It’s hard to not feel hateful sometimes

In the Sudan, Muslims are demanding a woman be put to death for allowing her class to name a stuffed toy Mohammed. In Saudi Arabia, a woman has been sentenced to 200 lashes because she was raped by seven men and her lawyer dared to appeal the original sentence of 90 lashes. Oh yeah, and the lawyer was stripped of his right to practice law.  I hear this, and precious little full scale outrage from supposedly moderate Islamic groups who claim these fanatics do not represent true Islam, and I think, “Really?” Because from where I’m sitting, sign me up for any group that will make sure these people never, ever have a say in anything that ever happens in the world again. How hateful can you get and still claim to represent some sort of god?
