Culture in the Islamic World:
Taliban stones woman to death, shoots man in ditch accused of Adultery.
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.
The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome. – Winston Churchill
Not much has changed since Winnie said that.

The religion of peace encourages this type of thing everywhere it sinks its teeth and sprays its venom. Egypt is no different. Remember the gays who were rounded up from a party boat on the Nile?
In 2002, 52 men were rounded up on the Queen Boat, a floating nightclub, by police, where they were beaten and tortured…A government spokesman said the Queen Boat incident was not a violation of human rights but, “actually an interpretation of the norms of our society, the family values of our society. And no one should judge us by their own values. And some of these values in the West are actually in decay.”
And from the comments of the article by Eric Dondero you linked at Libertarian Republican:
From 5 to 8 March 2009, a workshop took place in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, that featured three American evangelical Christians: Scott Lively, an author who has written several books opposing homosexuality; Caleb Lee Brundidge, a self-professed former gay man who conducts sessions to heal homosexuality; and Don Schmierer, a board member of Exodus International, an organisation devoted to promoting “freedom from homosexuality through the power of Jesus Christ”.[10] The theme of the conference, according to The New York Times, was the “gay agenda”: “how to make gay people straight, how gay men often sodomized teenage boys and how ‘the gay movement is an evil institution’ whose goal is ‘to defeat the marriage-based society and replace it with a culture of sexual promiscuity’ “
After this Christian conference in Uganda, the government decided to pass a bill making homosexuality punishable by death. When the connection to American evangelicals was made public, they backed off and recanted.
Like, you know, WE didn’t mean to go THAT far. We’ve learned a thing or two since the days when we butchered Jews, tortured non-believers, hung witches, and castrated little boys to sing in our church choirs.
RELIGION – FEEL THE LOVE.
Damn, hanged witches. My grammar is going to hell, as am I according to the Koran and the Bible.
Frank,

Cross posted here. I end it with:
And always it is with the “not what we intended” crap. If you preach hate what the Hell else do you expect Mother Fuckers?
Thanks for linking back to your Uganda article. Exactly as you say, what do they expect? You have to wonder what is it in human nature that allows people to suspend rationality and commit the most horrible acts against a despised minority because of a belief system.
There must be some kind of fatal flaw inherent in the human race.
