    What are you talking about? Abrahamic religions are all about hate and discrimination. This person was taught to be this way by their community, church, family, etc. This is actually what Christians believe but few are whacko enough to start working on extreme measures. Few will bomb an abortion clinic, for example, but how many nod in satisfaction when reading about it in the news the following day?

      Never forget why they’re called “abrahamic religions” in the first place. The foundation tale is basically one of an abusive relationship: “Sacrifice your son to prove you love me. Ok, just kidding, I just needed to know you’d do it. Love you.”
