For the record, I know you got harped on for just saying "Christians", but you really might as well. They're the only religion making complete asses of themselves... at least as far as America is concerned.

Pursuit of accuracy, not really harping. Your last part is correct “at least as far as America is concerned.” As I stated, because the overwhelming majority of Americans are Christian.

Sure Muslims hate gays, apostates, etc, but AMERICAN Muslims are mostly liberal. Same goes for Jews. You have crazy Zionists in Israel who think everyone else should just die (only after signing over all their land to Israel)... AMERICAN Jews are pretty liberal.

Are we speaking of religious groups officially or individuals of a particular faith? If it is individuals of a particular faith, see my earlier remarks regarding numbers. If we are speaking of groups, not so much. The official Muslim groups condemn the practice. Jewish groups are of mixed opinions, divided along the lines they most often are (conservative, orthodox, reform and Reconstructionist. Christian groups are divided as well.

Zionism is more of a political movement than a religious one but I think I get your meaning. Speaking of Israel, you can’t even marry there unless you are Jewish. That is to say, a Jew can’t marry anyone but a Jew.

There are an estimated 300 thousand American Jews who live at least part of the year in Israel. In America Jews are usually liberal. Not true in Israel.

As for the American Christians... they burn Harry Potter books because it teaches kids witchcraft. Which causes more publicity causing more kids to read Harry Potter, and everybody laughs at the stupid Christians. Logic Fail.

That has got to be a pretty rare event. In fact I can only readily find two instances in the media (2002 in NM and 2003 in MI). Wouldn’t surprise me if more had occurred. I believe there have been cases of bestiality in the US too but I am not about to cite that US citizens like to bang sheep.
