    Go through her tweets, seriously: Rukmini Callimachi (@rcallimachi) | Twitter

    He knew more than the basics. He knew exactly what he was doing.

    I didn't say that happened or that it was possible (even though families of suicide bombers in Iraq were paid by AQ). It's merely pointing out his motives still aren't crystal clear due to his utterance of an easily Googleable phrase.

    So, where are you getting your information from that a Christian must follow Leviticus? That's on you, not me.

    I'm not sure of any theologian, affiliated with a major domination of Christianity, who would say a Christian is bound by it.

    I'm not, because I'm not a practicing Catholic.

    The Catholic beliefs regarding homosexuality and abortion are founded in the Old Testament. Why would you say the Church should adopt those Old Testament restrictions , but not some other?

    Where are you getting your information that Muslims must follow all teachings of the Koran?

    Ex-journalist. I think it's a clumsy, boneheaded distraction. If there is a legit reason they can't release that part, they should wait and do it all at once. But they clearly aren't fooling anyone.

    It's not about what "I" say.

    What does the Pope say? What does the your local Cardinal or Bishop say? How about the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith say?

    Is there any prominent theologian -- hell, is there any non-prominent theologian -- affiliated with a major Christian denomination who says Christians are bound by Leviticus?

    Yes. I have a problem with it. Saw someone say it was solely an FBI decision to not provide ISIS with propaganda material, but it seems ridiculous to me.

    Baron, do you know what the Koran is?

    It is the literal word of Allah, as transcribed by Mohammad.

    There is no room for "interpreting" Allah's word. You're not even supposed to read the Koran in any language other than Arabic, so there's no confusion with translation.

    Who said it was an "FBI" decision?

    I haven't seen it definitively reported as to who made the decision, and I haven't seen a lot of interest in determining the answer to who made the decision either.

    That's what the Christian Bible is, too, right? Except Jesus overturned, either explicitly or by inference, some of the more violent Old Testament material?

    Not quite.
