One assigns blame when we are trying to punish someone. One cannot "punish" an abstract concept like a religions.

However, it's also stupid to deny that Islam was a contributing factor in this shooting.

Religion is often a contributing to these kind of events. And some religions lend themselves to violence more than others.
