Not only is my home state in the throws of an embarrassingly identical Scopes/Monkey trial, but my narrow-minded family reside there as well.

My cousin Craig, recently turned 16, ordered a copy of the Qur’an off of Amazon because he wanted to understand the people we’re supposedly fighting against.  *sigh* His Mother saw it, snatched it away and said, “I don’t want you reading that!”

We have a copy here, but since he’s still a minor I suppose it would be bad form to go against his Mother’s wishes.  Although her favorite show is Law and Order SVU and because of this Craig knows every damn episode nearly by heart, but don’t you be reading that dirty Qur’an!

It makes my head hurt.  Reminds me of the time my Aunt Kaye was talking about how she accepts her friend who’s a Methodist even though she herself goes to the Church of Christ.  At that time I chose not to explode her brain by saying you, Catholics, Jews and Muslims are all the same damn thing.
