Police say the explosion at Mindanao State University gymnasium in Marawi could be revenge by pro-Islamic State militants
Three people were killed and nine wounded when an explosion ripped through a university gymnasium during Catholic mass in the southern Philippines.
The authorities are investigating the blast at Mindanao State University in Marawi on Sunday, the regional police director, Brig Gen Allan Nobleza, told reporters.
No kids were injured right?
One of the most common responses to “we need to fix America’s gun laws to stop arming domestic terrorists” is “they’d just use bombs or cars or something else”.
Well here is a bomb. It did less damage than a child with an AR-15.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

Religion of peace
There are Buddhist sects that commit terrorism. It’s not specific to religion. Stick humans in there and even a religion that talks of pacifism will gain violent extremists.
I don’t know why people think a good argument for religion is that humans are shitty without it or with it.
It’s not an argument for religion. It’s an argument to not unfairly single out a religion for something they’re all universally susceptible towards.
It’s very popular to use your talking points just for Islam. It doesn’t sounds like you’re talking about religion generally as a result.
