'Do only Muslims commit crimes?'

Advertisements [?]

Madam, – Two tragic shootings in the United States were reported in the same article (World News, November 6th). One concerned the shooting of people at a military base in Texas; the other at an office building in Florida. Updates on these stories point out that the suspect in the Texas incident was a Muslim. The other suspect’s religion is not mentioned. It never seems to be reported that a Christian committed an act of violence. Are we to assume that only Muslims commit crimes? – Yours, etc,

NICOLAS JOHNSON,

Iveagh Gardens,
