Indeed the Christian bible is replete with god-sanctioned actions that today would be considered atrocities and crimes against humanity. Of course, I'm sure I'm going to get a dissertation on why that is different, but then I will also get a similar dissertation if I take your passages to the Islamic leaders here in the U.S. about how those passages are being misapplied by conservative Muslims. It's part of the problem of trying to determine "truth" and "morality" from texts such as the Bible and the Quran.

As for your Dearborn story, I am not finding anything of concern. That people make choices out of short-term fears or concerns that end up being not legal is not new. It has been done by Christians, to Christians, by Muslims, to Muslims, by atheists, to atheists, and the list goes on. We live in an "anti-Islamic" country right now - where there is a great deal of anti-immigrant and anti-Islam sentiment. Over-reactions are going to happen. In this case, the legal system worked exactly as it was supposed to. No problems as far as I can tell.
