      This article makes a convincing case that I (and others) were wrong to portray the Pulse massacre as being motivated by homophobia:https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/noor-salman-pulse-massacre-wrong_us_5ac29ebae4b04646b6454dc2 …

      If a mass-murderer says they are motivated by Islamism or any other ideology, we should probably consider that they are.

      Nope -- mass murderers are often troubled individuals who glom on to ideology to justify pre-existing violent urges. Nikolas Cruz is example.

          The guy was an idiot, he pledged alliance to ISIS & Al-Qaeda but for many years both groups have been killing each other in Syria.

          That doesn't invalidate that their motivation can sincerely come from the ideology they've indoctrinated themselves into.

          Breivik was without doubt a troubled individual who assumed an ideology that allowed him to live out his supremacy fantasies. That doesn't mean he didn't sincerely believe in his ideology.

          That's one of the most idiotic justifications of your own biases I've ever heard. Spoken like a <<fill in your gender identification HERE>> who has been only a voyeur their entire life. Laughable.

          Not aware he had any- could this be an allusion to the white supremacy hoax? That was revealed as 4chan prank within 24hrs.

          This isn't a point though. I have pre-existing urges to lose weight. I glommed on to a particular diet to lose that weight because it fit onto my urges well. I was still motivated to lose the weight because of the particular aspects of that diet.
