    "...Xians would certainly lynch you for the above acts"

    Are "Xians" people who follow someone called "X"?

    Was this "X" the one who was called the prince of peace, and a healer? The one who said to love your enemies?

    How reasonable is it to ascribe responsibility to "Xians" for lynchings or other crimes by people who are mis-labelled as "X's" followers but who don't in reality try to follow any of his teachings?

    Contrast "X" with religious figure "Y", who did advocate violence, committed violent acts himself, and bought, sold, captured, and owned slaves.
