or be killed, or see us destroying centuries-old relics because they offend our beliefs, then I might also speak out against atheists. But that isn't happening. All this comparison to "Taliban" or "Nazi" is melodramatic and serves no purpose but to rile up his base. And his base is more likely to demand that others abide by their beliefs or destroy relics than any atheists are.
