No, more like "Lets not talk about weapons even though everyone talks about defending their faith". I agree with disarming Isis. But love of guns in America with Christians is literally like peanut butter and jelly. I simply am objecting to the title of the OP because of the way those books were written. They are tribal. All teach the defense of the club. And the word "defend" implies a need to have something to "protect" yourself with. So when any Christian or Muslim or Jew tells me they are willing to die for what they believe in, I don't see how you can separate weapons out of that mix.
I DO agree with killing ISIS, but not for the same reasons. I don't think combating their religious nutfucks should include ignoring our bad logic and our transgressions. To claim that Christianity or Jews are squeaky clean by proxy is a fucking joke. Our tribalism simply is better maintained and more civil, but never perfect.
