Double Standards in Religious Freedom

Warren Jeffs is an asshole.

I just wanted to be clear on that right up front. I'm watching Anderson Cooper 360, and they are going on and on about how evil the FLDS is. Don't get me wrong, I agree whole heartedly. For those of you who don't know, let me describe the FLDS to you:

1. They are polygamists.

2. They bear no allegiance to the United States, only their prophet.

3. They treat women like cattle, forcing servitude and even under-age marriages.

4. They recognize only the Law of the Prophet, and do not suffer the law of the land (unless they get caught, I guess).

5. They are rife with corruption and justification of heinous behavior.

Does this sound familiar?

If we can persecute these people (and I believe that we should), then why is it wrong to treat Muslims like ass?

Just a little food for thought...
