   It isn't all (or even many) Christians, it isn't supported by the   
   government, and it doesn't involve burning anything other than their   
   personally owned copies of anything (that I know of).   
      
   So no, it doesn't make "us" anything; "we" are still absolutely   
   unequivocally "better than the Nazis."   
      
   I completely disagree with their plans, but those who try to make it   
   reflect on anything but a small group of individuals (while screaming   
   that we must not hold actual groups of Taliban/Al-Qaida supporters   
   responsible for the atrocities they commit) are being deliberately   
   ignorant.
