18. Bringing up Christianity was a red herring...

from Wilkerson, and such a common one. The false equivalency is that Islam, as of right now, is inspiring much more hatred and death than Christianity, worldwide, so on that comparison, they are not the same. Can't say I disagree.

Christianity has been neutered to a much greater extent by the secular world than has Islam, and that has lessened the negative impact it can have.
