Teddy Bear may bring 40 lashes

Perhaps the kind of insanity that would condemn humanity to sin forever because somebody ate an apple.

One person's insanity is another's idea of justice.

 

Gosh, I'm going to take the "crazy" view that both cases are examples of injustices. Is that OK?

Perhaps every post that references another nation should include a corresponding example from the United States, and then we could forestall these inevitable responses.

 

Or, perhaps, people should devote more time to rooting out justice at home instead of convincing themselves -- and attempting to convince others -- that any particular religious or ethnic group has the market cornered on it.

Be the change, etc.

 

But they aren't so quit trying to equate beheading someone because they were gay or didn't have their face covered with a Baptist minister preaching that homosexuality is a sin. Depending on your point of view, the Baptist minister is merely being annoying. Hard to put that on the same level as 40 lashes for naming a Teddy Bear Muhammad, but damn if you and JR and the rest of the Ostriches aren't trying.

 

I don't think we have the market cornered. But we have don't have the equivilent of Sharia Law in the U.S. Last I checked, our due process, while imperfect, works just a little bit better than some tribunal handing a woman 200 lashes for being gang-raped.

 

More than annoying, hondo. He's hateful and he's loathsome.

I would stop listening to him if I were you.

 

I'm not listening to any of them. I don't believe gays are going to hell. But however you want to judge statements or beliefs like that, they fall far, far short of beheading and lashing.

 

How about waterboarding?

 

Do unto me as you would the least of my brothers.

I guess somebody ate that page.

 

Sorry. I used it to roll up and smoke a...

Hey, take these cuffs off me! Where are we going?

Oh, man, Don't taze me, Bro!

 

You've got to put in in perspective. We had several posters just the other day ready to flay and imprison SI ad copy writers for just misspelling "Muhammed" Ali!

 

Then speak out against religious intolerance here, big boy.

Your ilk is more likely to speak out against religious tolerance in the USA in my experience, however.
