This is horrifying beyond belief. And, no, what ISIS is doing is not comparable

171. And saying "It's from the OT" accomplishes what,

exactly?

Islam has a problem.
It's problem is that

(a) it is fundamentalist - the Quran is taken as the unadulterated word of God

And (b) It preaches that as Mohammed was the best of men, it is recommended that all followers for all times follow his 7th century example.

It has chained itself to medieval mores. And since it also declares that blasphemers should be punished, few people dare to challenge those mores.

Guess what: Mohammed took women as slaves. ISIS is following his lead. They say that this makes them good Muslims. They have a pretty strong theological point. And the Muslims of the world - the sane ones - don't want to face this, so they obfuscate instead.

Please don't enable the excuse-makers. Christianity and Judaism, in their mainstream forms have (mostly) ditched te OT nonsense in favor of broader beliefs like "Do unto others" or "Raping is bad because, well, it just is. No matter what Lot said to the mob outside his door."

Don't you want the same for Islam?
