It is one thing to celebrate videos of death and destruction and rationalise that it’s ok because ‘you’re the good guys’ and a totally different thing to be ok with the ending of a philosophy. I can’t wait for Christianity and Islam to die, that does not mean I wish for a single Christian or Muslim to die. Personally I think Coreece is performing some mental gymnastics to equate the two. The blunt facts are that throughout history religious fanatics have wished harm and destruction on their enemies, they just don’t like having their hypocrisy highlighted. The bible is packed full of the very stuff that elicits outrage from Christians, when muslims express the same views.
