It's not enough to read the transcript. You really need to view the video to appreciate the depths of Christopher Dickey's world-weary, dismissive, preening political correctness. Asked on today's Morning Joe to comment on Muslim preachers inciting violence from their pulpits, Dickey of The Daily Beast sniffed that the problem is "exaggerated," claimed that the number of violent Muslims is "infinitesimally small" [down even from the "minuscule" number he cited last week], and engaged in the most fraudulent form of moral equivalency, saying that there are also crazy Christian, Jewish and Hindu preachers who incite their congregations.

Guaranteed engine-starter moral equivalency ping to Today show list.
Well maybe when a few more of that “miniscule” number kills a few for more leftists then they might start to get it.
Not holding my breath though.
Did you ever go 5 mph over the speed limit? Then you broke the law. Therefore, you’re just like Charles Manson.
Always oddly the moral equivalency argument presented by an useful idiot! What’s next, bringing it back to Adam & Eve?
Till muslims renounce violence in the name of their allah, they deserve NO respect or understanding!!
Heard a lot of Christian preachers in my time. Some were no doubt screwball charlatans. But never, ever heard any tell their followers to get up and go shoot-up a newspaper office.
Except extreme Christians and Jews don’t blow things up, chop off people’s heads and kill little children or marry and beat 11 year olds.
:: there are also crazy Christian, Jewish and Hindu preachers who incite their congregations. ::
To chris DICKey:
And the evidence of these “incite-ful preachers” causing terrorism and human carnage are...?...waiting...?...I’ll be here all day...?...
Egads man, you invoked Hindu’s? in this?
REALLY?
Yeah, they have a plaything “god” but, including Hindus?
It is to laugh.
Rastafarian’s are known to...
uhhhhhh, wait
Mwaaaaah, dude!
I forgot what i was gonna say.
Of course we all remember the mass murder at McDonald’s staged by Hindu extremists in protest of the consumption of cows, the blowing up of the Brooklyn Museum by Christian extremists outraged by the “Piss Christ” display, and the assault on the White House by Jewish extremists angered by various anti-Israel statements by the Obama administration. Oh, wait . . .
No, Christopher Dickless, even if there are extremism in the non-muslime camp, the non-slimes don't act on it, nor is violence and savagery endemic in those quarters.
But nice try for a moral equivalency argument ...
“Can someone show me the Christians, Buddhist, Jews or even Zoroastrians beheading people and selling little girls into slavery? Thanks in advance!”
‘Nuff said.
When you have so many millions of muslims, 50,000 of them is extremely small, in a way. stupid ass.
There are extremist news outlets, too!
They wouldn’t be saying that if the muzzies would do all of us a favor and chop their heads off on live TV.
Yep!
“An they be choppin’ off heads and such ALL OVER THE PLACE, too........................”
Jheeeeeeze!
Also they don’t figure the actual percentages of the radicals...
If radical islam preachers make up say 1% of all muslim clerics...
What percentage of “radical other” make up their populations?
I guarantee you that it is way way less than 1%, more like .001% of the leaders fo the other worl religions are just as screwball crazy as the saudi funded radical clerics....
So you know, several orders of Magnitude less makes no difference to the maths challenged daily beast.
Very good hypotheticals.
I wonder what the responses were on Morning Joe? Did they nod in agreement?
