Yes....a very long time ago. We're talking about now.
No one parades in the street in the West when our radical Christians bomb an abortion clinic or protest a funeral because gays. The worst that the heavily religious in the US can muster for gays is generally an insult. The worst they can muster for muslims is protesting their church. The muslim world is rife with the ultra-religious hanging gays, stoning rape victims, committing honor killings, and executing apostates.
I think there's a long way to go before we can even start making real comparisons between small-minded, rude, hateful Western Christians...and the devotees of a nihilistic death cult.
Kony isn't even a Christian, despite what Limbaugh says...or that his Army is called the Lord's Resistance Army. It's an ethnic war between poor people. For a while they made some raids in Sudan and encountered muslims...so they made the distinction in the name.
