Pride comes before a fall

So as it turns out, at roughly the same time that Iris Robinson, wife of Northern Ireland's First Minister Peter Robinson, was telling victims of homophobic attacks that they were "an abomination" and comparing homosexuality to murder and child sexual abuse, she was having an affair.

Unsurprisingly, given Iris's particular penchant for the fire and brimstone of the Old Testament (rather than the forgiving, progressive teachings of the gospels in the New Testament) her views aren't that far from the mullah's of Saudi Arabia or Iran.

Not unlike theocracy's in parts of the the Middle-East and Asia, Iris also believes that the law of the land should reflect the law of God (different God's, obviously) on all sorts of private issues including abortion, homosexuality and others.

Should we therefore expect to see Iris stoned to death for adultery? A bit of consistency would be nice...
