Oh right, so an allegation that one guy was anally raped is enough to say that 'branches' of Islam want to do that. Lack of denial is not proof of anything, let alone that it was approved of by anyone. I never saw that allegation anyway - I thought he'd died from asphyxiation.Doctor Fate wrote:danivon wrote:So why mention it?
Because it was alleged that Christopher Stevens was assaulted in that manner--an allegation that has not been denied.

A new Pew Research Center survey of Muslims around the globe finds that most adherents of the world’s second-largest religion are deeply committed to their faith and want its teachings to shape not only their personal lives but also their societies and politics. In all but a handful of the 39 countries surveyed, a majority of Muslims say that Islam is the one true faith leading to eternal life in heaven and that belief in God is necessary to be a moral person. Many also think that their religious leaders should have at least some influence over political matters. And many express a desire for sharia – traditional Islamic law – to be recognized as the official law of their country.
