. Nice job.
