No, no, I'm simply applying your logic, to wit, "if the founder of the

extreme measures in response."

You seemingly have a reading deficit. I said I understood Muslim >anger<

a cartoon depicting Mohammed as a terrorist which, because of Muslim
reverence for Mohammed as founder of Islam, translated to mean that >all<
Muslims are terrorists. I did not and never would say that violence is
either understandable or to be condoned.

OK, fine and dandy, you only understand the anger.

So, do you understand the anger of Christians who see abortion as evil
and an attack on their deity, since he explicitly says if you do
something to children, you are doing it to him?

You really seem to be going out of
your way to disagree with me,

I'm examining the consistency with which you apply rules.

even though your arguments against are nothing
but smoke and mirrors.

My argument is a gedankenexperiment.

As I have said many times before in this forum. I do not approve of
abortion. At the same time, I will not ever approve legislation that takes
that choice away from a woman and her doctor. I further understand the
anger of many, Christians and others, who rightly or wrongly feel abortion
is murder. At the same time, I do not and cannot condone the murder of
abortion doctors.

And the next time you attempt to turn one argument into another, do not
expect any sort of response from me.
