Scarborough tried to rescue himself later by saying he’s not comparing Christianity to Islam… even though that is exactly what he’s doing.

Via Newsbusters:

Joe Scarborough says he doesn’t want to be “torn to shreds online” for analogizing the threat of radical Christianity to that of radical Islam.

Simple solution: stop analogizing the threat of radical Christianity to that of radical Islam. On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough twice suggested such parallels, analogizing radical Islamists to “ultrafundamentalist Christians who believe every single word of the Bible has to be interpreted in the exact ways which could also lead to some violence.” A bit later, Scarborough circled back, saying “it doesn’t matter what faith you’re in,” that a literal reading of scripture attracts the outcasts of society, for better or “for much worse.”
