Use of the comparative: "Bill is taller than Tom and Tom is taller than Jim. They are all short."
"More benign" does not mean 'benign", although as soon as I hear of some Christian group blowing up a rival church, or a crowded market-place, or burning down girls' schools, or throwing acid in women's faces, I'll change my tune.
