This is exactly the reason we are struggling in this war against radical Islamist terrorism. All religious texts are the problem? I haven’t seen a massive effort by the Jews to conquer and enslave all peoples of the world - but especially Americans - based on selective quotations from the Old Testament. Have you? (The quotes are in there.)

The radical Islamists are our enemy, and we cannot seem to face up to precisely that fact. There simply must be a more appropriate action to take than stripping all religious texts.

If the threat of a lawsuit prompted the scope of this action, it is a reminder of the many ways in which our individual freedom to act is constrained by the fear of harassment lawsuits. I am reminded of the recent case where two clerks in a convenience store cornered a thief, struck him repeatedly, and held him until the police arrived. They were fired. Probably because the company feared a harassment lawsuit - by the criminal. Another case Book brought up: a teenage girl gang severely beat up another girl while all the adults nearby averted their eyes. Why? Perhaps our societal requirement to stay involved has been stripped by fear of lawsuits, since it is safer to simply not get involved.

To not take the right action, in this case of violent Islamist texts, and all the other cases, is a slow-burning threat to the quality of our society.

They’re just using the same method that Arafat used on the Jews. Create a sense of oppression, maintain that sense, and then use it to justify atrocities as “expectable behavior”.
