ESPN’s Dana Jacobson said “F— Jesus” at a January 11th roast for ESPN Radio personalities Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic at Atlantic City, and ESPN handed her a week’s suspension. She is profusely apologizing all over the place. I’m sure if she had said “F— N-ers” her career would have been ruined for life, but compare and contrast that story with these:

In Pakistan, a tribal council ordered a woman to be gang-raped as punishment for her brother’s supposed liaison with a woman from another tribe.

In San Francisco, a young Muslim woman was shot dead after she uncovered her hair and put on makeup in order to be a maid of honor at a friend’s wedding.

In Tehran, a father beheaded his 7-year-old daughter because he suspected that she had been raped; he said he acted “to defend my honor, fame, and dignity.”

In Saudi Arabia, the Islamic police prevented schoolgirls from leaving a burning building because they were not wearing headscarves and abayas; 15 of the girls died in the inferno.

The president of Cairo’s Al-Azhar University, a renowned center of Islamic learning, described the proper method of wife-beating in a television interview: “It’s not really beating,” Sheikh Ahmad Al-Tayyeb explained on Egyptian television. “It’s more like punching.”

Hmmm…I don’t like what the ESPN woman said, but I’m sure Jesus would not wish her harm over it. Ever. Might be the wrong thing for her to say come Judgement Day, but that day isn’t today or you wouldn’t be reading this.

Seems to me Islam is about adhering to a bunch of rules and regulations and going through motions of religious piety, all in the hopes of not offending Mohammed.

Jesus called people like that white-washed tombs, clean on the outside, but inside full of death.
