Barbaric textbooks handed out in Saudi Arabian schools teach children how to cut off a thief's hands and feet under Sharia law, it has emerged.The shocking books, paid for and printed by the Saudi government, also tell teenagers that Jews need to be exterminated and homosexuals should be 'put to death'.Recent editions were obtained by the Institute for Gulf Affairs in Washington, D.C., which says they should raise fears in the West over the use of jihadist language.

Yes it is barbaric and evil. But, it is even more than that. Super powerful religion is controlling, is based on fear, and demands ignorance in order to thrive.

This should be a lesson. The Qua-ran is very similar to the old testament. And the old testament is here in the US. And, it is gaining power through division, fear, and prejudice.

There is no such thing as Islamophobia. Bigotry and racism exist, of course—and they are evils that all well-intentioned people must oppose. And prejudice against Muslims or Arabs, purely because of the accident of their birth, is despicable. But like all religions, Islam is a system of ideas and practices. And it is not a form of bigotry or racism to observe that the specific tenets of the faith pose a special threat to civil society. Nor is it a sign of intolerance to notice when people are simply not being honest about what they and their co-religionists believe. Sam Harris

Muslims: living a life of delusional inflexibility and loving it? Or not.

one more reason religion is a very dangerous set of myths that threaten the very foundation of mankind, civilization, and basic decency. This is exactly why religion should be completely absent from govnt., and children. It should be criminal to abuse the mind of a child before age of consent with religion.
