Stop the Cutting: Why Muslim Imams Are Against Female Genital Mutilation

Read the story of Waris Dirie. She had this procedure done when she was five years old. She was actually attacked for telling the truth about the struggles she had due to having this done to her.

John Mayer: "My Dick Is Sort of Like a White Supremacist"

No great loss for ladies of non-caucasian ethnicities that this loser won't grant you the "privilege" of coming near his scuzzy member. Damn, is he full of himself! He really thinks he's all that? He ain't nothing. I'm white, and I find myself disgusted that this pig would even vaguely consider my vagina something he'd come near. Actually, he wouldn't. I'm no "hottie." And at this moment, I'm very glad of this.

Yep, them white supremacist jokes about yer d*ick go over real good at the KKK meetin', John. It's your turn to bring the 'shine this week.

Pastor Joel Osteen's Sugar-Coated Homophobia

@Shawn Hopper

You say that "Gay marriage is not a Civil Rights issue in the same way that granting multiple driver's licenses to accommodate a schizophrenic's multiple identities is not a Civil Rights issue."

Wow, what an ignorant, biased statement. Learn something about the condition before you go spouting off about it. Schizophrenic individuals do not have "multiple personalities." Persons with dissociative identity disorder have multiple personalities.

Your statement that nobody holds persons with conditions such as bipolar disorder "responsible" for experiencing them is also false. Individuals with any sort of mental illness are often believed to be choosing to behave or feel a certain way and if they would just "pull themselves up by their boot straps" and "stop thinking like that" they could. There are also "good" Christians who believe that those with mental illness are "possessed by demons" and if we "just found Jesus and started praying" our mental illnesses would be resolved.

Homosexuality is neither a mental illness nor a "choice." And as a person with mental illness, I can say I have known far many more kind, decent homosexuals who treat me as a human being and not as some sort of defective than I have known Christians who can say the same. I do know a person with dissociative identity disorder and she was treated with the worst disdain by the church in which she tried to find acceptance. They did treat her as if she was demon possessed. If this is such a good, fine, and loving religion, I have yet to see it.
