Discriminating aginst someone who chooses to refuse to adhere to minimal civilized standards is not the same as discriminating against someone for things they have no control over, such as their physical characteristics or attributes. You will find that we conservatives are big on justice, and prejudice is an sin against justice.

LOL! Christianity is not a physical characteristic or attribute. Those who would discriminate against Christians, say, the Hildebeast, or in favor of Christians, or Muslims for that matter, could easily argue they are merely enforcing "minimal civilized standards". How would you argue against them, when they are using your own argument?

Ooops.

The Taliban was merely enforcing its interpretation of "mininal civilized standards" and we return to the question posed at the start of this thread. Assuming you think this would be a bad thing, what is your argument against it?

Oh, that's right, I forgot - you support it fully, it's even part of your name, Jihad. You apparently support a holy war against your "cultural" enemies. Which places you in a pretty funny position with respect to discussion of morality. Do you support homicide bombings of those who disagree with you, in keeping with other Jihadists around the world?

(Note to self: must remember to keep in mind the intentions of Jihadists.)
