Hirsi Ali, the Right's New Hero



There are no Christians who want the bible to replace the constitution in any Western society? Is she blind!?

"Democracy is evil and contrary to God's law."
-Kent Hovind, anti-evolution propagandist

"I think democracy is the greatest system on earth, but that's it, it's just on earth and ultimately designed to destroy itself, because we have to give everyone equal freedom and ultimately that's going to destroy us. A perfect world is not going to be perfect until Jesus is truly lord."
-Becky Fischer, the chick who runs the Jesus Camp

She says that Islam calls for the murder of gays and adulterers and that "all this is in the Qur'an." Horseshit. None of it is in the Qur'an. The death penalty for adulterers was added later by Umar ibn al-Khattāb, one of Muhammed's followers. According to Reza Aslan, "the stoning to death of adulterers, a punishment which has absolutely no foundation whatsoever in the Quran but which Umar justified by claiming it had originally been part of the Revelation and had somehow been left out of the authorized text." [emphasis mine]

Umar was a notorious misogynist who was even forbidden to marry the sister of one of Muhammed's wives, because of how he was known to treat women. People who believe that adultery is punishable by death according to the Quran, be they Muslims themselves or some ignorant Westerners who want to make Islam look evil, have been lied to.

For someone who was raised a Muslim, she doesn't seem to know much about Islam. It's scary to think how many Muslims have the same perception of Islam as she does.
