Yeah, when is the last time Christians called for beheading of an author?

Ever hear of James Joyce? Supposedly, he received some death threats after Ulysses

"Ever hear of James Joyce?"

I don't know, I wasn't there. However, JK Rowling equating Christians to Islamic fundamentalists is outrageous.

Joyce makes me too sleepy to kill.

OK. How about Christian leaders calling for the beheading of an author? Even in other countries?

Sure there are the occasional nutbags like Fred Phelps and his little girl Shirley, but are they actually representative of Christian Fundamentalism? Because frankly, the title "Evangelical" has been coopted/commandeered by the religious left like Jim Wallis, Tony Campolo, Brian McLaren, Rob Bell and others, and the left has coopted the title "Fundamentalist" to illustrate people like Westboro Westbroodofvipers Baptist... so who are the ones in between there? We get lumped in with Shirley Phelps Roper and her hateful bunch simply because we avoid fads for cryin out loud!

I googled “James Joyce death threats and Ulysses” and nothing came up. Were the threats you mention specifically from Christians?
