      saying that attacks with these characteristics have "nothing to do with religion" are disingenuous and help no one.

      Do US mass-shooting have to do with US culture? Sure. But in a complex way that you can't caricature to 300 million. Same.

          Places have their own histories. Columbia/FARC? Mexico gang wars? South America's history of mass murderous coups? etc.

          There is no shortage of reform efforts; and large non-violent movements. Western role has been overwhelmingly negative.
