The Qur’an insists that Synagogues and Churches be Preserved and Respected
Juan Cole picks cherries tasty to children and liberals in mixed company.
Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, and others have picked other cherries tasty to those interested in understanding the connection between texts in the Koran and the politics - and political violence - of various Muslim fundamentalists and their organizations.
And it remains undeniable that Muslims interested in finding textual support for horrific politics and political violence have a far easier time rooting in the Koran than Christians rooting in the New Testament for like support for like politics and violence.
Historically, Christian churchment trying to show textual support for their violence against their enemies have commonly resorted to tortured and blatantly arbitrary readings.
Not so, the Muslims.
But that does not mean there is not abundant textual support in the NT as well as the OT for the most egregious misogyny and the claim by some Christian ministers that "God hates fags".
And slim to none to the contrary.

What the sex criminal in the White House is concerned about
Trump says it's 'a very scary time for young men in America'
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he believes the reaction to the allegations of sexual assault and other misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh makes it "a very scary time for young men in America."
"It is a very scary time for young men in America, where you can be guilty of something you may not be guilty of," Trump said.
"This is a very, very -- this is a very difficult time. What's happening here has much more to do than even the appointment of a Supreme Court justice."
"You could be somebody that was perfect your entire life and somebody could accuse you of something," he added.
"That's one of the very, very bad things that's taking place right now."
The basket of deplorables starts with him.
And if that's your reaction you really are a misogynist.
And a paid up member and supporter of the rape culture.
What's scary is that people who do things like that pay no price, but their victims do.
I was sexually assaulted and thought it was my fault. It's past time for a 1980s reckoning.
By the way.
Some of us remember how Democratic Party operatives defended Clinton.
"It's just sex, so what?"
"Hey, everybody lies about sex."
The slime got pretty bad.

Calling his supporters in madness "deplorables" understates it
Trump jabs 'Wacky Jacky and Pocahontas' while campaigning for Dean Heller in Nevada
Better her in the White House than him, by a long, long way.
In a visit to boost one of the nation's most vulnerable Republican senators ahead of this fall's November election, President Donald Trump unveiled a new nickname for the Democrat running to unseat Sen. Dean Heller.
"Wacky Jacky," Trump said at the Nevada GOP convention, in reference to Rep. Jacky Rosen. "You don't want her as your senator."
. . . .
As controversy still rages over his administration's handling of immigrant families at the Southern border, Trump said he sees the issue as immigration as a winner for Republicans in the midterms.
"I think I got elected largely because we are strong on the border," Trump said.
Of undocumented immigrants, he said, "if they see any weakness, they will come by the millions."
Trump also noted that Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a potential 2020 challenger, was in the state Saturday speaking at the state Democratic convention, again using the "Pocahontas" slur to describe the Massachusetts Democrat.
"Wacky Jacky is campaigning with Pocahontas, you believe this? In your state! Can you believe this?" Trump said at the Nevada GOP convention.
"When you see that, that's not the senator you want."
He apparently does not recall that Hillary got millions more votes than he did.

So the c-word is OK, now?
Or maybe just for women and girls, like "nigger" is OK only for black people.
Comedian Samantha Bee calls Ivanka Trump a 'feckless c***'
Feminists in the 60s and 70s wrote endlessly that men's use of various rude words for vagina as insults was misogynistic and comparable in wickedness to white people's use of the n-word - all the while encouraging use of such words as "dick" and "prick" as insults.
So is "cunt" back?

Thumbs up, thumbs down
Possibly the only thing on which I am closer to the Republicans than the Democrats is abortion.
And that is because support for the alleged right of women to kill their unborn children, which ought to be denied the shelter of the privacy right given it in Roe, is the absolute core of modern feminism, and because feminists are so strong within the Democratic Party they have made it a litmus test issue for Democratic candidates.
In my view - except for the first couple of weeks of pregnancy, before actual organs begin to develop, during which it is intrinsically unobjectionable, though perhaps it still would be best for it to be illegal - abortion is the killing of an unborn child and ought to be illegal, just as is infanticide.
In fact, woman should have legally enforceable duties of care for their unborn children, just as parents have such duties regarding their children who have already been born.
But what women want is the right to commit murder, and without any interference from anyone, not even the fathers of their children, not even the parents of pregnant minors.
And they want that more than anything else on their feminist todo list, many of the items on which are there only to defend or entrench that right.
It occurs to me that Immanuel Kant somewhere wrote that prohibitions of cruelty to animals were necessary, though animals have no rights and no moral standing in themselves, in order to prevent humans being even more vicious and brutal toward each other than they are.
Surely someone must see how this applies to the question whether abortion ought to be prohibited, even if it is believed or anyway alleged that unborn children are not children or have no rights.
Though it has been argued by some utilitarian ethicists - perhaps previously employed at Buchenwald and widely admired by liberals - that killing a mature ape or adult chimpanzee is morally much worse than even killing a human infant, and much, much worse than abortion.

So this is a thing?
Who does not know that men usually want sex more urgently and more often than the women in their lives, and can pester them quite a lot about it?
Who does not know that young men are pretty much driven all day and all night, every day and every night, by sexual furies?
Who does not know, who has not known forever, that celibacy drives people, but especially males, nuts?
Nobody can pretend surprise that chronic sexual frustration powers resentment.
There is no doubt it is behind many rapes.
But an on-line "incel" ("involuntary celibacy") movement?
Turning chronic and acute personal sexual frustration into something close to an ideological justification for murder?
When Misogynists Become Terrorists
Anger like that deserves the name of "hate," but not every hate crime is an act of terrorism.
Jessica Valenti doesn't care what the word means.
She just wants to use it as a political and social weapon.
And yet the facts she reports are surprising, frightening, and shocking.
A sample.
In the wake of the Toronto attack, a well-known member of the “pickup artist” community, Daryush Valizadeh, tweeted that “sleeping with only two or three Toronto Tinder sluts would have been enough to stop” Mr. Minassian’s “urge to kill.”
Mr. Valizadeh has argued for the legalization of rape.
In some of these groups, men who kill women have become heroes.
After Mr. Rodger went on his shooting spree, one men’s-rights community called what he did “Going Sodini” — a reference to the 2009 shooting in a gym outside of Pittsburgh.
Before his rampage, Mr. Sodini, 48 at the time, was seeking advice from pickup artists out of a frustration that women decades younger than he was wouldn’t date him.
Later, after Mr. Rodger’s 140-page manifesto was released — outlining his fury over still being a “kissless virgin” — his name became synonymous on misogynist forums with revenge on women who reject men.
A manifesto left by Chris Harper-Mercer, who shot and killed nine people at Umpqua Community College, even mentioned Mr. Rodger by name as he wrote about being 26 years old with “no girlfriend, a virgin.”
Where the hell is the sexual revolution when you need it?
Wasn't sex education in the schools supposed to help ease kids into being comfortably active with safe, responsible, and un-frightening sex not too long after the onset of puberty?
