[QUOTE="YukonGlocker, post: 2818916, member: 425"] radical christian terrorists attacking abortion receivers, practitioners, and facilities with violence isn't anything new...there's a rich history of it, including numerous assaults, batteries, murders, and arsons. in most of these cases, the hate and violence stemed directly from these people's christian ideologies (not necessarily *your* christian ideology). these christian extremists don't represent the vast majority of christians, just as muslim extremists don't represent the vast majority of muslims. the difference is how extremists (and moderates) that identify with your ideology are talked about in comparison to extremists (and moderates) who identify with other ideologies are talked about. the overlap of personal identity with group identity is important, and it constrains the narratives that attempt to explain violence within and outside our groups. a shamefully brief summary: when the extremist identifies with our own group, it's mostly (or completely) the extremist's fault; however, when the extremist identifies with a different group, it's mostly (or completely) the group's fault. this is why we can't have nice things.
