re: #481 Stuart Leviton

Would I want to see anyone put on a tree? Taking the phrase in the biblical sense (see the Hebrew for Deuteronomy 21:22) where the phrase means to execute someone by hanging, there are very few people I would want to see put on a tree. Certainly here in the United States, I oppose the death penalty for it is used freely.

But answering your good question, I would not put Mohamed on a tree (with reference to the Danish cartoons).

I don’t need the textual criticism lesson on the hebrew scriptures, it’s one of my prime education areas, and you were well aware that I was not talking about hanging.
