I am not talkin about resistance or anything like that.
I am critizising polaris way of arguing in general.
I am simply saying, one regime doesn`t justify another one.
The Soviet gulags dont justify the nazo concentration camps.
McCarthy`s actions arent justified by comunist espionage.
And 9/11 wouldnt justify declaring war against all muslims.
I am arguing from the point of a person living in a civil republic, hence representing it`s juristical values, which seek to trial crimes individualy on the moral standerds set by that republic.
When arguing against a inhuman, inmoral and radical possition the wrong thing to do would be to simply take the inhuman, unmoral and radical oposing position.
Which is clearly the case here, when comparing crimes of a religious regime with the crimes of a secular regime, whilest completly ignoring that crimes shouldnt be evaluated from a radical possition but from a independent possition, at least in a court in a republic.
