What gives?

While trying to enjoy a quiet vacacation, I happened across a news report about the Texas polygamist trial set to begin tomorrow. That pumped me right up!

If you don't know, Warren Jeffs is the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon), which believes polygamy is the key to Heaven. And he is being accused of having multiple wives, some as young as 12, as well as many other false imprisonment related charges. I suppose that if he is convicted he stands to serve some serious prison time.

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't support much of anything Momonism has to offer, especially what Jeffs is being accused of. But,on the otherhand, to me, Islam is far worse.

Yes, Jeffs has done some pretty weird things in the name of his religion, but his conduct only effects those that are in his commune, and many of his followers have chose that lifestyle themselves. His actions have never harmed anyone on the "Outside."

But far more dangerous to all of us are the actions of Islamic radicals. You see, their laws encourage violence not only against their own, but to anyone who does not accept their ways. Sharia law allows fathers to give away their daughters for marriage at age 11, or cut off the tongues of their disrespectful sons. It allows the leaders to cut off the hands of their own for violating thier law. It allows for the murder of any non-Muslim, and then rewards the muderer with the promise of a kindom filled with prostitutes after his death.

They plan attacks against the infidels from the comfort of their mosques, and even recruit outsiders to carry out their mission. And their mission is to control the earth.

Yet, in America, we not only tolerate Islam, but engourage it. Our courts many times refuse to enforce our Constitutional law and values on Muslims, and often refuse to prosecute them for the atrocities done in the name of Allah against our very own people. We reward them by allowing more and more Mosques to be built even at the doorstep of the Twin Towers.

So, why are we going to such a length to prosecute Warren Jeffs, and the other Mormon whackos of the past, while we ignore the acts of radical Islam?
