I would agree with that in general, Eric, but I'm not so sure that suspected Islamic terrorists do get such an even-handed deal. The US government do tend to get a little "uneven" when it comes to this subject. After all, why is Guantanamo Bay detention centre in Cuba? Because they cannot legally do what they do there on the US mainland due to human rights laws.
Having said that I have no time for religious fanatics of any kind and we do need to do something about people who kill in the name of that which has never been proved to exist. It is childish stupidity of the highest order.
