"Radical Christianity is as threatening as radical Islam"Rosie O'Donnell on "The View" last week
ROSIE O'Donnell is a rich, self-proclaimed lesbian celebrity, who has been able to adopt four children in far less time than the usual rigmarole ordinary mortals undergo.
Since she apparently believes radical Islam and radical Christianity are equivalent, perhaps we could imagine what kind of life she would be living in a country where radical Muslims, rather than "radical Christians," hold sway.
Rich? Unlikely, since women are second-class citizens in such radical Muslim countries.
Self-proclaimed lesbian? At best, a social pariah.
Celebrity status? Certainly - in the sense that O.J. Simpson is a celebrity.
Gay adoption? Virtually unthinkable, much less doable.
Making a statement critical of Islam? A fatwa issued demanding her death.
On the plus side, forced to wear a head-to-toe burka. Praise Allah for that.
