I just watched some CNN interviews the savages "friends". Absolutely unrepentant and it's the British governments fault that caused them to butcher.

There is another CNN interview that I saw tonight that is even more damning but can't find it on CNN or the net.
The above videos prove without a shadow of a doubt that there is no spiritual "religious" aspect to these crazies. It's simply boils down to politics. As such, any religion that moves from it's spiritual foundation to the political then should not have even the slightest protection under "freedom of religion". As a secular society, we need to re-establish, by force of law if need be that freedom of religion only applies to spiritual practice, not political or social dominance.
Right along with the crazies we have the political left of our society preaching the narrative of "victimhood" for political gain. It's bad enough containing the hatred spread through misuse of religion, the left give political and ideological cover as well. "Those people hate you, vote for us". I'm not sure if it's moral relativity for political gain or simply mind numbing shortsightedness for the unintended consequences of the "victimhood" mantra.
Of course, some of the right also is to blame. Instead of focusing and isolating the politics of Islam (or any religion), they lash out at the general Muslim population which in large part, want nothing to do with this other then to practice the spiritual aspect of their religion. They give the left an all too easy target to sell vicitmhood politics.
Last but not least, those vote sucking, power blinded flotsam, also know as politicians, they will suck up to anything and say anything if they think there are votes or donations involved.
