No it's not moral equivalence. You really should look up the definition before you toss such phrases around.

Not once in that quote do I say that the terrorists and the bad folks in Christianity are the same. I say that Christians haven't snuffed out all the bad Christians; that's a rather obvious point. I never equated the morality of the 9-11 hijackers and suicide bombers with the "bad guys" in CHristianity. Once you learn to read in context instead of attempting to twist words to make your silly point you will understand.

My neighbor hasn't painted his car. Neither have I painted mine. No moral equivalence there. Sorry, you lose.
