For those devotees of Manning’s Corollary who find the concept of moral equivalence difficult

For those devotees of Manning’s Corollary who find the concept of moral equivalence difficult September 20, 2012

Note the following:

FRANCE TO CLOSE 20 EMBASSIES IN FEAR OF CARTOON BACKLASH

French mag runs drawing of Mohammad naked; riot police stand guard…

Here is an elementary moral idea everyone but a devotee of Manning’s Corollary understands:

Those who respond to murder with satire are not morally equivalent to those who respond to satire with murder.

Victims of Islamic terror and those who empathize with them tend to fall in the former class.  Radical Islamic terrorists tend to fall in the latter class.  Clip and save for future reference.

Also clip and save the following:

The fact that the ancestors of Christians and Jews behaved barbarously in the conquest of Canaan or the Spanish Inquisition does not mean that contemporary Christians are the moral equivalents of thin-skinned thugs who burn down Paris because of a stupid cartoon or youtube video.

Oh, and Radical Muslims are pantywaist cowards who tend to take out their sense of aggrieved entitlement and frustration at not running the world on  powerless and innocent third parties, like so:

Report: 4 injured in Paris explosion at kosher store…

Such people are cowardly savages who are, I repeat, not ready for civilization.
