Is Nazism the equivalent of libertarianism? Is conservatism morally equal to communism?

Next question: Is saying all faiths are morally equal really any different from saying all ideologies are so?

“We have to understand that an attack on one faith is an attack on all our faiths,"said Barack Obama at a mosque outside of Baltimore earlier this year. This was mentioned today by American Thinkercommentator Marion DS Dreyfus. She takes issue with the president’s remark, saying it reflects a destructive and deceptive religious-equivalence philosophy stating, “All faiths are equal.”

Now, first note that Obama’s mosque statement, aside from being stale boilerplate rhetoric, makes as much sense as if an Allied bombardier had refused to do his duty during the WWII bombing of Dresden and exclaimed, “An attack on one city is an attack on all our cities!” Even more analogous, it’s much as if an Obama underling balked at targeting conservative opponents, explaining “Mr. President, we have to understand that an attack on one ideology is an attack on all our ideologies!”
