- Not to be rude, but what the hell are you talking about? Is Iran's death
- sentence on Salman Rushdie, if carried out, not murder, but justice? And
- are all Jews going to hell for not running around 'justicizing' all the
- people pointed out in their 'good' book as deserving of 'justice'? If you
- believe this, then you scare the shit out of me and make a good case for
- banning organized religion. I mean, wow, where did you come from?
- If you don't believe what you wrote and are just stating the facts for our
- benefit, just read 'you people who believe this statement' in place of 'you'.
