And let the familiarity with them all lead people to the truth.
Fair enough. And... for the record, I'm concerned about extreme Christianity, and Judaism as well.

We didn't get into a discussion concerning Rifqa Bary, the Islamic girl who converted to Christianity, and then accused her parents of plotting to murder her. It was a case tangentially similar to the FLDS case we discussed a long time ago, where a child(ren) was removed from (hostile) parents without due process. I hope it is clear I'm trying to be consistent, where the issue is the fair application of secular law. Separation of church and state would suggest that the State should be tolerant of all religious practices, except where they violate State, and local laws, whether that be the age of marriage, or the murder of apostate children.

But, all this started from an off the cuff remark I made about the mosque as a case where there was a legal position, and a moral position which may be at odds. No one seems to care about Google selling out Net Neutrality, I guess.
