I realize the show for today is over, nonetheless, I want to express how frankly horrified I am by the inflexibility and lack of ...compassion for other religions and other people several of the callers from the US exhibited.
This kind of attitude is embarrassing to me as an American, as it relays an extreme lack of education and understanding of other people in the world, which is quite disturbing, especially when they decide to kill people who don't agree with their religious ideas. I'm thinking specifically of killing doctors who perform abortions. There is no sense of the bigger picture. For example, that more women die when safe abortions are not legal; and who is taking care of all these extra children if you don't allow abortions? Hasn't anyone noticed the hunger and homelessness problems in this country (and others), not to mention the abuse and neglect of children, and overpopulation? And in these "Christian" communities, you are ostracized if you get pregnant, regardless of how it happened.
As I mentioned, the ignorance and inflexibility astounds me.
These people don't seem to realize we are living in a free country, which specifically includes freedom of religion.
Thank you for your show; and for bringing up these issues.
