We can arbitrarily declare that only Christians can properly be considered creationist, but that's a tacit admission that we have no intention of having or allowing objectivity in the debate.

Not only Christians have a reverence for life. But clearly, Islamists do not. There's a difference here, though it might not be politically correct to draw attention to it.

Creation is a loving act. Beheading people is not. You cannot hide behind an argument of "moral equivalency," or of groundless personal bias here; i.e., my supposed lack of "objectivity." The distinctions I draw are perfectly "objective." Just open your eyes and look at what's going on. Then if you report back and say there's no difference among religious believers, I'd have to conclude that you are the one who is biased, who lacks objectivity.

"Moral equivalency" is based on entirely subjective arguments. That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid. Show me a definition of "creationism" from a standard reference that backs up your argument.
