A hate crime? A hate crime is when someone beats a gay guy up. When someone bombs a crowded event, it should be considered terrorism. Let’s not call an apple an orange.

Jacquemar,

Evangelicals are not always the same as the fundamendalists. Evangelicals are not always as hardened or as fanatically literalist as the fundamendalists. Evangelicals often just want to share faith and Scripture. They are not all bad or fanatical. Fundamendalists are often the more hardened, loonier, scarier and more fanatical of the two who accept everything as literal when it is not. It is often symbolism, metaphor, parable, comparison, etc. I prefer for the Danish police or government to have its investigation and then tell the media what it found and who was behind this.

This topic or story may not have been researched enough if it turns out it was just large-sized fireworks being lit and tossed instead of bombs. Bombs tend to leave pits and craters if big enough and fireworks just make whooshing or popping noise and a showers of sparking light. But fireworks can cause blindness and physical injury if one is too close.

I bet every culprit was an Evangelical Christian.

It is a sad day when something like this happens in a country that is so caring and good. I have to wonder if the person(s) were from Denmark or someplace else.

I know there can be a bad apple anyplace, I am just sorry it had to happen in Denmark.

I read a comment from a Copenhagen resident that these were fireworks like Roman candles and not actual bombs.

We have to remember that Christian love can be like Bin Laden love

If we all agreed to become Muslims, he’d love us

same for Dobson, and all the other so called Christians who make a mockery of the so called love of God.

Because they are absolutists, see things only in black and white. the same mentality that gave the world most of the tyrannts in history.

Interesting that you can’t find the mans name published anywhere.

I take it that this place didn’t have adequate security measures?

I notice that at Gay Pride Festivals here in Los Angeles, CA, most of the check points are done by volunteers so that CSW (Christopher Street West) can pocket all the festival money and pay the performers who are trying to revive their sagging careers.

I will repeat myself: we can expect to see this sort of thing rear its dirty head in this country Pride events as well as at other gay events. The Christian Taliban has truly arrived. People like Dr. Brown and Dobson of Focus on the Family will be the not so silent advocators of this kind of violence in spite of their words to the contrary. We will find ourselves faced with our own version of 9/11. Kumbaya? BS!
