So, I guess we can assume form this that if a Muslim kills a non-muslim (for whatever reason) it is because some other Muslims 'told' him to do it? And you would back me up if, before any investigation had even been started, I made claims that the killer did so because he was influenced by other people? Did I get that right? Or does that only count when it is supposedly the Republicans doing the 'influencing'? I am continually amazed at how seemingly intelligent people cannot see the hypocrisy in their own statements.
