Lev 24
19 If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him.
Now deep down you must know that if this was a quote from the Quoran as opposed to the Bible you would condemn it as vehemently as we are doing.
It just never ceases to amaze me how religious people leap to the defence of the indefensible.
