I can't wrap my head around that... That is Hitlerian geocidal levels of hate.
I used to go to prayer meetings. They are pretty cool...If you have a problem or want something to happen you write it down on a piece of paper and the pastor mentions it from the pulpit. When I lived in Orlando I had a friend, a Puerto Rican physician, who was one of the most spiritual and compassionate people in the world. He was already overworked and getting on in years but he wanted to open a free clinic to serve the uninsured. I asked the pastor to pray for them.
I don't know how much we can infer from these acts...I have met more than a few racists , homophobes, and anti-semites in my life. There was no love lost for the targets of their hate but none of them, well maybe literally a couple, wanted to kill them.
Love is the answer. I refuse to hate.
