"Stone to death" is in the OT.
"Faith in America" is still strongly held by most Americans, IMO, it's the "nattering nabobs of negativity" that like to tear it down. However, PC is a problem & absloutely hinders the 1st amendment.

I did your google search. 95%+ of the links had nothing to do with middle easterners. I also used Muslim instead of middle easterner, and it yielded just as few links.
I did see MANY white supremicist and extreme right wing web sites. But none of these had any actual stories. They were all hear say articles about "A Rancher says 'I heard muslims are crossing'"
If you did any research at all you would quickly find that Canada HAS a radical muslim population, and a very porous border.
If a radical muslim wanted to enter the USA, Canada is where they should go.
Please stop conflating terrorism with every single issue you feel strongly about.
Second point,
The OT is considered part of the bible, and you can't get through a single sermon without some preacher mentioning it or an "important" passage from it.
The portion about stoning children is about 4 lines away from the portion on rejecting homosexuality.
If you could just point me to the portion of the bible, where Jesus mentions homosexuals, I will buy a "God hates (*)(*)(*)(*) dead" sign from the local evangelical church.
Did you know that Jesus said usury is a sin? A very BIG sin. Do your religious beliefs prevent you from utilizing banks and credit cards?
In summary, don't play the old testament versus new, because you will always end up picking and choosing passages you agree with against those you don't. In the end, your religion is probably based 100% on your upbringing and personal philosophy, and has little to do with the bible.
