This is getting too complicated for me. Moral equivalence is okay, in small doses.
I'm watching Saudi Arabian TV right now.
People practice many forms of deception based upon the painting of intentionally false equivalences here.
If something is very rare in terms of occurrence in Christianity or another religion/ideology but extremely common in Islam, they will try to paint them as the same. It's the old excuse "it's just the extremists", only that they are too dishonest to acknowledge the extreme disparity in terms of numbers, were they to use the same yardstick to measure both. Hundreds upon hundreds of millions of Muslims may believe in something, yet they pretend it is only a handful.
There is also the degree of egregious argument. If huge numbers of Muslims believe in killing those who leave their faith, or support killing gay people, the apologist will immediately point out Christians against gay marriage or the practice of shunning. Again, yet the enormous differences in degrees of severity here, they will try to paint as the same.
Finally, there is the hackneyed temporal displacement excuse by pointing out that Islam is "only" 1400 years old. They have been watching too much star trek and actually think there has been some sort of rift in the time/space continuum or something.
Coyote is not here to examine views. She does not seek the truth. She does not change her opinions as the result of facts. She is her to portray Islam falsely, to lie about what Muslim's believe, to propagandize, to deflect, to obfuscate, and to deceive. She has been doing this for years on more boards than this one, and you can pretty much guarantee that nothing in this well-established pattern will ever change.
