I'm mostly just inferring from the article. From the fifth paragraph:
For the church to get thingy about sins of the tongue, the bible probably must be able to be interpreted in such a way as to prohibit them:
Proverbs 25:23
Proverbs 20:19
There's also room for such interpretations in the Qur'an:
Surah Hujurat Ayat 12
It reminds me of usury — the texts of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam can be read to prohibit it, but whether it's read that way and whether the prohibition is enforced is a matter for religious officials.
