OK listen. The civilized people of the world have had it up to here with you shitheads. Your perverted morality, by which the sight of a woman’s calf will send you to damnation, yet it’s perfectly OK to stab, immolate, blow up, and kill innocent victims is beyond us. We don’t understand your logic, and we don’t want to. You blow up a nightclub in Indonesia, I assume for no other reason than people were enjoying themselves in it. You sentenced a dissident scholar to death for daring to question the authority of the clerics. But not immediately, Oh no. Instead he is sentenced to 76 lashes, then a long stretch in prison, and only then is he to be executed. And speaking of women, here’s a newsflash. The civilized people of the world believe that women should have equal rights. One can make cultural allowances for the small stuff, like who pays on a date, or who holds the door open, but locking half your population in their houses and forbidding them to work or study is a no-no. So that’s all I have to say. Just stay out of my face. ---

I kind of like the name X. It has this furial ring to it. ---

I didn’t name the religion because I don’t have a problem with the religion, only with a few of its adherents. Fundamentalists come from all religions, and if anyone wants to rant about the various stripes, feel free to do so. ---

I think, **Libertarian** that **JuanitaTech** is demonstrating that fundamentalism in _any_ religion can lead to scary, destructive, or even homicidal behaviour. And she would be right. ---
