A religious person whose religion explicitly forbids homosexuality commits violence against queer people. I too wonder at what the motivation could possibly be 🙄.
Yes, not all religious people are this way. But don’t forget with things like this, it is almost always a relgious and/or far right person. The sentiment with rape of “not all men but always a man” applies here too.
There was that attack by an Arab atheist a while back, in Germany no less. Just saying for the sake of it.
I was curious about his motivation, so I did some reading to find out.
In a video he made some time before the attack, he was very upset about someone stealing a USB stick from his mailbox. He’s former muslim, anti-islam, pro-Israel, and generally right wing, though he called himself a leftist. He admires Alex Jones and Elon Musk. He tried to get close to the AfD while atheist organizations distanced themselves from him due to his extreme views. He tried to explain his motive for the vehicle attack during the trial, but was rambling, incoherent, disconnected.
He was sentenced to life in prison, which seems reasonable to me.
