At least only the suspect is dead. Shootings really do happen way too often, but at least they didn't end up like Virginia Tech.

America needs better mental health services if they expect guns to be used responsibly.
Though to the best of my knowledge, the attacker used his car as a weapon, and then attacked with a machete - didn't have a gun. It was a policeman who shot, killing the suspect.

It is exactly what Mahogany said. The shots the students heard were from the police officer, who shot him within the minute he arrived.
Well he certainly didn't help with that image problem he was talking about. Jeez.
neither of you know if the attack was religiously motivated.

“I can’t take it anymore. America! Stop interfering with other countries, especially the Muslim Ummah. We are not weak. We are not weak, remember that.”
This suggests a nationalistic motive more than it suggests religious dogmatism. A distinction that I'm sure most people wouldn't even think of these days, when all you read about is ISLAM ISLAM ISLAM, plastered all over the news with emotionally charged articles to go with.
I don't know. It might very well be religiously motivated. Maybe we'll never know. Either way, he surely didn't improve his religion's image, because people will associate his crime with islam no matter what his motivation turns out to be in the end.
The problem is with fundamentalism not with the religion itself
Christianity is adapting to the modern times because many of its proponents live in educated and modern countries so know not to do retarded shit
Whereas a lot of Muslims come from shithole countries with no education or social progress so they end up backwards and violent

Are you kidding me, Railey? Did you completely ignore the "Muslim Ummah", which is a very religious term that just means "all Muslims with a common ideology"? And the fact most of the Muslim countries are, guess what, Islamic republics, which adhere to the Islamic law dictated in the Quran? Muslims are the one who plaster religion on every action they commit, not the media.Railey2 wrote:

I've spent some time thinking about what exactly sets a bigoted mindset apart from a more normal, open-minded one. One central difference seems to be, that bigots are way more inclined to use "all-or-nothing"-thinking, they find it harder to form nuanced opinions.Jellyblob56 wrote:
Well, if it's a Muslim, it's a good chance it is. After all, they are told to do so by the fucking Quran. Radical or not, if you support the Quran you're a fucking monster. All of it is hate.Railey2 wrote:

I have no problem with religion, really. Christianity has some fucked up shit too, all religions do. If you've noticed though, Christianity has been conforming to fit current times. Take a look at how most Christians treat LGBT. On the other side you have Islam. I wouldn't say the religion is changing as a whole like Christianity. After all, how can a religion based on killing, deception, etc be turned into something good? A religion of barbarians.
And this is blatantly obvious but of course that doesn't mean each individual is a monster themselves. I just don't see how you can say you're so devout to your religion and then turn around and not follow anything in your holy book. All they do is blindly pray.
I mean, I don't hate Muslims, I really don't. I just think a lot of them are uninformed.

religion war go
As an example, you said: "if you support the Quran you're a fucking monster. All of it is hate."
A quick google search brought this up:
Quran letters: 320015 letters
Quran words: 77439 words
Quran verses: 6236 verses
Quran chapters: 114
Are you implying that there is not a single teaching to be found on these pages that is at least neutral? And the Quran isn't even the only book that is important for Islam, it's just the most important one.
Since most bigots seem to think in black and white, they often assume that if you are not black, you must automatically be white. If you felt the urge to call me an apologist just for what I've written above, maybe it's time to do some soul-searching? Anyway, to answer your questions..
The most important characteristic for modern, progressive Christians, is intellectual laziness concerning their own religion. The way Islam could become something good is by throwing the Quran out, just like most "progressive" Christians threw the bible out. Narrow the holy text down to a couple nice quotes and forget about the rest. By doing that, I'm sure you can cherry-pick a version of Islam into existence that is practically identically to modern Christianity. And in fact, we can see that happening in many parts of the world, where the youngest generation of Muslims is far more accepting and tolerant than the older generations.
Christianity did it, Islam can do it too. I'd rather have them both disappear forever, though.
