Under Islamic Law, homosexuals - men and women alike - must be killed. Women must be subservient. And people following other religions must be killed.

Those are things that work.

I know a lot of people in Washington would say, well, you know, indigent people can't manage their health savings account. They're too stupid. But they're not too stupid.
