Saying everyone has problems is called moral equivalence. Its like equating Amish and Jihadi societies - they both have "issues". That is the whole point. It is about doing the math. Add up all the pluses and minuses and come up with the correct value. Very few things are clear cut. The Amish have their issues but they don't go around killing people. The same could be said about the overwhelming majority of muslims. They don't go around killing people. There are Jihadi societies that go around killing people. I'm not defending them. I am all for doing the math. Come up with some equation. Who are the good guys and who are the bad guys? But using a broad brush to tarnish innocent people is not right.
