Hot Air clarity

Via Michelle Malkin, the Posse found this excellent if somewhat long essay that nails much of the current situation:  When Atheists and Secularists Quote Scripture.

The tendency of the irreligious to lump all faiths into one distasteful basket is nothing new.  Over the years we've repeatedly been treated to the "More people have been killed in wars of religion than for any other cause" canard.

They wish to treat all religions as the common enemy, but to do this they are forced to equate the shooting of a nun in the back with a disagreement over the location of a bike path.

We were going to go on and explore this topic, but we must pause to contemplate the absolute low nature of this crime:  shooting a nun in the back.

It is the habit here at the ranch to make absurd comparisons, to equate often minor offenses with great ones in a humorous way.  Taking the last cookie, for example, is often likened to some petty, cruel act.  "Sure, take the last cookie," one might say.  "And trip a nun while you're at it."

But here is a situation where some utterly demented, twisted and incomprehensibly evil person has committed about the lowest crime imaginable:  shooting an unarmed woman who has dedicated her life to helping others. 

That he did it from behind only makes things even worse.

Given this, the Posse would expect the Muslim Street to rise up on outrage over such a heinous act done in the name of Islam.  That no such thing has happened, that the assembled ministers of the Arab League haven't issued a joint statement of condemnation speaks volumes to the difference between contemporary Christianity and Islam.

This is why the Posse looks at secularists who lump all religions together as the being most ignorant of fools.

Given their absolute blindness in this case, we have zero confidence in what they think about anything else.
