A friend posted it as a question in IRC to an Egyptian fellow we know. We were waiting for his response as to whether it had any validity or not. We're hoping not. Beyond that, I haven't read up on Islamic (or Catholic) "laws" to know whether or not this is just more religious extremism gone awry.
If it's true, I agree, it's unbelievably offensive - too offensive to be supported by anyone except the very far right conservative muslims.
Extremism in anything is useless and bad.
Stand in the middle of the boat. It's best there.
