I am glad you find the death of Christians at the hands of mohammedans amusing.

Perhaps you would like some popcorn?

Maybe place a few side bets on how many were beheaded and how many hacked to death and how many of them were females?

And I’m sure that you frothing in manufactured outrage at me like that is really helping to solve the situation as well. But that’s OK. As long as it makes you feel better.

I am not "frothing in manufactured outrage". I am pointing out that you are being a jerk at best.

People are dead. Murdered. Some of them burned alive.

And you think it is just so funny.

That is quite sad.

Perhaps you would like to examine you soul to figure out why it is so hardened. Perhaps you are a mohammedan? I have noticed they really enjoy a good chuckle at the deaths of the innocent.
