    Intolerance, cruelty in name of religion

    Where do all of the liberal apologists get the idea that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance? Raif Badawi is set to receive a second round of lashes in Saudi Arabia, the home of Mecca, after his criticism of Islam. Muslim governments and cultures around the world act with cruelty and intolerance toward women, non-believers and dissenters. In Badawi's case, a man was sentenced to a thousand lashes and a huge fine for the act of blogging something the Islamic judges deemed to be heretical or against Muslim doctrine. That is not, under any reasonable definition, an appropriate response by religious leaders.

    Wake up, liberal America, these 7th century mad men are not indicative of a peaceful religious group, they are a danger to anyone whose opinion differs from what they deem orthodox or acceptable. They will kill, maim and imprison in the name of their prophet and their God, while our liberal leaders and President Obama smile and say they are a religion of peace.

    Bottom line; this sentence was handed down by a court of religious leaders in Saudi Arabia against a man for speaking his opinion. Beware!
