    "I think family fathers are incredibly over-represented when it comes to hiding young girls as sex slaves in the basement, maybe something should be done against family fathers." Sure, however there nothing in a book about family fathers saying that it is fair to have sex slaves. In fact, I am am quite sure that it is said you shouldn't have sex slaves. I know it because last week we had one grand-father who raped his grand-daughter sentenced for 18 years imprisonment at the Crown Court.
    It is too easy to make parallel like this (60 % of violence against women are by their partners, mostly males. Most of pedophiles attacks are by relatives and close family friends). These are smoke screens, diversions of a real problem.
    Acknowledgment of the Muslim Religion having trouble with it commands (some of them) is the first step to overcome the problem. Not by few scholars, but by the majority of the followers. Not that the vast majority of the followers would be terrorists, but they think that the terrorists have some grounds. And even some none Muslims agree on this. We shouldn't be rude, we shouldn't hurt their feelings, we shouldn't criticised or mocked their beliefs. Why?
    Until these "exceptions" or "lone wolves" will not be recognised as exceptions but as products of the religions, the pure applications of religious laws coming from the book (holly one), so the recognition that the Holly Book has to be amended, the Muslims Scholars won't be able to do just that.

    "and frankly unfunny, cartoons" Not relevant, as they were not made to be funny. They were against superstitions and religious claims to be exempt of criticism and untouchable to reason. I want to keep the right to say, to be able to say, that the idea of Mohamed getting on a winged horse to go to Paradise is absurd, or Jesus walking on waters, or graves opening and thousands of dead raising from them.

    "You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."
    "Yeah, lad. But I was holding the metal"
