We hear a lot these days about Islam’s misogyny and cultural
authoritarianism.. A good example is that idiot lawyer fighting
construction of a mosque in Chattanooga, enthralling public hearings
with juicy quotes he’s mined from the Quran.
Apparently he’s never read the Bible. The list of things in Leviticus
that call for death by stoning would take out not only gays and
lesbians, but most everybody else as well. Then there’s that wonderful
stuff about dashing out the brains of Philistine babies and
exterminating
the entire population of Canaan. Yet most Christians, outside of Fred
Phelps’s bunch, don’t advocate this kind of stuff. And many Christians
from the mainline denominations openly condemn it.
