That the killer is getting even an iota of succor while the victim is vilified as a Nazi camp guard in this thread gives credence to the hyperbola of the Taliban America statement.

Also the strange double take given to religion in that it is okay to smash apart the Doctor but to point out the rot within a religion is a no-no.

One thinks that we wouldn't be so forgiving if the killer's philosophy was centred on Jedism or LOTR or a Trekkie. But change the frock and age the belief system a tad it is not ok to turn the lens on them. Tsk tsk tsk ageism.
I don't think anyone is objecting to criticisms of the kind of narrow and unchristian belief system that says this is ok. What I think people are objecting to is taking this one particularly unchristian action and saying "those Christians are all the same, murdering people for their God all the time." That's my problem anyway. For instance,

"Religious nutters killing others because they don't obey their warped code."

I think the emphasis should be on the "nutters" part because there are all sorts of murderers out there who kill others because they don't obey the murderer's code(s).
