Of goats and men

A week or so ago, Laer posted fairly lightheartedly about a Sudanese man and his goat, and I sent you over there (along with a bad joke). The same bestiality issue in that story appears in a more serious vein, with someone losing a job for stating a fact, which Laer also follows. As you read Laer’s latest post, you may also want to read this and this, both of which I found thanks to a comment Ymarsakar left. Clearly, the matters in Laer’s post and my links are fringe activities (or at least I hope they are), and I’m willing to bet everything I own that the vast majority of Muslims do not follow these unsavory precepts. Still, these things are out there, and it’s shameful to fire someone for stating the truth — although, without knowng what he said, I’m willing to be he could have done it more tactfully and more factually.
