If the creationists don't, they're no better than the "moderate Muslims" who say they decry the violence but won't actually raise a voice to stop it.

Couple of differences here, though.

In the case of Muslim terrorists, they are picking random civilians--to KILL. And solely for not being Muslim. And then they post videos of the murder (sawing off of heads, anyone?) on the internet for the hapless victim's family to see. Or pin Muslim screeds to the victim's chest with the knife used to kill him.

And then they publically take credit.

In this case, you have a guy who was publically bragging about humiliating a certain subset of Christians.

Then he shows up with some wounds, a vague description, and alleging that Christians beat him up. This is of not much evidentiary value either way: there is a track record of all sorts of people from all different walks of life, faking assaults and attacks. No particular slur on Darwinists. But on the other hand, someone who has just been roughed up might not have known in advance what was coming, in order to pay especial attention to the make of the pickup truck, etc. So as far as that goes, it's a wash.

And in the meantime, you might note that if he WAS beat up, the perps did not videotape the beating, and did not issue public statements about "Dembski akhbar" or what ever.

Try a more reasoned approach rather than napalm--the thread will be a lot more civilized.

Cheers!

I see.

Interesting rationalization.

I am not convinced that it happened, but if it did, I expect a lot of crow to be eaten by those who are currently dancing in our virtual streets over this beating.
