retrocop - // Two different News links stating the multiple murderer was a convert to Islam. There are loads more. //
Being a convert to Islam makes him a Muslim, it does not make him a Jihadist.
As I said, my argument is not that TTT may be proved right in his assumption that this man was a Jihadist, merely that it is wrong to make an assumption based on bext to no evidence, and that absence of evidence is clear in the link that TTT attached.
// Oh dear Andy-Hughes. We all owe you an apology. //
I don't believe you do, but I'll take it anyway.
// How wrong is it to make obvious assumptions to prove the killer was of an Islamic persuasion in Paris. //
It's wrong because 'obvious assumptions' and proof are two separate entities, and you can;t use one to provide the other.
// Who was wrong? //
TTT and anyone else who jumped to prejudiced conclusions based on no evidence.
As I said, that kind of prejudicial thinking, based on nothing more than a personal antipathy towards an entire faith structure, is exactly the same thought process that makes Jihadists act as they do.
It's not big or clever to be a bigot.
