Scumbag Christian fundamentalists picket funerals. Isis cuts the heads off of journalists and executes hundreds of people on video.

Not the same thing at all.

And you are the one who picked the specific behavioral examples.

It needs to be acceptable to excoriate groups like ISIS without quickly throwing in some reference to the ignorance and bigotry of some Christian groups.

We shouldn't have to prove we're not Islamophobes like many Christian conservatives every time we condemn actions by Islamic extremists.

It's ridiculous.

So I think we might be looking at a gradient of "badness" here, really...

While they aren't as vicious as ISIS, they do create havoc, killing and maiming anyone they want to.

Every year I read about or see on the news the so-called "Lone Wolves" who murder people who aren't the same religion, aren't the same political party, aren't the same color skin.

And if Rick Perry got what he wants, those who don't believe like he does would be stoned to death.

Really though, putting them up next to the likes of ISIS actually makes these yahoos look almost decent, by the comparison. If you want to take on the whackadoodles and scary fundies here in the US, it might be better to leave ISIS out of the discussion - our nuts can stand on their own just fine.

But to simply acknowledge that we do have vicious terrorists motivated by their faith, here in the US and they are usually not Jew or Muslim, they are Christian.

Remember the "Beltway Shooter?"
The media, (conservative especially,) made sure to mention just about every time when they describe them, the fact they were Muslim.
Even though they were not using their faith as an excuse for the shootings, they were trying to extort money from the DC government.

Yet Dr Tiller's murderer, hardly ever do they even MENTION that this guy is a fundamentalist violent "Christian."

by saying they'll pray for him. Yeah, we all know how much good that will do.

I'd like to know how we practice atheism, in any case.

but are restrained by American laws. Otherwise they'd be doing the same thing they were doing at the turn of the 20th century and beyond.
Perverting a peaceful religion to mask their hatred and inability to live with others in a civil manner is their common trait.

eom

But at least they don't behead people.
