My reaction was to the report that this woman was yet again brutalized, in another country, before being sent back to Libya. Her abusers are vile criminals, and not representative of any larger group. I suppose if abuse never occured in this part of the world, my post would have a leg to stand on, but sadly...

But, having said that, those people are all crazier than bedbugs. Please don’t take this as an endorsement, or criticism, of any religion, because I think they are all equally screwy.
