The Truth (About Islam) May Set You Freer Than You'd Like
As I've written here before, I used to believe Islam was just another religion. Just a slightly different flavor from Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, etc.

I've been reading about Islam since 9/11, and I've gotten pretty informed about it, and I have to say, I'm shocked about what it's really about. For example, one of the things I know is that the peaceful, "let's all get along" bits earlier in the Quran are "abrogated" by the later, violence-demanding passages. People who aren't informed about Islam don't know this and point to them -- as do some Muslims who are either uninformed about how Islam and the Quran work, and as do other Muslims who want to pretend their religion is a religion of peace, when it is anything but.

Well, this Florida public servant, Palm Beach County Administrator Bob Weisman, to my knowledge, was absolutely correct in what he said about Islam on his Facebook post, but the county, disgustingly, is deciding whether or not to discipline him, according to The Blaze's Oliver Darcy.

That post:

"Never forget. There is no such thing as radical Islam. All Islam is radical. There may be Muslims who don't practice their religion, much like others. The Quran is a book that preaches hate," the message said, according to WPTV.

Weisman said that if Jamason were not a "merit system employee who is protected by State law from arbitrary termination" he may have been fired by now.

"If he was an at-will employee, for which I do have more discretion, I would be considering his termination today for the ignorance of his comments and that they are hurtful to part of our community," Weisman told WPTV.

It's so disgusting -- what's hurtful to the world at large is the fact that the Quran is to be taken literally and unquestioningly as the word of god, and that so many people adhere to the absolutely evil things it (and the Hadith, etc.) command.
