I do so consider it so, Ian, as being a part of that would-be humane but actually ultimately destructive idealism so characteristic of so much left-wing thinking, that all causes, and all actions, are of equal validity so long as they are taken in the right idealistic spirit: of course you should "differentiate between religions"; they are all nonsense, but some are more harmless sorts of nonsense than others; and you had better learn to "differentiate" as to which, if you don't want yourself or your children or your grandchildren carried off in the approaching -- I'd say "holocuast" if the word hadn't been pre-empted to a specialist usage; but you will, I take it, get my point. So start differentiating right now if you know what's good for you.

If you really cannot see the distinction between the windy utterances and the symbolic but non-destructive to any particular individual, other than emotionally, of Westboro on the one hand; and the "let's kill all the bastards" approach of Boko Haram, whose leader & spokesman just this last week publicly & emphatically proclaimed the pleasure and delight he took in killing the enemies of Allah, then I can only put down such gross & grievous lacunæ in your thinking to an over-indulgence in that so satisfying to its possessors of the sort of pious self-righteousness so typical of the left. Which is what Amis considered to be what distinguished them from human beings.
