The Religion of Peace

You guys just don't get it do you?
I did not post this video to advocate justifications for the War in Iraq. I never said I condemn all Muslims. I posted the link as an educational reference. There are people who have no understanding of the depth of terror and violence that Muslim women endure at the hands of evil men, Imams and Sharia law. My next door neighbor never knew the extreme torture and violence these women suffer. She thought it was just a matter of having to wear veils, not be able to drive, not go out in public without a male family member. No one ever told here about female sexual mutilation on such a massive scale. She didn't realize that women are hanged and stoned to death by their own family for being victims of rape. She admitted she had heard of isolated cases, but had no idea how pervasive it is. I gave her Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel to read and it was a real jaw dropper for her. We've often discussed over coffee how this scourge, through "Political Correctness" and multiculturalism, is becoming wide spread throughout the Islamic enclaves of Europe and encroaching on civil laws of the country. Recently the British started to allow Sharia courts with the status of the British civil courts dealing with Islamic civil cases. The fear is that these courts will contine depriving Islamic women the right of protection from abusive Islamic men. The same thing is beginning to happen in Holland and Germany. http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/3522 I rather resent the fact that some on this board would question my motives for starting this thread, the linked sources and content. I also find it repulsive that some can make disparaging comments about such a serious subject. You're not funny. You're not cute. You have not added anything of serious import to the thread which indicates to me that you live in your small little virtual world without a profound thought in your head. You show your ridicule by posting your silly thread topics about bagels and gifts. How shallow. How facile. How juvenile.

Boo-hoo.
Start a thread with your flamebait "Religion of Peace" crud and try not to be terribly surprised at how people react. You want to be inflammatory and offensive, enjoy the responses. You must think we're all idiots. You, alone, are smart and educated and know all about the world and the really bad stuff that goes on in it. I bet nobody else here reads or does volunteer work or anything. Birth certificate.

Swampy and the other conservatives are not always wrong by default and just because I occasionally have to agree with them does not mean I am them. The three major monotheistic religions, Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, are all misogynistic to the core. Fundamental Islam is currently the worst, but Christianity has certainly done its share of torture, stoning, and burning at the stake. They all use the same ancient texts to justify their nutty dogma. I condemn any religion that proclaims they have the only way to salvation or enlightenment. That would include the fundamentalists within Islam or Christianity, or whatever else people dream up. I understand the human need for religion. There are big questions that cannot be answered by science. Most people need a way to deal with the realization of their own mortality. Unfortunately that usually means inventing a supernatural being complete with a lot of behavioral baggage. That often morphs into an insane rationale to kill the "non-believers". Is there a major religion that has not done this?

And also, if you are tired of people misinterpreting what you write, you should consider writing more clearly, and without hyperbole.

I thought the fade from the Qur'an page to the machine-gun toting angry person was interesting.

swampy wrote: So Swampy, just what was your point in starting this thread? Was it to cause us all to gnash our teeth and wring our hands in pity? Was it to make us fear and hate all of those in the world who aren't like us? Or was it to search for a solution to the problem? If it was the first two I don't see much of a point. I would hope that a person would start a thread like this as a constructive exercise, with a constructive title, rather than yet another thread to stir up some more poo-throwing, with yet another a pot-stirring title. If you had wanted people to start a constructive discussion about this subject it would have helped to start it out with a statement other than something like this - Frightening! And it is spreading...Great Britain, Canada, Holland, Germany, Spain, France. Sharia law is making headway. We cannot afford to lose the war on terror because this is what the Religion of Peace holds in store if we do. You know, something more open like - "I find this terribly disturbing and would like to seek some solutions, something to really help these women. Do you all have any ideas?" Instead you post something inflammatory and wonder why people dance around the flames.

swampy, you are mistaken when you say that we do not take this issue seriously. It's you that we don't take seriously.

Sorry if you didn't like the Thread's title. Still no excuse for the snide comments. In our post 9/11 world "Religion of Peace" is commonly accepted as sarcasm. But I gather few of you get the irony between the title and the subject
Point of the thread, Kathy? You're so smart, you figure it out. Or go back and read my last post. And if there's something about "educational reference" you don't understand just say so. Poo- Throwing? A discussion about the abuse of women by radical religious zealots is throwing poo at whom? Just dance on in your world of dragons and whistle in the dark. The refrain goes something like "la la la". These are women you don't know so it doesn't matter what happens to them? You didn't find the video frightening? Or is it that you are naive enough to think it could never happen to you or your daughter or grand daughter? You don't believe the Islamic terrorists when they say they want to take over the world and kill you if you don't accept their way? I'm way out here in the sticks of Florida and this abomination has made its way here and affected lives here. We have a number of Pakistani doctors in our county. One of them has a daughter who married a Pakistani college student while at University of Florida. He took her back to Pakistan and they are now in India. He has basically cut her off from her family, made her a prisoner in their home and physically and mentally abuses her daily! The parents have been working with the State Department, embassies, lawyers and through every channel they can to bring her home. They have made countless trips to India attempting to rescue her. Their last trip was about a month ago. Karia, the daughter, and Varati, grand daughter, were both in the hospital having been beaten by the husband. The husband and two friends had raped and beaten the 4 year old daughter. He won't divorce her unless he can keep Varati (sexual play toy?). SICK!!! These are friends of mine and they know very well what it's like to be victims of "The Religion of Peace" And, by the way, they are Muslim. Kathy, don't try to lecture me over "pot stirring titles". You don't have a clue and I doubt that you want to do anything more than whine about this thread. Don't read it if you don't like it. Go feed your little dragons. |
