Riiiiight. He explicitly calls out a few religion. It was a pissing contest post, and it's one I'm agreeing with.

No, I'm not blaming religions. Religions are immensely flexible and adaptable. The Christianity of today is barely recognisable from the Christianity of even a few hundred years ago, there are a myriad different sects and schisms all with different interpretations the support a wide host of different things. The same applies to Islam. Religious beliefs and traditions are almost always products of their time and circumstance, and are used as post hoc justifications at best for the vast majority of actions. There are other motivating factors at fault here, if we could address those then religion would have a negligble impact.

God it's lovely to see some actual, mature intelligence on the internet for once...

Wanna know what's funny about this post?

It's ironically true. Worse still, the burn bit is the funniest because the only reason they are being pissy about it is because it states that burning can only be done by God. So they're basically insulting God.

Which by the way, doesn't exist and was probally someone's story that they wrote down while tripping on magic mushrooms.

No dude, muslims and muslim leaders have been condemning isis for a long time, this isn't the first thing ever. Just because you don't hear about it (or care to hear about it) doesn't mean there isn't condemnation for those previous acts too.
