Yet in the article only the husband said that. Nobody quoted representing Islam supported the husband's viewpoint.

So how is what happened in the article remotely representative of, "Islam in a nutshell"? It's not.

Some pointing that out apparently puts a unwelcome speed bump under the "Muslims suck and here's more proof" bandwagon, inciting quite vitriolic and nasty personal posts.

Hope all good Christians were in church this Easter morning.

The husband represented Islam by using religion as a weapon of opportunity in her defense. No one said all Muslims are bad. But as usual your myopic vision of what the rest of us who have a hard time trusting, believing or caring about anything related to Islam and its supposed virtues becomes the issue. The realities of the world always seems to get in the way...
