No. The outrage against Christians

or even a non-Christian wingnut would be thundering off the walls of DU. We truly do possess a number (not all or not most) of outright hypocrites. It is undeniable. We have seen far more posters defending Islam than sympathizing with those injured citizens in Boston.

If the attack had come from two brothers who happened to be Christians, and the surviving brother said that his actions were motivated by his religious beliefs, Christians (as a whole) would be savaged by many here and their posts never removed as an unfair attack on their group.

That's the duplicity and unfortunate hypocrisy that exists.
