Of course there are millions of other factors involved so the point is obviously bigoted noise. Right?
Depends what you call crazy stuff and depends what you call a Muslim. A few people on here think that the only killings that matter are the ones via bombs and if they were radicalized by isis they are Muslim. And therefore snuffle demands that an imam thet he doesn't know, who for all anyone knows speaks against this stuff all the time, is awful because he didn't do enough.

Murder happens all the time, the sum of all the murders in Canada in 2017 I'm sure that is a higher number than these highly publicized bombings. And the vast majority of the murdering will be done by none muslims. And that's just little Canada. Not important to this truck full Good fellas with pitchforks who want to rid the town of witches.

There's problems everywhere, it just makes snuffle et al feel better about themselves to blame on a different group.

Which is very unconstructive. It solves nothing. Nobody asks, what are the conditions that allow for radicalized kids in the first place. For example what is making these recruits feel marginalized in the first place can anything be done to reduce that? Just blaming and demanding a seemingly innocent imam for not denouncing enough is just very simple.
