MORAL EQUIVALENCE WILL GET YOU NOWHERE

A CNN Opinion piece by Hamid Dabashi on why Maj. Hasan is just like John Wayne Gacy and the Virginia Tech killer, Seung-Hui Cho.

From U.S. Muslims are Americans too:

The same Christianity that produced Saint Francis of Assisi and Mother Theresa also produced children’s crusades and Spanish conquistadors who burned native Americans alive 13 at a time (according to the 16th-century Spanish Dominican priest, Bartolomé de las Casas) in honor of the Twelve Apostles and Jesus Christ. It also produced American Seung-Hui Cho who killed 32 students and himself at Virginia Tech and American John Wayne Gacy, Jr., who raped and murdered 33 young men and boys in Chicago, Illinois, in the 1970s.

We’re too mannered to call Dushabi out on Thanksgiving Day. We’ll do it later–after the turkey is digested.

On the same evening that millions of Americans gather around their Thanksgiving dinner to celebrate this most American of holidays, even more millions of Muslims around the globe, including the growing number of American Muslims, will do the same — celebrating as well one of the most definitive moments of their faith — Prophet Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son for his God.

This holiday celebration comes soon after the tragic incident at Fort Hood, when the atrocious act of a mass murderer put Islam and Muslims under some pressure to either denounce or defend their faith.

Citing examples of Christian mass murderers is par for this course–and is one of the reasons for increased skepticism about the intentions of Islamist apologists.

ONE FLAW in Dushabi’s “reasoning”: Seung-Hui Cho and John Wayne Gacy didn’t kill their victims while screaming “Jesus loves me, motha!”

And that’s all you need to know about that particular tune.
