How the Islamist Mindset Rationalizes — and Promotes — ‘Sex Sins’
Shechild, emergent pillage, and Omar
Read Leviticus and Deuteronomy. They are chock full of laws that most of us would find abhorrent.
I realize that there is a new covenant and that Leviticus and Deuteronomy have supposedly been supplanted, but that doesn’t seem to have sunk in with a wide swath of Christians who continue to quote them to support their own prejudices. Keep in mind that the new covenant means the the 10 commandments are out, the rules against homosexuality are out, etc; it doesn’t just mean that you don’t have to eat kosher*.
I can agree that fundamentalist Islam is oppressive and I have no desire to see it spread, but I feel that way about all fundamentalist and literalist religious movements.
* though if you live in the desert and don’t have access to modern tech it might not be a bad idea
