I often think with these people, if it wasn't religion they would find another justification to slaughter their fellow humans.

To me, the philosophy is pretty simple - nobody has the right to take somebody else's life.
There are cases where it may be necessary (self defence, to prevent greater carnage) but fundamentally it is wrong and the reason I don't agree with the death penalty.

Obviously this is an absolute outrage, a horrible hate-fuelled crime but you're right to highlight the disparity with which the media covers antisemitic violence compared with the daily butchery of innocents in Gaza.

Telling that the initial comments from the Aussie PM are to call for greater gun control. When this shit happens in the States, the reaction is the polar opposite.
