    Yes. Riverside has the Mission Inn, it has Mt. Rubidoux, hell it still may have a few orange groves.

    San Bernardino is concrete puke.

    Is San Berdoo that bad? I am vaguely familiar with the area, I have family in the Inland Empire but not out quite that far ... I'll take your word for it, but that's a stinging indictment.

    These same things could be written about any number of Christian murderers who have bombed abortion clinics or shot up a Planned Parenthood.

    They are radicalized.

    They don't represent 99% of Christians.

    I'm a Christian and go to church on Sunday. That doesn't mean I'm on a slippery slope toward bombing a Planned Parenthood.

    Nor should Christians be banned from entering the U.S.

    How many people did Christian terrorists kill last year? I can think of two deaths this year. ISIS and Boko Haram combined to kill 12,000-plus.

    Right, because radicalization is a miniscule part of Christianity. It's a much, much larger part of Islam. It's part of the religion for a whole lot of Muslims throughout the world. If it wasn't, you wouldn't see stonings, beheadings and massacres daily. To make the Christian/Islam comparison is purposefully ignorant and dangerous.

    Sounds enlightened, though, which is usually what matters.

    Dangerous ?

    In what way ?

    Are you suggesting I should be thrown in jail ?

    It is dangerous if policy makers proceed on the assumption that Christianity and Islam are equally prone to producing terror.

    I thought liberals frown on Hitler comparisons, citing them as evidence of a losing argument.

    So, what's that say about the comparisons of Trump to Hitler:

    Riverside is a little better, but they're both awful.
