Texans don't prejudge Christians for sex scandals.

Texans know that not all Christians are pedophiles, and should show the same respect to Muslims and stop anti-Islam bigotry.

Over the last few weeks in my area (Central Texas) the political ads by almost every GOP candidate has focused on Muslims - emphasizing "Sharia law". Even though there is never any evidence of a case.

But this really did shock me...."On average, a Christian pastor is arrested for a sex crime involving a Texas child twice a month, raising questions about whether churches are safe places for young people.

I would suggest that they have the wrong focus. However, the hypocrisy and bigorty does not surprise me at all.
