Well there they go again, just making shit up...
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Rick Santorum took his rhetoric to a new level, trying to attack President Barack Obama over the controversy between religious freedom and contraception.
"It's not about you. It's not about you," Santorum said at a Tea Party rally, directing his comments at the president. "It's not about your quality of life. It's not about your job. It's about some phony ideal, some phony theology. Oh, not a theology based on the Bible, a different theology, but no less a theology."

At a media availability following his address to the Ohio Christian Alliance here, Santorum, the candidate with the momentum in the GOP race for president, faced a barrage of questions about the comments.

He continued, "The president has reached a new low in this countrys history of oppressing religious freedom that we have never seen before. If he doesnt want to call his imposition of his values a theology thats fine, but it is an imposition of his values over a church who has very clear theological reasons for opposing what the Obama administration is forcing on them.

(getting to use that bad word with some sort of ironic meaning for once)
Muslims have the same views on contraception in marriage as christians. The SAME.
Most muslim clerics say it's okay but the hardline clerics say it is not okay. Just like christianity.
Muslims opposed to birth control often quote the Qur'an as saying "You should not kill your children for fear of want" (17:31, 6:151) and interpret this as including a ban on contraception as well as infanticide.
Since most christians disagree with you and hardline muslims agree with you then maybe it isn't about the fucking Bible.
Maybe it's about being a primitive psycho.

Eventually, he will insult more and more people.
