Fundamentalists in any religion see only their own sets of rules

Anchorage Daily News

When it comes down to it, the fundamentalist Islamic belief in the sin of immodesty is no different from the fundamentalist Christian belief in the sin of homosexuality. Both sets of fundamentalists would happily give offenders a good stoning, and both rail against society's attempts to moderate their views. Demanding the religious freedom to discriminate in every way against homosexuals because the Bible says it's God's will is not OK. Not in an educated, understanding and tolerant society. No more OK, in fact, than requiring that women wear burqas. [Link]
