Predictable to hear from you BOZO.

You suffer such a chronic case of verbal diarrhoea that it is now habit for me (and I suspect others)-not to read your posts,(but thanks for reading mine even if as usual, it gives you grist for your Christian Fundamentalist mill).

It IS opportune that you post at this juncture though; the comparison between Rabiah Hutchinson and yourself was inevitable.
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE!

As Individual has already pointed out.

Given that you infest this forum with the same preaching condescension again, and again, and AGAIN; I am surprised that you are allowed to swamp the board with so many threads, carrying the same message.

All of these threads have to be passed by moderator/s. If I WERE to say that it does not surprise me at all, that would show a distinct lack of respect for the vetting process.
I happen to know that it works very well.............; except in your case.

Boazy, I have about as much interest in reading the Muslim book of myths as I do in reading the Christian book of myths - i.e. zilch.

Bazz,

I can see where you are coming from.

Perhaps anthropologists and archaeologists, both Muslim and western, should examine where some of the practices originated. If not Islamic, these could be expunged from Islamic practices. It would be a start ...

Female circumsion, in its various forms, originated tribally. Originally when certain groups converted to Christianity they brought these practices with them - but these are not now practiced by Christians. The burqu and belly-dancing appear "on the same page" in some Arabic regions. The burqa, undoubtedly, comes from a tribal society which perceived women as chattels - much as camels.

A Muslim intellectual blamed the Western "high priests" of political correctness for much of what is still occurring in Islamic countries. He said that these "high priests" of academia, by ignoring, not condemning what is happening, relegates his people, as they were in the past, to being the "white-man's burden".

About 18 months before I was in Kyrgyzstan for few weeks, a Central Asian Muslim country. I visited a Muslim friend. In the capital city, Bishkek I did not see any woman with headscarves etc. There are huge differences between Muslims from country to country, as between Christians from country to country. There are good and bad Muslims as there are good and bad Christians, there are Muslims extremists as there are Christian extremists. The persons who wear headscarves or burka could be good or bad, it is not their cloths or headscarves which make them good or bad nor their religious. There are different civilizations on our planet, there are same civilizations but in different levels. It is wrong to think that everything different from our civilization is bad or worst from our civilization. We must learn to respect the values and sensitivities from people of different civilizations. It is impossible to be wrong everything from their civilization , it is impossible to be right everything from our civilization. Let 's open our eyes tand grab anything good from other civilizations, let's have open our eyes to abandon anything bad from our civilization.

Antonios,

I agree with you.

However, why should women wear the burqa - it is very insulting to them? Indeed, insulting to men as well. Men are not necessarily slaves to their erections.

Why should little girls of 9 yrs old be publicly executed?

Are these original, Islamic practices; or accretions of ancient tribal mores with no relevance to Islam whatsoever.

Nuns don't wear habits now; little boys are no longer mutilated to sing castrati for the glory of the church.

CJ.. if you wish to be taken seriously...then a perusal of those documents would be advantageous. How in the world can you rant against me from an uninformed position? That's irrational.

GINXY... ur welcome :)
but seriously..I went to a bit of effort to present that information, the least you can do is have a peek.. and then, rather than just trot out the usual 'you are a moron/you stink/you are this that the other ting' you can actually (believe it or not:) have something to comment which is based on some facts for a change.

You see.. whether you like my style or are unable to see how I get past the moderators.. firstly..I don't always.. many of my threads have ben snipped b4 seeing the light of day..... but one thing you cannot say "I don't provide evidence".....

because I do! Maybe thats why I get through ?

Disagree if you must...but please disagree with 'facts' and conclusions rather than just 'me'.

peace and blessings...

OOPS.. I 4got.. the diff between me and the Jihadi's is that I do care about the victims of Bali.. and I spend a lot of time demonstrating WHY the forces behind that explosion, are to be reckoned with..
Then.. I get called mean names :) go figure.

If you read up that information, you migggght just get a glimmer.. albeit with that small amount of reading a dim one.. of what goes on in the radical Muslims mind.
