As to the scribes and Pharisees, he was warning them about the results of their beliefs and much of his contempt resulted from his awareness of their hypocrisy and twisting of the Law to their advantage.
Well, DUH!.
What did you imagine that my point was?
What are the results of the beliefs of Muslims? Murder, for one. Rape, as we have seen with reporter in Egypt.
Let's see, unprovoked attacks on women and children just because they happen to be Jews. Somewhere Hitler is smiling.
Slavery. It wasn't until the '60s that Saudi Arabia outlawed the practice, at least formally. We know for a fact that it still goes on in Africa. For that matter, far more blacks went east than ever came to America.
Poverty, ignorance, an intense sense of victimhood accompanied by an unbelievable mountain of unjustified arrogance.
Islam deserves to be disrespected, for it has done nothing to deserve respect. This is OK in itself. But thenit DEMANDS that respect, which it has not earned, and plans to kill you if you don't give it.
Well, when I become aware that someone wants to kill me, I lose my own inhibitions concerning him.
