Muslim Tolerance Update

Posted by Adam Graham in : Podcast

Podcast Show Notes 

Pakistan says that 1.3 billion Muslims would turn into terrorists should the U.S. bomb Mecca and Medina in response to Tom Tancredo’s threat against the two cities. Hey, Tom, do you mind not giving ammo to Islamic extremists.

Meanwhile, despite efforts to draw tourists to Saudi Arabia (other than the religious pilgrims), Saudi Arabia refuses to allow foreigners to bring their own Bibles, while Egypt arrests two Christians for working for a website critical of Islam. What does it say that Saudi Arabians are scared of a Bible in another language or a cross? If it doesn’t say something about Islam, it sure as heck does about how the Saudis and Egyptians view it.

Then we turn to a homosexual rights group that’s ticked off that an ex-gay group will be able to handle out literature on school groups. The group basically argues that the ex-gay group doesn’t deserve equal access because the gay rights movements is right and the ex-gay movement is akin to drinking and smoking. Thus, we’re seeing what’s normal and healthy being defined as abnormal and dangerous as we turn society upside down.

Meanwhile, a Washington, DC administration judge who filed a $54 million lawsuit may get his just desserts as the City prepares to fire him for his lack of judicial temperment. (Hat Tip: Needs of the Many)

Finally, on a positive note, Mauritania is taking action to end slavery.

    Precious Poets Remember Our Troops; Create a Play…

    There was a young gentleman who read Beyond Glory: Medal of Honor Heroes in Their Own Words by Larry Smith. After reading this book, he felt compelled to write a play about these men and tell their stories in words. It opened in 2004 “on the edge of ….

  2. Comment by Jay S.

    Wow. Tancredo’s an idiot. Imagine the ruckus if bin Laden threatened to bomb the Vatican. Kind of backs up my assertion that stupidity is bi-partisan and we should stop voting and ‘punditing’ Republican or Democratic. They both have to feed the Lobby Beast before they can enact any significant legislation and it is killing us. Literally. What do we give Egypt every year now? $2,000,000,000 is it? And even though Saudi Arabia is the one of the most backward dictatorships in the Middle East our leaders of both parties literally walk hand in hand with the House of Saud!

    Hard times like the late 70’s and early 80’s are coming and like then it has nothing to do with the Party in Charge; it’s the system. And that’s why I agree with Newt on this:

    right up until he advocates MORE money which is the insane part!

    There is enough scientific evidence that homosexuality is genetic and therefore should be taught in health class as an occurring phenomenon without any judgments as to right or wrong. Anything else, either for or against, should be considered disruptive to the learning process and dealt with accordingly. When our national average achieves top ten status again then I think there might be time for this sort of thing.

  3. Comment by Andrea Graham

    Yes, and alcoholism, some cancers, most mental disorders, etc. all have a strong genetic proponent. Few of the genes for these conditions, particularly with the mental disorders like homosexual tendencies, equate to a life/death sentence (take your pick). They merely predispose the person to develop the disorder in reaction to various environmental stimuli and circumstances (many of which are genuinely beyond their control). This is why so many homosexuals (note I did not say all) have been abused as a child, have an alcoholic parent, are a product of divorce or a single parent home, or had an otherwise absentee father. And the genetic proponent is why not all who experience those conditions become homosexual. Most will show sexual dysfunction of some other kind, such as heterosexual promiscuity, without direct intervention (such as having a good relationship with a substitute for the emotionally or physically absent parent.)

    But it comes down to this: if we can’t judge homosexuality as abnormal because it has a genetic factor, we also shouldn’t treat many types of cancer, diabetes, alcoholism, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, etc. but embrace these conditions as normal and refuse the sufferers treatment other than to make them as comfortable as possible until the end if terminal, or allow them to continue behavior that hurts themselves and/or others, as this is normal for their “alternate reality.” Their condition is genetic also, so who are we to judge?

    Scientific Study Conducted by Right Truth…

    I have conducted a scientific study on TTLB, LinkFest Haven, Open Trackbacks, and SiteMeter. It’s scientific because I say it’s scientific, which makes it as scientific as any other ’study’ out there. Earlier this year Texas Fred conducted a discus…
