First They Came for the Fags...
...then they came for the ragheads...
Okay, I know everyone in the left wing blogosphere has touted the words of Pastor Martin Niemoller up and down almost to the point of exhaustion. But look at that; now an organization devoted to "family values" is going out of its way to attack another faith.
W.L. Cati, founder of Zennah Ministries, believes most Americans would probably find the Islamic sacred text hard to decipher. "If you really try to read that book," she says, "it's very confusing. The Koran was put together not by chronological events, like [in] the Bible; it's all sporadic. It was put together from the largest sura [or chapter] to the shortest sura, vice-versa."
Like I'm going to listen to a group who tells me that the Earth was formed in six days because the Bible tells them so when they say a holy book is too complex (read: too many big words).
Besides, Cati contends, a reading of just a few key verses would likely scare off most rational readers. "All they've got to do is read suras like 'Take not Jews and Christians as your friends,'" she suggests, or "Sura 47:4, that says, 'When you meet the unbelievers, smite at their neck and make a great slaughter of them.'"
Right, because the Bible is full of sunshine and puppies and daisies, and nothing at all about righteous violence against your fellow man! Well, except for maybe the execution of gay men... and the stoning of impertinent teens... and the stoning of women who aren't virgins... and...
This is what it's coming to, folks. They've had their fun with us gays as a punching bag, and now they're moving to turn Islam into the next great target by painting them all as radicals (speaking of which, Hamas is a "radical Islamic group"; CAIR is as bland as oatmeal). We're all on their hit list; it's just a matter of who's first.

My favorite, from 2 Kings:
2:23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
2:24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

You do realize that now one of us has to start the First Ecclesiastical Church of Lost Highway, right?
