They equate the two. Do you?
And they seem to give no special attention to addressing their own. That's the problem.

I tried to avoid equating the two, only to have Hank put those words in my mouth. Did you not read those posts, or are you just trying to be irritating?
What you are now saying is that it's not enough that they condemn the sort of terrorism that offends us the most -- they also have to publicly state that that kind of terrorism is special -- it's worse than everything else in the world. Where does this obligation come from?
Which is worse: 3,000 people dead on 9/11, or 400,000 people dead in Darfur? 9/11 troubles me more, because it's closer to home, but I don't think that everyone should have to feel the same way.
