The motive behind the massacre is disputed, but it was carried out by militant Islamic believers. It may have been done in retaliation for an alleged crime against a Muslim girl by a Christian man.

Even if that was the reason, the retaliation was not targeted at the man who committed the crime but at Christians because of their association through religion.
