I'm getting really tire of the, "Christians do it too" argument. I'm getting really tired of the moral equivalence arguments altogether in this forum. It seems like every time someone sites a wrong committed by a person or a group, they find another example of something else done by someone else as if it excuses the behaviors of the first. It doesn't!
MORAL EQUIVALENCE
Quote:
The “we are just as bad as… or worse than them” mentality
A pervasive argument appearing in the post-colonial paradigm is that of “Moral Equivalence.” In the case of Islamic terrorism the dynamics of moral equivalence can be seen among some figures of the western intelligentsia in their vociferous moral indignation at the behavior of Western nations that, they allege, led to acts of terror, and their understanding attitude towards the terrorist acts themselves.
