I guess the truly terrible thing this reveals is that one religion was able to motivate people to attack a different religion for their difference in beliefs, just like in Christchurch.

It's sad people where attacked, and its sad that this attack was clearly motivated by religion. But no more so than other attacks motivated by bigotry or delusions of grandeur.

I'd agree that attacks that target gay clubs are equally reprehensible. Any attack that targets a specific group of people, particularly a minority group falls into this category.
I was responding to a post that said this said this was no different than a random shooting at a mall. It was very different. These events targeted a religious monitory.
