F_H and those of the same ilk: We who write and comment on what we read on various web sights. We who comment on what we read in the print media/TV. We who comment on what a mad mullah says are islamic bashers. Strange that you never answer what is said but brush them of as moslem persecution - you poor dears.
As I stated on the other forum I see/read what most islamic nations have - brutality, dictatorship, massive corruption, death, squalid misogynistic life style etc, Even the quaint custom many pagan nations have that whenever the young son passes wind for the first time :-) out come the kalashnikovs and magazines of bullets are sent heaven wards - civilised behaviour? I DO NOT WANT AUSTRALIA TO GO THAT WAY! Until you mob arrived we were not doing too bad at all.
You complain - well that's the pagan moslem way eh complain at how badly you are treated by right wing fervent Christians. That I call you pagans well by Bible definition you are pagans or if you prefer heathens. Remember there's no 70 perpetual virgins and 32 perpetual untouched boys with bottoms like peaches for you my pagan friends. guess who - Yes your friend - numbat

Fellow_Human,
In identifying Cults it's their control over the minds of followers, and threats if one leaves the fold. It's the charisma, obsessive ideas and dynamics of a leader that entices weak and uninformed people into the following, and it's this type of character trait that controls others minds.

It's the tribal elders who protect the tribe eg Hammas. Others outside the tribe who want to think differently to the tribal elders eg Israel are fair game for terrorising or death.

A friend told me, a son of a Russian Orthodox man recently beat his 21 year old son to a pulp and excommunicated him from the family because he chose to attend a Christian church other than Orthodox. This is the nature of cultish beliefs, the individual has no right to think for himself or question the religion.

When reading the Qur'an clear attitudes of obsession emerge in the writer and all the definitions of cult are evident. He denies history for a theological rant to establish his position. Persons questioning the beliefs or denying the beliefs are in danger of death. These attitudes pervade most of Islam today.

Indonesia: Morality War

Moral crusaders focus on females

The Age, Karuni Rompies, March 11 2006

"LILIS Lindawati finished waitressing at 8pm and was waiting for a bus, she says, when the men in brown shirts came. Five jumped from the back of a ute and forced her into a nearby van.

The three-month-pregnant mother of two was about to become another casualty of Indonesia's escalating morality war. Her crime: she was female, alone and wearing make-up. A tube of lipstick sealed her fate.This week, on International Women's Day, thousands of Indonesian women demonstrated against the morality crusade. Several regional administrations, including Tangerang,have introduced by-laws reflecting Islamic sharia law. A proposed national anti-pornography law will ban public kissing and any clothing considered alluring. Baring a navel would earn a jail term. Moderate Muslim organisations support the changes, but intellectuals, feminists and artists are beginning to mobilise against what they believe is a plan to reshape Indonesia."

Indonesia is touted as a tolerant democratic Muslim Nation - Is this the type of law we in Australia want?

Couple arrested in Aceh for breaking Islamic law
ABC News, 15 March 2006

"A former leading member of the Aceh separatist movement, GAM, and a French aid worker have been arrested for breaking the province's strict Islamic law prohibiting unrelated men and women being alone together. Amni bin Ahmad Marzuki who was one of the GAM peace negotiators, faces up to nine strokes of the cane and a fine if convicted by the Bandah Aceh Sharia Court. Police said the pair were caught together in a parked car at around midnight on Monday night by local residents who handed them over to the police. Aceh has adopted partial Islamic law and religious police patrol the streets enforcing a strict moral code. Marzuki and four other negotiators were jailed by Indonesia for up to 15 years after the collapse of initial peace talks in 2003 but were released last August after a peace agreement was signed. The woman who was not identified will not be tried because she is not a Muslim."
