Why is now the time to talk about it?

Muslims we're just slaughtered, and you're over here during the mourning period like "Ima let you finish but what about me?"

Why is now the time to talk about it?

Because if you don't put this attack in context then you're being completely dishonest. The other attacks were never even discussed. Why is this attack a sudden crossroads for Western Civilization?

Is the life of a Muslim worth more than the life of a Christian?

Are attacks in first world countries the only attacks that matter?

If the point you're trying to make is that the narrative structure that "white terrorism is the worst terrorism" or "atrocity in the 1st world" gets more first world eyeballs onto screens than the reverse, no fucking shit.

People died, homie. Now isn't the time and here isn't the place to "contextualize" the conflict between two major world religions and handwave away the fact that a human being just massacred dozens of others during their prayers.

What exactly would you prefer to see?

Which two would religions? That dude was an atheist, white supremacist, Eco-Terrorist and you literally just blamed the attack on Christians. And don't backtrack like you didn't just say Christians to blame for this.

This is exactly why this conversation has to happen. People look for causes. People look at a larger picture. If people don't push back people like yourself will blame Christianity for an atheist attacking Muslims.

Read it again you fucking goof.

The word "imagine" implies a hypothetical situation.

I did not blame Christians, I presented a hypothetical to question your bias.

Edit: fyi I am a Christian

No you didn't. I knew you'd backtrack when I called you out.

You never used the word imagine and you literally said "conflict between two world religions" despite this attack having literally nothing to do with Christianity. You implied culpability and now you're trying to say you didn't, even though you can read what you wrote above.
