“Reducing opportunity” is the same argument used to insinuate that a woman’s choice of Friday night outfit is a factor when she gets raped. You simply can’t advocate simplistic cause and effect arguments in situations where humans are involved. We are moral beings; we don’t operate from instinct, we have moral understanding of one kind or another and we make moral choices.

If a man rapes a woman, that is entirely due to his disregard for what society considers morally abhorrent; likewise if a man guns down a lot of Muslims.

* Fun fact, Christianity also originated in the Middle East, as did Judaism for that matter.
There are MANY cases where Muslims kill other Muslims, simply for being the wrong "type" of Muslim. There are MANY other attacks on Mosques(and Churches) by ..... Muslims. And that is before you get into the attacks of various kinds on non-Muslims for being non-Muslim by ..... Muslims.
