All due respect to Adam, but his understatement is almost a scandal. We’ve posted a lot of incredibly stupid sound bites from MSNBC and other places around here, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a dumber exchange. I don’t know who the guy is making the astoundingly obtuse comparison between Jerry Falwell and a bunch of cold-blooded murderers but, as incandescently stupid as that analogy is, it’s eclipsed by Wagner’s smug, knowing nods as he talks. If I follow her response correctly, she’s saying that we focus on anti-Muslim blasphemy disproportionately because it is so much more “controversial” and “incendiary.”
Well, uh, yes. I guess that’s true. But the reason mockery of Islam is more controversial is because people get killed over it! To compare Falwell’s lawsuit to these murderers isn’t just astoundingly, jaw-droppingly, stupid. Doing so misses just about every important moral, legal and factual distinction that one can miss. But Wagner doesn’t think that’s good enough

It’s a false dichotomy.
‘Muslims believe theirs to be the ONLY true religion, none other’
“Sounds like a few Freepers over on the religion board.”
This was from a poster a couple days ago.
I don’t mind them thinking theirs is the one true religion.
What I do mind is what their religion teaches such as murdering, lying and mutilation.
There is a lot of competition for this title. Narrowing down to just 57 sec clips still leaves many in contention.
Exactly. What kind of true religion is so fragile that you cannot convert from it and you must kill anyone who denies its true?
What, Allah cannot take a bit of criticism or debate?
