David Mathews, thank you for providing a perfect example of the willful ignorance, and PC induced self hatred in which so many westerners currently wallow. In those three steaming piles of logical fallacy which constitute your above posts, you managed, without confronting a single one of Spencer’s assertions, to air a diverse laundry list of historical events which you seem to believe show the wickedness of some vaguely connected western culture, almost all of which involved secular nationalist players, and none of which took place any more recently than six decades ago, in an incredibly convoluted attempt at forming some weak moral equivalence for the atrocities of Islamic extremists that anyone with a television or an internet connection can witness on a daily basis.
Then you wave some obscure old testament texts to somehow crow to us that “Christianity and Judaism are just as violent as Islam.” That argument might start to get the attention of agnostics like me when I see Christian or Jewish militias attacking night clubs, pizza parlors, and crowded skyscrapers on a daily basis, and then invoking Deuteronomy as justification. Until then, it is worth about as much as a Zimbabwean dollar to me. I think the icing on the cake, however, is when you say “Robert Spencer is the Western equivalent of Osama Bin Laden, leading Christians on a jihad against the world’s Muslims.” Really? How many skyscrapers has Mr. Spencer ordered terrorists to fly passenger packed planes into? How many kidnapped journalists has Mr. Spencer ordered beheaded? Where are all the Christian militias and terrorists carrying out his marching orders and implementing this fantasy genocide against Muslims that you assert? Bravo sir, I believe your mindless tripe should be read as widely as possible, in order to show the dangers to logic and a basic sentient sense of self preservation, caused by a religious belief in Political Correctness and the Equality of All Belief Systems and Cultures.
