(CNN)Whether you believe that religious violence is fueled by faith or is a symptom of larger factors -- political instability, poverty, cultural chaos -- one thing seems clear: Last week was hellish for religion.

A routine week in the assault on Western Civilization.
Including the headline of this article.

I see, it's not Islam that is responsible for beheading the "Egyptian citizens", it's "religion". Therefore, it's the fault of Christians and Jews, (and I suppose Buddhists, Taoists, and Warmists, too) that some "citizens of Libya" beheaded them.
It's simply not possible to describe the disgust I have for Obama, CNN, and the liberal nannies who think I will fall for this.

Bullstalin.
The attacks were all muslim terrorist attacks on innocent (and often kidnapped) individuals.
The killing at the apartment was not religiously based (we are told that atheists have no religion). And while the murderer was politically charged, he made no political announcement regarding his attack. Speculation is that it was an angry neighbor dispute about parking and other residential matters. But CAIR blew this issue up on the twitterverse so it is included to say “see muslims are victims too, this isn’t just an example of muslims gone wrong around the world!”

CNN is Time-Lies-Warner. I avoid the parent of the beast.

I guess maybe they consider atheism a religion now, since the guy who shot his Muslim neighbors over a parking space was a militant atheist who hated Christianity.

This is just more moral equivalancy from the brain dead media. It's reminiscent of Leslie Nelson standing in front of an exploding fireworks store ensure by-standers "Nothing to see here". All of the attacks mentioned in the article, w/ the exception of a single lunatic atheist, are being perpetrated by muslims against non-muslims.
I have no empathy for athiests but I don't think they are recruiting fellow athiests to wage unrelenting war against religionists, at least in a physical sense.
Muslims, on the other hand, are in fact recruiting other muslims to wage unrelenting war against unbeleivers and have been doing so for decades.
For the brain dead media to purposely ignore what everybody knows explains why their credibility is below zero; even before Brian Williams.

They left out Monday... Liberal Fed activist Judge usurped State rights of marriage between a woman and a man. Nadless governor Bentley does not back up State Supreme Justice Roy Moore.

From James 1:27
Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. I didn't see even a hint of "murder your enemies" in that.

Here's another one from the old testament Micah 6:8 :
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
