The course description reads like a blueprint for a mill that manufactures animatronic Stepford broads.

Right wing fundies are batsh*t crazy no matter what religion they infest:

Bangladeshi writer attacked

Author accused of promoting women’s rights in Quran escapes unscathed
Aug 10, 2007
HYDERABAD, India - Dozens of Muslim protesters led by three lawmakers attacked an exiled Bangladeshi writer at the release of her book in southern India on Thursday, calling her “anti-Islam,” and telling her to go back to her country.

About 100 people burst into the Press Club in Hyderabad, shouting insults at Taslima Nasrin and ransacking the place, throwing chairs in the air and overturning tables.

Organizers pushed them back, and Nasrin escaped unhurt. In the melee, one of the protesters slapped her, witnesses said.

The protesters belonged to the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen political party in Andhra Pradesh state. Police detained nearly all the 100 protesters, including the three lawmakers, said N. Madhusudan Reddy, the deputy commissioner.

Nasrin fled Bangladesh in 1994 when Islamic extremists threatened to kill her after an Indian newspaper quoted her as saying changes must be made to the Islamic holy book, the Quran, to give women more rights.

She has vehemently denied making the comments but still faces death threats from Islamic hard-liners in Bangladesh, where one of her books is banned.

I am a little lost here.

I should say so. LGF is down the hall and on the far right.

“We are moving against the tide in order to establish family and gender roles as described in God’s word for the home and the family,”

You said a mouthful, buddy.

I am a little lost here. How does a home-ec course equate to chopping off fingers for smoking or killing somebody because they put cucumbers and tomatoes in the same shopping bag?

“…biblical family and gender roles…”

Like when Delilah cut off Samson’s hair and rendered the big fella powerless.

Having a hard time feeling the pain on the destruction of the denomination. Jackass does sum it up nicely. Somehow, I think the nation won’t have any problem surviving.
