Typically what the bigots do is use this as a launching point to spew their invective about the religion as a whole. We've seen it here unfortunately whenever there are these horrible events.
They can't wait to spread their hate filled agenda and the garbage ISIS types are their opening.
And as MarchHare posted this has real consequences for innocent people who have to live in fear of potential reprisal. It's not just words on an internet forum... it's unfortunately defenceless people who bear the brunt.
So thinking it was ISIS immediately after in this case is not the issue. It's those that conflate it with all the members in the religion. Scumbag cowards like to do this.
