It's Groucho and the Three stooges!

Foxy,

What do you think that this means,

Sahih International: "Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish and put forth [righteousness] for yourselves. And fear Allah and know that you will meet Him. And give good tidings to the believers." (Koran 2:223}

it seems fairly straight-forward.

In France, England, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Phillipines it is those horrible bigots that turns the muslims violent. Nothing to do with them all having one thing in common. At least the abc/sbs have been able to observe the bbc and other apologist for abhorrent acts and behaviour. They certainly know how to make crimminals the victim.

Dear Is Mise,

Yes it is pretty straight forward.

And, in the New Testament we find:

"Wives should regard their husbands as they regard
the Lord, since as Christ is head of the church and
serves the whole body, so is a husband the head of
his wife, and as the Church submits to Christ, so
should wives submit to their husbands in everything."
(Ephesians 5:22-23).

And -

"A man ...is the image of God and reflects God's
glory; but woman is the reflection of man's glory...
Man was not created for the sake of woman, but
woman was created for the sake of man."
(I Corinthians 11:7-9).

And an orthodox Jew is expected to say this prayer
every morning:

"Blessed art thou, oh Lord our God. King of the Universe,
that I was not born a gentile. Blessed art thou,
oh Lord our God, King of the Universe, that I was not
born a slave. Blessed art thou, oh Lord our God, King
of the Universe, that I was not born a woman."

Foxy,

While you are warmed up, what about answers to these questions?

- Where is ISIS getting all of that money and other support from?

- If ISIS really is the odd man out and a pariah shunned by the Muslim world, why then does it even exist?

- You cited Prof Abdullah Saeed, however once again you neglected to mention that the good professor's readings and interpretation are alternative ones and far from fashionable or the accepted ones in the Muslim world. Even so, while we have the benefit of your familiarity with Islam and the professor's alternative readings, does that mean that he and 'moderate' Muslims in Australia shun Sharia and are opposed to its application in Australia?

- There are persistent reports of Sharia already being practiced in Australia, in marriage and divorce for example. Something you would abhor too, or does multiculturalism imply that is OK and something you would support?

Touche Foxy :)

I think we can be certain in our belief that all religions were brought to us via male humans writing about their interpretation of what they imagine their male god said is so!
Isn't it handy for them that the religious books are so male centred?

Didn't there used to be a few female gods that humans worshipped?

I would prefer to go back to the mythical beliefs pre-religion where humans worshipped mother earth and all things natural...
