Child abuse in primary schools isnt systematically covered up and facilitated by the people in charge.

If the driver is a woman then its probably poorly maintained(ducks for cover)
Quote:If you did judge a religion by it's people then what about it's peaceful followers? You contradicted yourself there! I win the debate.
Have you considered that there were many aztecs that didnt participate in the ritual sacrifices at the altar, does that mean that their religion was a religion of peace?
And it also says that killing in the name of god is good. That means Islam is a mass of contradictions that cannot stay true even to itself.

Well the Quran has a simple method of dealing with contradictions, later verses overwrite earlier ones. To bad all the later violent contradicting verses over-right the peaceful ones, making I literately a book of hate.
