Muslim or Jew? You Decide.

Lately Muslims have become quite popular on college campuses across America, especially at Columbia University where anti-Semitism is a required course for entering freshmen. Young people adore the Palestinians, who are Islamists, a.k.a. Muslims. Following is a snapshot of the rules of that particular religion.

Muslims are prohibited from gambling, fortune-telling, lying, stealing, cheating, oppressing or abusing others, being greedy or stingy, disrespecting parents, and mistreating relatives, orphans or neighbors.

Sounds good, right? Like who wouldn't agree to all that? But then there's this: When an unmarried male commits adultery with an unmarried female, they both receive 100 lashes and banishment from society for one year.  And in the case of a married male committing adultery with a married female, they each shall receive 100 lashes and then be stoned to death. This seems unduly nasty, since if you are going kill the person why bother with the pre-lashing? 

And what if you steal something? How does the Muslim faith treat thieves? Theft is punished by the amputation of the offender's right hand. Armed or highway robbery may be punished by execution, crucifixion, or amputation of hands and feet from opposite sides of the body, depending on the severity of the offense.

Meanwhile, the Jews are much more forgiving. If you're a Jew who commits adultery, all that will happen is that people will gossip about you behind your back, and some people may contact you hoping to hear all the juicy details. As for theft, if it's less than $900 worth of goods, nothing happens at all!

So go ahead and choose. You decide, I just report.
