WSJ Planned Parenthood Attack

WSJ Planned Parenthood attack continues without insight on the motives of the murderer of 3 people amongst which we have a policeman.
People responding to this were interesting. Some, without any information, classified the attacker as a "right wing Christian extremist" Another complains that Lewis has not been condemned enough, as he would have been had he been Muslim (so far his religion has not been published, but he probably is Christian). A third complaint was about policeman killing civilians.
The play between PC and Racism is fascinating.  Much more interesting than the WSJ article that simple tells us what is known so far. All of the responses (except mine, of course) were biased and fairly short sighted.
The Muslim could not distinguish between a murderer immediately ostracized and denounced by his society, whose motives may be religious, and hence religious leaders immediately denounced the act, and terrorists who act on a mixture of religious and political motives and are cherished by a good portion of their society.  No one is distributing sweets to children to celebrate the murder of either the policeman or the bystanders, or the injuries to passers by. No one is making speeches celebrating the heroism of this murderer. Yet a moderate Muslim, clearly opposed to ISIS and Al Qaeda, cannot distinguish the case from the terrorist attack in France.
The atheist, assumes motives not in evidence to attack Christian Fundamentalism and prove the superiority of unbelief. By the by he attacks Christian beliefs as motivating the attack through an atmosphere of hatred towards those advocating abortion rights.
The most incomprehensible one compares our concentration on a 5 or 6 hour firefight with our lack of interest in the murder of a child by a black in Chicago.  Incomprehensible because the latter is a daily occurrence ignored by black advocates who actually attack those that refer to this consistent murder pattern of black on black and attack them as trying to change the conversation from the important one of white policemen murdering blacks.
An interesting set of reading.
