Intolerance

With all the talk - and actions - of religious intolerance going on these days, working in a religion department is an interesting place to be. It's cool to see the people I've come to admire do all in their power to educate the community against such intolerance.

It's also frustrating to hear of parents calling our department, angry that their son or daughter is being taught the Koran.

Ignorance is the greatest enemy of freedom. We must all work towards an educated society.

On that note, a professor sent this map around yesterday. And to think that these are only the reported crimes...
