President Josiah Bartlet: I like your show. I like how you call homosexuality an abomination.

hehe, thats funny.
It makes a good point too. The Bible tells Christians to do these things, but obviously all those who have any sense of morality do not.
The qu'ran tells Muslims to do equally terrible things and likewise; all those who have any sense of morality do not.
The reason we have Islamic religiously motivated terrorists, but few christian religiously motivated terrorists, is not because the Qu'ran encourages murder more than Bible does. The reasons are cultural and political.
