Yes. I've seen the Mormon - Muslim cherry-picked connection used on this board multiple times.....

Turning his criticisms on himself is not one of Danny's hobbies. Hypocrisy, however... that's one of his favorites!

Doctor Peterson's irony detection gland must have shriveled up for him to have even considered writing that one.

Maybe he thought he could turn people's attention away from his own cherry picking by pointing out someone else's.
He's like a four year old hiding in plain sight.

This could have been an opportunity for bridge-building--an opportunity to explore the commonalities between Mormonism and Islam. Instead, the article seems an excuse to accuse an Evangelical critic of being dishonest.

"Moses Middlebury" school of philology, according to which "Moses" and "Middlebury" are really the same name. You just have to drop the "-oses" and add the "-iddlebury."
This reminded me of NHM, just insert your favorite vowels.
