Tel Aviv murders = Religion.
Murders of GLBTs does not always equal religion. It’s shameful to tag every incident as religion-based, when clearly the Bible says, “You shall NOT commit murder!” A truly God loving person WOULD NOT commit murder; A deranged idiot would. Please quit blaming religion! Let’s start holding the “individual” responsible and quit making religion the scapegoat.
On the other hand, Michel, murders of GLBTs sometimes equals religion, or at least ideas that had their orgin in religious settings.
