Pity the Poor Muslims?

At a White House press briefing yesterday, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre sai, in response to a question about the recent documented rise of antisemitism in America, “But look -- Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks.”

Oh, boo-hoo -- the poor Muslims! Forget the Jews, who could not love a Muslim? After all, their religion is so wholesome, including such things as praying five time a day to Allah (God), no alcohol ever, fasting for a month every year and disallowing all gambling and fraud. This are all pretty commendable, if you ask me. However.....

At a Muslim wedding, the bride does not even have to be present. All that is needed are two witnesses to a signed document. How fun for her, and what a load off! Meanwhile, the lucky groom can take up to four wives! How fun for him!

As for engaging in sex outside of marriage, which is called adultery even for the unmarried, the punishment for the woman only may range from nothing at all to 80 lashes, or jail time, or stoning, or execution, depending on the circumstances. (I wonder what "circumstances" get you dead.)

Concerning thievery, the punishment is amputation of the offender's right hand. Armed robbery may be punished by execution, crucifixion, or amputation of hands and feet from opposite sides of the body. I bet that keeps the crime rate down.

Really, who could hate such imaginative, fun-loving people? Not me, Hamas, in case you're reading this.
