The evening after the massacre at Orlando's Pulse nightclub, a California pastor took the opportunity to preach that "God said: When you find a sodomite, put them to death.'" A video of the sermon was uploaded by the church, then deleted "for violating YouTube's policy on hate speech." A copy of the video uploaded by someone else, describing the sermon as "despicable," was allowed to remain.

how often do you hear suicide bombers described in absolute terms of evil or stupidity rather than as human beings who started off with the same promise and potential as everyone else
Usually I hear suicide bombers described by people from the countries that are bombing that of the suiciders, yet the describers throw up their hands and say we just don't know why these people hate us. They sometimes go on to say something about Coca-Cola or Wal-Mart or scantily clad women or freedom, but they only definitive thing is "we just don't know." It apparently has nothing to do with the bombings, wars, and drone strikes Western governments are carrying on in the middle east. The suicidal Japanese fighters were the same way - noone could explain it, it was probably just that they aren't like us.
