do you think left-leaning types would be squealing for the US to review its policies and look for the “root cause” of the hate? (i.e., blame the victim). I think they’d find it much easier to say, “Kill the muthaf\*ckers.” I mean, you never hear such calls when an abortion clinic is bombed.

Is it not religious fanaticism religious fanaticism no matter its origin? Why do some folks have such a hard time wrapping their heads around this concept. Is moral relativism THAT deeply ingrained?

Plz advise!

blah. Sorry about the ambiguous wording in the first paragraph.

I meant to say that you never hear cries from the left for a review of abortion policies when a clinic is blasted by some right wing nutjob. Why does the distance + turban make a diff?
