Quoting Ruben Safir (ruben-at-mrbrklyn.com):

Remind me, which Muslim clergymen endorse ISIS blowing up cathedrals?
Oh, wait. None.
McVeigh indeed did not cite his Catholic 'core beliefs' (which he said he still had) in explaining his and Nichols's and the Fortiers' demolishing of the Murrah Federal Building. Instead, he called it revenge for Waco and Ruby Ridge. However, if we're making a comparison on those grounds, it would require interviewing the Cairo bomber to ask what _his_ beef is. Maybe his issues are essentially geopolitical like bin Laden's were. Or maybe just the usual case of too much testosterone and too little thinking.
But the more important point is that attributing his viewpoint and murderous intent to Musiims generally makes no more sense than attributing McVeigh's viewpoint and murderous intent to every other Midwestern caucasian loser.
But go ahead and keep being a loudmouthed idiot in public: I'll keep mocking you. I can do this for years. I'm spoiled for material.
And, Ruben? For the love of God, learn to trim quoted material you aren't commenting on. It's called a keyboard. Learn to use it.
