ISIS has claimed responsibility for the terrorist attacks in Paris that have killed or injured hundreds, and author Stephen King doesn’t want an entire group of people unfairly blamed, so he offered this comparison:
Hating all Muslims for what happened in Paris is like hating all Christians because of the gay-hating Westboro Baptist Church.

King’s thought got its share of applause, but for others, it didn’t make sense:
If WBC was out conquering a half dozen countries, throwing gays off of buildings, and murdering concert goers…wait https://t.co/bH07wT6rJf

Why dirty up a legitimate point by comparing ISIS to a group with a death toll of zero? https://t.co/CugwEY6Opz

If you fall for this false equivalency youre forgetting that speech has never killed another person. https://t.co/dZHvy5J4jS

President Obama would no doubt love this defense of King’s tweet:
@StephenKing Your distorted logic is what makes these attacks possible. Speak to me when Christians exterminate a city of gays with bullets.
