Radical Religious Terrorist targets Gays in Orlando, 50 dead 50 wounded

So many memes so little time with this the latest and now America’s largest mass shooting in Orlando, Florida – God and AR15s are Great.

1. This act is President Obama’s fault for refusing to call this what it is, Radical Religious Terrorism and he should step down say Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. Hmmm… VP?
2. Muslims must apologize for what bad Muslims do unlike everyone else.
3. Mateen’s local Inman says he was a Donald Trump fan.
4. The same gun model with high capacity magazines was used in San Bernadino, Sandy Hook, Aurora and so on
5. We now not only need to keep new Muslims out but throw out those already here.
6.  We need to flatten, carpet bomb and perhaps nuke Syria and Iraq.
7. This rush to neo fascism caused by Muslims is world wide.
8. Will Trump now be able to bring Gays and Liberals into his ugly fold?
9. While almost 100 Americans have been killed by Muslims since 911, 200,000 Americans have been killed by fellow non Muslim Americans.
10. Radical Religious terrorist acts like Orlando go on everyday throughout the Middle East most all of which is against other Muslims.
11. Islam is an intolerant violent sexist religion and they need to change.

It is that last one that that is the crux of the matter. It is hard if not impossible to get most Americans to suppress their gut and think much of anything out in a reasonable manner, especially hard for them to understand that the louder we shout the more they dig in and recruit. How does one explain that to those who believe thinking things out is elitist socialism?

Islam is different because it is as much cultural and political as it is religious, a minority of Christians get down on their knees for a few minutes a week, Muslims get down on their knees seven times a day. Christians at one time gave up meat on Fridays, Muslims give up all food from dawn to dusk for 30 days straight. How many Christians believe so strongly that they will blow them selves up for God? A dozen? Compared to millions of Muslims. Muslims are happy to live in theocracies where God decides things. And not only are their 1.6 billion of them, Islam is also the fastest growing religion and expected to top Christianity in the next generation.

So how to get that through to the gut people? You have to bring things down to their level, just ask them to change or give up their religion and see what they say. Seems reasonable? But that does not work, that is called empathy, and Republicans do not have that gene in their NRA.  Oops DNA.
