Your tagline calling Hagar "whore" expresses a hatefulness uncalled for by Western religious tradition. The Lord evinces an active sympathy for her in her servitude to Sarah. Hagar's son Ishmael was beloved of Abraham, and along with his brother Isaac buried their father in the appointed site. In fact, Jewish scholars argued that the first wife that Abraham took after Sarah's death, Keturah, was in fact the very same Hagar, her new name reflecting her uplifted moral standing.

Let's leave the baseless hatred to the Islamists, shall we?

P.S. That poster you reprinted was a good catch. The Islamists are never so hateful as when dealing with each other.
