Calling a shovel a shovel...
 

Y’know, it’s too damn easy to refuse to own what is broke, and cast out
a "believer" from the flock once he/she strays, so that the genus stays
pure and everyone can go on with their happy-peaches-n-cream-apple-pie
lives. So whether it’s Eric Rudolph, or Ted Haggard, once a Christian
fundamentalist is busted for straying from the official "outward
appearance", the problem is instantly "solved" by calling the person
"not a Christian".

Well, it’s just never been that easy. For others at least.

This country, and most of the world, has never let the Muslims get away
with the "those people that do those atrocious acts are not following
what the Qur’an preaches" line. We call them Islamic terrorists, Islamic
fundamentalists, Muslim terrorists, whatever. The official and
unofficial news media casually name-checks their religion thousands of
times every day.

These things ingrain in people’s minds, y’know. Which is why this whole
Muslim = Evil meme has taken hold so pervasively.

We can hold their religion "accountable". So why not make sure you’re
out of the glass house before you do something about that stone-throwing
itch?

"Accountability" never hurt anyone who is trying to make themselves better.

I do understand that this heinous act hurts your decent religious self
and I do recognize that you are on the side of what is right and I do
apologize to you, in advance, for sounding maybe a bit too harsh than
what I really am...

.... But in return, I want you to call it for what it is. ....

This (the murder of the doctor in Wichita) is an act of "Christian
terrorism", and by extension, it was carried out by "a Christian".
Whether anyone is proud of it or not.
