Yeah, no one has ever been thrown off a building in a Christian nation. Amazing argument.

I've been missing some deep, deep conversation these past few hours. I still equate an extremist from any religion as equal to any other religious extremist.

You missed the point. Does the U.S. have some Christian equivalent of Sharia law that's commonplace? Come on now, you can do better than that.

I'll ask this another way. Is getting thrown off a roof for being gay a systemic problem in U.S. culture?

Nope. But that's a markedly different statement than, "If they were a modern Christian nation nobody would be getting thrown off buildings. Period."

I don't know if there are any Christian nations left, but in the rest of the civilized world (use that term loosely) if someone throws someone off a building it's a crime. Even if that person represents the law or is sworn to uphold the law, even a police officer it's a crime. No way around it. If a cop did it there would be an investigation, an internal investigation, a state investigation, and possibly a federal investigation to see if the victim's civil rights were violated. No one in their right mind would consider it justice. Not in the press, not in the courts, no where.

However in sharia law it is that law that allows them to throw them off a building.

Just plain naive logic.

At the heart of the weekend conversation between Mr. Trump and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was a deal struck with the Obama administration that would allow mostly Muslim refugees rejected by Australia to be resettled in the United States.

So it's OK for Australia to reject the refugees, permanently I take it, but it's not OK to temporarily suspend citizens' travel from seven countries?
