Bigotry and hate

Does anyone else feel particularly nauseated when they hear about Q'uran burnings?

Tim shared this venn diagram with me on Google Reader the other day. The extremist Muslims are less of a percentage of Muslims as a whole than the fundamentalist Mormons of the LDS religion. And like the author of the venn diagram says.... if all Muslims hated us, they could have taken us out YEARS ago.




It makes me wonder how horrible it must be for Muslims to be associated with extremists... maybe it's a little how I feel as a Christian to be associated with this "Dove World Outreach Center".

  1. I agree with you that the guy that wants to burn the Quran is a nut, but nauseated? No. However, I do feel nauseated when I hear about a husband raping his wife and being ruled innocent by a judge because he was just obeying sharia law (luckily it was overturned), or a woman being stoned to death because of sharia law, or non-Muslims not being permitted in Mecca being they are unclean.

    It's funny though because there is a double standard. If a Muslim were to burn Bibles everyone would be like "well that's okay, at least they are not hurting anyone this time." So true.
