    Can I just check - are you saying that these people deserved to be murdered while practising their religion? Otherwise I'm not sure where you're going with this.

    Those who are using the occasion of religious people being murdered while praying to blame religion for their murders.

    I'm blaming bigotry for their murders. 
    Folk can worship anything they like. That doesn't make them better of worse people than those who worship something else, or nothing at all. 
    Nothing however excuses murder but many ( most ) religions have used the practice of "convert or die" in the past.

    I totally agree re bigotry. The politics of hate. Maybe not the appropriate time to make the point about religion though, given the only religious aspect we know of is the religion of the victims.

    I suspect, but don't know, the killers were NOT Muslim.

    I don’t follow any religion; I just try to be a good person and to treat my fellow people with respect. I resent others punishing people for following their choices.  Very sad. 🤧
