text: If a Muslim or a foreigner overseas commits murder in the name of his or her religious views, we call the Muslim or foreigner a terrorist.
  But, if a Christian man commits murder in the name of "saving the babies", we call him crazy.
  Why the double standard?
  From the moment he was captured, Mr. Dear has said he committed the crime. He has said abortion is murder, and that he committed the crime to "save the babies".
  He has had to do this while being told to shut up, and while the authorities in El Paso County -- home of a huge number of conservative Christian organizations -- insist he must be crazy.
  Who are the El Paso County officials protecting? Are they concerned that if Robert Dear pleads guilty and is allowed to make a statement justifying his action, people will see what the logical end result of constantly pronouncing that abortion is murder and calling abortion doctors murderers is?
  Let Mr. Dear plead guilty. Let this pro-life true believer speak. Then imprison him for life.
