Obviously, runner, you are reading a different Bible to the one I have (the Authorized Version, if you must know).

Did not the rabbi Yeshua Ben Joseph (you can call him Jesus, if you prefer) say, "Think not that I am come to destroy the Torah"?

I can also assume, then, that you have no complaint with homosexuality, as the New Testament, which you clearly prefer to the Old, is spectacularly silent on the subject?

I was once of the opinion that what happened to women under sharia was none of our business but their's andtheir's alone as long as it does not break any of our laws.

BUT

it is a crime to assault women and to rape women EVEN IF it is a wife who is raped.Rape is criminal assault.

BUT

It is statutary rape to have intercourse with a minor even if she is said to be "consensual".

What happens if a Muslim women takes refuge in a women's shelter and her husband finds out where it is and turns up demanding sex because it is his conjugal right. They can only be divorced by sharia law so that any divorce granted by our secular law is unenforceable?

Once again, most people continue to confuse religion with culture.

The biggest Muslim nation in the world is Indonesia and they were so oppressive they apparently forced a woman to become their President and didn't allow her to wear a burkha.

The fundamentalist states held up as some sort of overall indicator represent a very small minority of the global whole.

It's a bit like saying that all Christians shun technology, wear black and ride around in horse-drawn carriages because of the Amish.

When are we going to get back to those good-ole Biblical values - like stoning people to death for working on the Sabbath?
