text: It DOESN'T MATTER what the excuse they use, when groups coalesce to target other groups for murder, rape and robbery, the real reason is always either fear (of loss of status, of loss of territory, of loss of power or of the unknown) or envy (faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money). The Muslim attacks on Muslim villages in Algeria back in the 90s didn't get as much press as the Muslim attacks in Afghanistan more recently, but they were very similar. Groups of Muslim men attacked villages, raped and kidnapped the young women, stole the treasures and claimed it was because of religious impurity. Tim McVeigh and Dylan Roof were victims of the same kind of radicalization that the Jihadists are using and went forward with exactly the same kind of blank-faced, mindless, mechanical ferocity to protect what they thought was under attack from what they had been taught was the enemy. Christians didn't raise a huge outcry because they hadn't taken part in that radicalization.
