Re: Fix the motivation

"they are no more religious fundamentalists than an IRA bomber who took communion"

That may or may not be true, but they are using their religion as the motivating factor to commit these acts, whereas the IRA bomber was using a nationalistic fervour to convince himself that murdering people was for a greater good. Get rid of religion and patriotism and we'd be a fair way towards stopping attacks on civilians. But we keep calling out their religion as it is a key driver to their acts and also calls out the local religious community to be on the lookout for anyone else who might go down a violent path. Even if we ultimately ignore them as we seem to have done in both Manchester and London with tragic consequences.
