(15,389 posts)were murdered in a terrorist attack, not "because of a film." The timing of the film seems to have been co-incidental there.
But the other items that you mentioned also apply to a virulent, vicious rabid and growing minority of people here in the US who belong to the religious right.
So are all Americans "uncivilized" because of that minority?
The OP's point was - not an any way to justify the violence - but to note that at least some here at DU (from your response, you could be one) are tarring whole swathes of people in the world with the same brush and that it unfortunately seems to be "acceptable" to many here at DU simply because those people are Muslim, that it would not be tolerated in the same way if we were talking about other groups of people.
She finds that unacceptable. As do I.
But I have noticed several others here at DU who also find it unacceptable, which is why I am still here.
