Myth of the global war against Christians

Huffington post has a great piece exposing the spin and lies behind the myth that Muslims are waging a global war against Christians. It tackles head on the arguments put forward by career hatemonger Aayan Hirsi Ali in a recent article which eh posted on this forum. John L. Esposito, Professor of Re...

Re: The Punishment For "lewdness" - Lashing Or Home Confinem

I'm telling you AGAIN that when you work out what the term lewdness is in detail (and see that it is a wide category), your confusion will be lessened. You need to define the crime first before you worry your little head with what Islamic jurisprudence advocates for the punishment. Cheers, Shafique

Re: Are Women Asking For It?

tony - I'd say that most people would understand Chappelle's point the same way you have explained. I certainly did. FD - I do agree with you that there is no excuse for a man harrassing any woman, and indeed you know that Islam teaches that both men and women should avert their eyes - and remain mo...

Re: 200 Yewts Riot In Support Of Child Rapists

BM - grow up. Stop this unhealthy obsession of fantasing about grown men you don't actually know in person :)

So, has eh turned up yet.. No, didn't think so.

Re: Myth Of The Global War Against Christians

eh, you are easily confused and are extremely gullible. You imagined that a racist, pro-EDL mob were rioting in support of rapists, all because you chose to not read what was written. Same appears to be the case here - facts are given, but you want to believe the opposite. Professor Esposito has deb...

Neo-Nazi Terrorists in Germany kill 10

From a few days ago - the authorities in Germany have now worked out that 10 deaths over a number of years were actually carried out by a Neo-Nazi terrorist group. Kudos to the Germans for acknowledging the gravity and holding a state ceremony for the victims. I expect that Europol will have to upda...

Re: Are Women Asking For It?

FD - stop being deliberately dense. Dave Chappelle explicitly starts his sequence by saying that women are right - dressing like a whore does not make you a whore. Indeed, you makes a similar point - someone dressing like an observant Muslim woman does not mean they are an observant Muslim woman . S...

Re: Are Women Asking For It?

Dave was quite explicit about what he terms as a 'whore's uniform' - and how it is confusing when non-whores choose to dress that way. Not all whores wear the whore's uniform when at work, that is true - same go for Policemen in plain clothes, or undercover. We are not talking about them - but rathe...

Re: The Punishment For "lewdness" - Lashing Or Home Confinem

Then you can look at specific 'crimes' that fall under this term and we can look at what judges have prescribed as punishments for these specific cri...

kanelli, the critique of Hirsi is that she is applying the discredited tactic of extrapolating real issues and generalising. Certainly the fans on this forum who quote her employ the rhetoric that this is what Islam teaches and what Muslims would/should do if they weren't hiding their true beliefs e...

Re: Are Women Asking For It?

The punishment is for both men and women - and the need is to have 4 witnesses who witnessed the act. If someone accuses a woman of fornication and can't back up the accusation, they are punished.

Re: Are Women Asking For It?

Muslims have to disagree with you on that one kanelli - as for us these laws, and the safeguards, are from God. To me, as long as the whole law is implemented in a holistic way - they are a part of a formula that is logical and beneficial to society. It is pretty much impossible to get 4 witnesses t...

Re: Questions For Muslims: Yes Or No

Booty is property as a result of plunder, mainly in wartime. So you'd classify Israel's occupation of East Jerusalem, Golan Heights, West Bank and Gaza after the 1967 war as 'booty' then. I think you have a point. But the answer to your question is still yes - women, children and indeed men are all...

Yes, they aren't the norm and are indeed recent. There are over a billion Muslims and over history the persecution of minorities is the exception rather than the norm when Muslims are in power. Persecution of Christians in Indonesia is a recent phenomenon, and in Pakistan and indeed in Nigeria. Nige...

So several decades doesn't matter because a thousand years ago Muslims were benevolent rulers? 'Thousands of years ago' there weren't any Muslims!

Your confusion would be lessened because you will know what the crime is that you are asking the punishment(s) for. It is a bit silly to ask what the punishments are for a crime you don't want to look up the definition of. But then again, many of your beliefs about Islam are silly and aren't remotel...
