If we are to accept in the aftermath of the ‘Duck Dynasty’
controversy that criticism of homosexual activity represents “hate speech,” then
the Qur’an, which advocates stoning gay people to death, should also be
denounced as hate speech and banned.

According to Democratic Party political pollster Bernard Whitman,
who appeared
on Fox News yesterday, along with a plethora of other leftists, Phil
Robertson’s comments are hateful and said they shouldn’t be allowed to be aired
in public.
Yet the Qur’an, which clearly states that homosexuality is
punishable by violent torture and death, is not subjected to anywhere near the
same level of vitriol as that leveled against Phil Robertson by leftists. Why is
that?
Let’s contrast what Robertson said in comparison to what the
Qur’an says about homosexuals;
Robertson: “It seems like, to me, a vagina — as a
man — would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just
thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes!
You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not
logical…Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there.
Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and
those men.”
Qur’an (7:80-84) -
“…For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a
people transgressing beyond bounds…. And we rained down on them a shower (of
brimstone). Then see what was the end of those who indulged in sin and
crime!”
The Qur’an’s use of the term “shower of brimstone” is interpreted
by Muslim scholars to mean stoning somebody to death. The story is also repeated
in suras 27 and 29.
As
we illustrated earlier, not only the Qur’an but also the Christian Bible
should be banned under this framework because both can be considered hate speech
as they incite violence against homosexuals.
Despite the Qur’an’s advocacy of stoning homosexuals to death, in
addition to its recommendation that husbands
beat their wives, it is virtually unheard of for prominent leftists to be
critical of Islam, and yet the venom spewed in the direction of Robertson for
asserting that homosexuality is a sin has been unrelenting.
Indeed, when Bernard Whitman complained that TV networks were
allowing religion to be “used as a weapon to spew hate,” he wasn’t referring to
the religion of Islam, despite the fact that it advocates far more brutal
treatment of gays than anything Robertson stated.
We have a choice. Either we allow the unrestricted flow of free
speech in the public area and accept that people will be offended and given the
right to reply, or we use the power of the state to designate certain beliefs as
“hate speech” and deliberately restrict them from appearing in the public
arena.
If we go for the second option, billions of copies of the Bible
and the Qur’an will have to be removed from tens of millions of churches
throughout the world.
