Nope. I condemn racism wherever it exists. But where one group is avowedly racist and genocide in its stated aims and the other has some racist individuals in it, there is no comparison. Do you see the difference?
I was referring to you and others. The anti fascists whom you scorn put their lives on the line to save your fellow-clergy. Had you been there fighting the good fight, they'd have done the same for you.
The two situations are not at all comparable. I think you know that. In one situation you had an entire ethnic group being exterminated with several entire nations in on it. In the other you had some societal rejects waving flags and yelling.
Can we ask those same questions about: 2016 shooting of Dallas police officers - Wikipedia
Are they American citizens? Are they carrying the weapons legally? Are they breaking the law?
Yet the 'societal rejects' supported a political party in Germany in the 1930s that accomplished all of the above and support the same party with the same aims now.
So if brown as opposed to white American citizens show up carrying weapons which they own legally but shouting "Allahu Akbar! Death to the West!" ...you're absolutely ok with that? They shouldn't be arrested.
Looking at the original post, this thread is about how both sides have resorted to violence, and there is no ethical superior. Seems to me that my post is fitting.
I'm afraid Franklin Graham has already waded in and blames both sides but particularly the authorities who wanted to remove the statue of bigotry. Gee, his daddy must be proud...
