#1 Let's see: Christian cleric perceives possible injustice in the present, protests by self without violence. Muslim cleric perceives possible injustice, present or past, more often than not calls for mass killing/jihad by followers.

Anyone notice any differences here?

#3 yeah, this "turn the other cheek" stuff doesn't work

you need to read the supressed version.

"turn the other cheek"
"and keep an eye upon his feet"
"then kick 'em the balls"
"and make 'em sweet"

#4 Alec, I'll try this: "What is an anger management problem?" No? How about "what is chronic bloodlust on the part of the Muslim"?

Whatever the answer, since both Copts and Muslims in Africa seem to like cutting off pieces of women's genitals, we can be sure at least that she will be "trim and clean" for her new 'owner'.

#6 That was the case for some Copt sects as late as the 1980s. As I understand it, Copts don't cut off everything-like they do in other places in Africa-they just cut off the 'fun' part. So with those Copts at least you don't have to cut your wife open to have sex.
