It's been happening for years. Shiite vs Sunni vs Shia.

Still not an excuse, how can be going to heaven if they are killing each other.

I did not say nor infer it was an excuse.

As you seem to think it is what the world is coming to now I thought you should be aware it has been happening for years and is nothing new. (by years I mean hundreds!).

Sunni Islam and Shia Islam are the two major denominations of Islam. Their division traces back to a Sunni–Shia schism following the death of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in the year 632. A dispute over succession to Muhammad as a caliph of the Islamic community spread across various parts of the world, which led to the Battle of Jamal and Battle of Siffin. The dispute intensified greatly after the Battle of Karbala, in which Hussein ibn Ali and his household were killed by the ruling Umayyad Caliph Yazid I, and the outcry for revenge divided the early Islamic community.

Islam is such a peaceful religion.

I meant in general its not an excuse, didn't mean you said it was

In general it has still been happening for years so not reflective of "what the world is coming to".

There are other things happening where I would agree with that statement though.

Update.

Police say one person is being treated as a suspect in a deadly shooting at a mosque in Quebec City, Canada.

Sunday's attack on the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre left six people dead, five people in a critical condition and 12 others injured.

Police detained two men following the shooting, but said one of them was being treated as a witness.

One man was arrested at the scene and a second man held after he called 911, police said.

One suspect, reportedly a French-Canadian university student, is expected to appear in a Quebec City courtroom on Monday afternoon.

He had no police record before the incident, authorities said.

A man of Moroccan descent who was also arrested is now being considered a witness, law enforcement sources have told local media.

Police initially arrested two men but later said just one, Alexandre Bissonnette, remained a suspect.

Still not too clear what his motivation was though. Almost certainly terrorism.

Looks like a alt-right nutjob: https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/new...+Article+Links

Probably nothing to do with the alt-right. Probably just mentally ill......

I think if you end up killing loads of people there has to be something wrong with you but we'll see, they'll do assessments. Dylan Roof wasn't classed as insane and nor was Thomas Mair. Some others were though.

I was being facetious but you could be right
