25. The Problem With this, Sir, Is Simple
There is something very wrong, from a left and progressive view, with the notion that any disparraging treatment of any religious text be viewed as a matter for execution under law. That such a belief is widely held, anywhere, in regard to anything, is a problem. Persons who believe in a religion have no right to enforce their views on others by law, or by mob or any other form of violence, and persons who are willing to do so are a problem, regardless of what confession it is that they profess.
