There is one religion I despise more than anything else in the world. I will not name it, but it won't be hard to guess from my description. Whereas the Jews circumcise babies on the eighth day (I loathe the practice), the other religion waits until the boys are old enough to witness the full ordeal. The practitioners of this creed do no allow the right to criticise or discuss. Its laws are excessively severe. There are only three possible outcomes; death, physical punishment, or release (sometimes in combination with a fine). The latter outcome is the rarest. The mentally ill are treated just as harshly as the sound-minded. Children are not spared. Women are of no use except as servants, chattels and sexual objects. The slightest transgression is treated with the utmost savagery. Foreigners disproportionally fall foul of its laws.
This religion's followers set up colonies abroad. They are subject to much more enlightened laws, yet complain of persecution. Some of the faithful demand the right to introduce religious law into their new homes.They do not seem able to embrace the concepts of freedom and democracy, yet use this tool to bite the hand that feeds them. Freedom and democracy are unknown in those parts of the world within its tentacles, just as they were in thirteenth-century Europe.
When I lived in London, I remember some of the vile filth that came through my letterbox in the form of pamphlets, which were printed at one of this religion's place of worship. These particular devotees were calling for homosexuals to be put to death.
What the hell is going on?
