| #3 Hundreds of protesters burned churches and attacked a courthouse in central Indonesia Tuesday after a Christian convicted of blasphemy against Islam was given what they considered a lenient sentence. Never let a good crisis go to waste. Now do I understand correctly that Islam is a tolerant religion? Tolerant of what? Tolerant of everything the Holy Crayon doesn't give them direct guidance on? Which leaves basically nothing, I guess. Maybe these guys didn't get the memo. |
