Orlando shooting

First off I am in prayer for the victims of this senseless tragedy. Again, innocent people died for no reason. Second, I'm disgusted by what is happening already. The left blames guns, the right blames Islamic terrorism. No one is blaming the individual. The world has already seen attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and now you can add Orlando to the list no city wants to be on.

I blame the individual and yes, I blame Islamic terrorism. Both of them are responsible for this. No, guns are not the problem and no, all of Islam is not the not the problem. When you blame all gun owners you are just as bad as those who blame all of Islam. When you blame all of Islam you are just as bad as those who blame all gun owners. 

We as a culture need to take a serious look into many things. How to curb gun violence without restricting innocent peoples right to defend themselves. How to keep America free and welcoming to migrants and refugees without letting people in who plan to kill us. Sure, I'm all for letting in women and children. What I'm not in favor of us letting in people who want to kill us. If you let someone into your house that is obsessed with killing you and your family, you are an idiot-not a good and faithful Christian. 

Fighting ISIS where they live will do nothing. In case our "leaders' can't figure it out, this attack (as did the one in Paris, as did the one in San Bernedino) happened on American soil. Even if ISIS was magically vanquished tomorrow certain people who were already radicalized would continue to plan attacks of great horror.
