    If you’re making the pilgrimage, required of all Muslims, but are also committing sexual assault, while doing the pilgrimage, how religious should we consider you?

    What do you think @SnarkShark?

    No, but if you make the leap that this must mean all Muslims condone sexual assault, the way @YankeeFan did with that Newsweek editor's bad take on child abuse, then you're an anti-Muslim bigot.

    Tarantino is a pretty awful person:

    That Tarantino’s apologia is disingenuous in the era of #MeToo could come as a surprise if you’re unfamiliar with the director’s love of depicting women having the shit kicked out of them on camera or if you’re unfamiliar with interviews he’s done in the past. Like, for example, this 2003 Howard Stern interviewsubmitted to us by a reader in which he adamantly defends Roman Polanski’s sexual assault of a 13-year-old in 1977.

    Asked by Stern why Hollywood embraces “this mad man, this director who raped a 13-year-old,” Tarantino replied:

    “He didn’t rape a 13-year-old. It was statutory rape...he had sex with a minor. That’s not rape. To me, when you use the word rape, you’re talking about violent, throwing them down—it’s like one of the most violent crimes in the world. You can’t throw the word rape around. It’s like throwing the word ‘racist’ around. It doesn’t apply to everything people use it for.”


    Reminded by Robin Quivers that Polanski’s victim—who had been plied with quaaludes and alcohol before her assault—did not want to have sex with Polanski, Tarantino became riled up.

    Tarantino: No, that was not the case AT ALL. She wanted to have it and dated the guy and—

    Quivers: She was 13!

    Tarantino: And by the way, we’re talking about America’s morals, not talking about the morals in Europe and everything.

    Stern: Wait a minute. If you have sex with a 13-year-old girl and you’re a grown man, you know that that’s wrong.

    Quivers: ...giving her booze and pills...

    Tarantino: Look, she was down with this.

    Tarantino is cooked.

    He might have weathered the Thurman/car accident thing, but not a mansplanation of Roman Polanski.

    Never expand your remarks.

    Super-fast turnaround time off lakefront's post. Are you a bot?

    He'll be OK if he apologizes and says he's seen the error of his ways. This was 15 years ago.
