I had no enmity against Islam until I bothered to learn something about it and its practitioners.
BTTT
Yep fathers getting money to have their daughters become suicide attacks isn't supporting terrorism...
Grand Mufti can kiss my pork rinds.
By their fruits you shall know them.
...and they'd better knock it off or he'll call for Jihad against them. :)
Agreed. When I started reading about their religion of death is when I became knowledgeable about their cult, and their leaders.
I can't believe they didn't mention FR? Credit where credit is due.
Islam would go very far as a religion if they stopped with the denial, embraced the evil that has coopted them and started on the road to recovery.
I am not holding my breath.
I do not wish to associate with ANY group which avocates the MURDER of my family and my friends because they are not islamics.
I have serious reservations about any country that is governed by islamics as well. Saudi Arabia and Iran top that list.
I do hope Iraq does not create an islamic government.
Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Asheikh, the Kingdoms grand mufti, said the people who attack Islam accusing it of encouraging terrorism and extremism and denying human rights are telling lies and know very well they are spreading falsehood.
And they should be punished with death!!

Afghanistan | Extreme, radical Fundamentalist Muslim terrorist groups & non-Muslims | Osama bin Laden heads a terrorist group called Al Quada (The Source) whose headquarters were in Afghanistan. They were protected by, and integrated with, the Taliban dictatorship in the country. Al Quada is generally regarded as having committed many terrorist attacks on U.S. ships, embassies, and buildings. Their goal is to promote a worldwide war between Muslims and non-Muslims. The Northern Alliance of rebel Afghans, Britain and the U.S. attacked the Taliban and Al Quada, establishing a new regime in the country. |

* We are defining "religion" rather loosely here to include Communism.
The more one learns about Islam, the more awful it is.
Islam encourages terrorism and extremism, and denies human rights.
Many non-Muslims know very little or nothing about Islam and depend on hearsay, which is usually repulsive and distorted information..."
When video tapes of beheadings become hearsay, I just might listen to this idiot. (Not).
(Allahu FUBAR)
Why does no one ask him where are the Fatwas against the Sunnis' killing other muslims in Iraq (and everywhere else around the globe)?
AMEN and Amen
