Maybe one could argue that Phillips’ opposition to the Jihadis is based merely upon religious differences. However, they are creationists too. I still think there is a danger of becoming like “them” if we allow no deviation from correct thought. Is she insisting that it be taught in school science courses? If someone opposes totalitarianism and stands for freedom, even the freedom to be wrong about evolution and how the west west was won, they can believe in the Easter Bunny, for all I care. Am I missing something here? I can understand pulling the neo-nazis’ pants down, showing them for what they are and disassociating with them and their ilk entirely but Philips appears to be one of the good guys.
