Disagree completely with the author. The attack was based on religion plain and simple it’s a twisted view by ideological (the body of doctrine, myth, belief, etc., that guides an individual, social movement, institution, class, or large group) idiots.
Tolerant vs Intolerant? That’s what how the author breaks it down? Sad way of rationalizing it.
Did you read the entire piece?
Islam is not a religon, it is a cult.
You didn’t read the article carefully. The author simply is being specific. He’s saying that the attack was in the name of ISLAM, not just “religion,” which, as he wrote, “is a category, not a creed.”
He likened the situation to struggling with Nazism. You wouldn’t say that problem is “ideology” without naming the true culprit.
It’s also a very deep piece that points out the fallacy of the religious/secular duality.
