I said, and I quote, "It allows rape just a little bit".
What is it about your fascination with misquoting? Isn't it easy enough to check something before you put quotation marks around it?
Also, consider not baiting people into debating subjects for which you have no factual references.

"It allows rape just a little bit" is your conclusion and assertion, not a quote. It was about the religion of Islam.

Extremist muslims see non-muslims as infidels, and therefore, less than human.

This story is about a woman and her two daughters. I see nothing wrong with the posting the story.

I did edit my post (like one second after posting) because I realized it could be taken wrong.

I suggest you to make a post on this, to provide a negative example of bigotry.
