Obama's Enemies List: A Growing List of Obama's Enemies

Aaron Goldstein is pretty fired up about two things: the World Series, and sharia law . As for the latter, I’m pretty sure he’s referencing a particular Quranic sura ( 2:282 ) that reads: … and if there are not two men, then a man and two women , such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her. I’m simply going to leave it to our savvy readership to decide just how wicked this verse is — and how open to interpretation it might be. My point from the very beginning was that sharia is highly interpretive, as opposed to inherently insidious. It’s an ancient religious text that can be understood from a galaxy of different perspectives. As we all know, there’s clearly nothing in the Old Testament that could possibly hint at misogyny. Heaven forbid a seventh-century text make amends for women’s interest in legal matters, or spare them the full burden of testimony.
