Just my opinion. ..
but everywhere "stuff" is done hiding behind the dogma of religion.. No matter if it is Fundamentalist Islam, high and mighty holy roller's in the states calling themselves "Christians"..or the other 100,000 seculars of man made churches and man made laws attaching themselves to it for personal gain and power reasons.... it is still common sense to "treat people as you want to be treated". Simple as it may seem.. it should be the Golden Rule.
Stoning people to death.. killing people in the name of "the higher power" because it doesn't fit your man made religious power hungry doctrine ..is wrong, no matter where, or what part of the world you live in. And they do this in the name of the higher spiritual power??!?? Sorry, because it seems to be "bashing" their beliefs..I can't stand back and condone it! I can't personally do anything about it.. but I damned sure won't sit back and say that they have that right , because it is their religious freedom..
Wrong. It is everyone's religious freedom to "worship " their God/Goddess the way that they want.. it is NOT their right to kill, maim, torture and do harm to someone because that person chooses to NOT "go by the rules".
Harm, Hurt and Worship are not on the same line.
I guess when all of these types of people finally fill up the US...(as they are starting to do).. and we are stepping back to make accommodation's for them..( as we are already starting to do) we all "might" have a bit of a different opinion about people who speak out about crazy religious practices..
Once again..respectfully saying..... Taking it to any limit you want to... and I might be in the minority here ...but I agree pretty much with what he said.
