Yeah, because shame works so well to deter drug and alcohol abuse, obesity, promiscuity, and other social pathologies. Bigotry is rooted in fear. It's also universal - the line between good and evil runs through the middle of every human heart.
The person who carried out the mosque attack - like almost all of these attackers - was a miserable loser. How do you shame someone out of being a miserable loser?
