Gandalf Hates Leviticus
SIR IAN MCKELLEN is so offended by the Bible's anti-gay stance he makes a point of ripping out the relevant page every time he stays in a hotel room. The openly homosexual actor, a longtime campaigner for gay rights, accepts he shouldn't vandalise the Bible, but finds it difficult to contain his outrage at the contents of Leviticus 20:13 when he spots the holy book in hotels. MCKellen says, "It's the one thing I find difficult to defend but do go on doing." The Leviticus 20:13 passage reads: "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them."
From Here.
I wonder what would happen if it was a modern feminist who tore out a page of the Koran that read, "men take authority over women... As for those who are disobedient, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. (Surah 4:34)."
Whatever would happen, I bet it'd include burned cars and bomb threats..
