[Regarding a new law in Iran to give the death penalty to pornographers]
It's funny how much higher standards Muslim countries have about certain things. Like porn, modesty, and homosexuality. I heard from a missionary in Afghanistan that the villagers were appalled by the rebellion the Americans produced in the youth when one of their young boys wore a baseball cap backwards.

The sad thing is, most of what R2W has said, in other parts of the forum, has been pretty sensible. Methinks Run hath stared far too long into the abyss.
I think that people who kill people who disent, that tolerate honor killings and do drugs more than we do have anything to scandalise about when a guy wears a cap backwards(let alone that they´re the first pornography consumers, in the closet, of course)
To be fair, perhaps Run is just speaking of higher standards in general, and not better ones. I would hope so anyway. If that is the case, the administration can pull this quote if they want.
You would do well in Iran, I'm sure. Just substitute "God" for "Allah," and there you have it: your own religion staring you in the face, nearly.
Endorsing murder and likely, genocide. How Christian of you.
You guys are a bunch of sick fucks, you know that, right?
Read Bro. Randy's response in the thread (posted as ImaSaved1). He accuses Muslims of being merciless and worshipping works, while at the same time condemning all the same things they hate.
Is that a plank in your eye, Randy?

I posted the wrong quote. I should have given Bro. Randy's instead. :(
Because wearing a backwards baseball cap is so much more horrid than the fact that their country has been reduced to rubble from all the internal war and constant bombings, right?
Way to prioritize, chimp.
And yet you just know the vast majority of T4C guys are just as avid consumers of online porn as any other normal net-using guy. The difference is that while most normal guys aren't likely to discuss their porn preferences with others, I don't think too many of us are ashamed of it enough to say we don't.
@RunToWin
Did I ever say that Muslim countries should be a role model? I don't believe I did. I did say that they hold to a higher standard in the area of porn than the United States (and the United States is NOT a Christian country). That is merely a statement of fact.
Now, here is my statement of opinion. I think that most Muslims take their faith more seriously than most self-proclaimed Christians. That is something to be sad over.
On a side note, why can't some things from a Muslim country ever be held as a "role model"? For instance, Muslims and Arabs in particular a known for their hospitality. They will allow themselves to go nearly broke to feed and house their guests. Shouldn't Christians try to emulate this hospitality to the Christian community?
Looks like we can wipe this quote now. False alarm, and all that.
My respect for RTW has been restored! :D
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
