But there were a few individuals in the focus group who ended up clashing with the others. One woman argued it’s unfair to blame Islam in particular because people justify acts of terror with various different religions.

The panel lit up several times, and concluded with another woman asking when was the last time a bunch of Christians got together to bomb someplace. video footage caught on tape cellphone camera surveillance raw dash cam air live on tv
