GF, as I said before no one thinks you support this behavior but the moral equivalency argument is the last vestige of the hopeless. How some regional events in our history are relevant is beyond me and others. What is the point? Because some rednecks and southern racists treated blacks in an awful way this somehow expiates for the stoning and other murders committed in the name of Islam? Are we supposed to feel some guilt about this history? I wasn't there, I never lynched anybody, neither I am sure did any of the others on this forum. The worst I have done is become nervous and cross the street when a group of young, black teens dressed like gangbangers were coming in the opposite direction.....oh, but wait a second, Jesse Jackson said exactly the same thing.

When you try to use the moral equivalency argument it can only be assumed that your point is a) we should just sit down and shut up about these Islam-inspired behaviors or b) it somehow excuses their behavior. Neither is reasonable or true. If not these, then what exactly is your point and how is it relevant to the topic? I suspect it isn't but maybe you can help me understand......
