Once again, Motley, how many instances of such punishments can you cite that took place in the USA? None. But remember the Salem witch trials in good old America, by good old Anglo-Saxon Christians. Remember the hundreds of years of horrible murder by Christians in Europe, over European religious law and doctrine. Certainly those were medieval times, but the Muslim nations in which such atrocities take place are medieval societies.

I have known or met a hundred Muslims in the US, mostly immigrants and refugees from Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan; US citizens from Egypt, Pakistan, Lebanon and India; and students with visas from Lebanon, Iran, Pakistan and India. Most were "observant" to one degree or another, but all were peace-loving. Now contrast them to our so-called Christians who, in this century so far, have participated in the gruesome slaughter of over a half million Muslims in their own homes, children women and the elderly along with fighters.
