walp... if they want the trappings of islam but don't want the sexism (and other crap)... then they don't want real islam, do they?

Drop the stupid religion altogether. Why do they want to stay in one that relegates them to 3rd rate animals?

With obstacles such as the stoning to death of women, polygamy and the legal inferiority of women in some countries, progressives admitted there was a long climb ahead. Amazing, some still defend Islam (pig feet be upon it).

Islam and feminism. What more could you ask for?
To: ncountylee
I used to believe the made-for-primetime "5 pillars" version was the long and short of Islam, and based on that belief I was quite tolerant of Islam.
A friend of mine, an Iranian and lapsed Muslim, literally smacked me on the head and told me to read the Koran and Hadith before thinking to defend Islam from criticism.
I did so.
I have found the public image of Islam to be greatly at odds with the reality of Islam's "holy" tenets.
I have found the terrorism and genocide practiced by Muslims worldwide since this cult's inception to square very well with those tenets.
I have concluded that Islam is -at its most innocent- an insane bloody-handed death cult cum mafia-style organized crime ring.
It may in fact be something worse.
and, no: not all Muslims are murderers in wait... those who are not are often enough nice folks who are deeply ignorant of the reality of the cult into which they fell (by birth or through misadventure).

"Gender jihad is the struggle against male chauvinistic, homophobic or sexist readings of Islamic sacred texts," said Abdennur Prado, one of the meeting's Spanish organisers.
Sexist readings had been provided by Muslim scholars who, over the centuries, have been almost exclusively male. "Male chauvinism is the destruction of Islam as a well-balanced way of life," Mr Prado said. So, a male has to organize the "feminist jihad" meeting for the rebellious women. Bwaaaahahahhahahahahha!

Not surprising to find the men of FD jeering at womens' attempt to free themselves from a repressive male-dominated society. Disappointing, but not surprising.
To: nickcarraway
Promising news. Hugely important development in the culture wars with Islam.

Ha! Now there's a disruption of Jihadism that I'd like to see: the true spirit behind all cloaks of feminism (for example, Valerie Solanis of S.C.U.M, Society for Cutting Up Men). Will we send N.O.W. members or religious pretenders from one of the larger organizations to start a high abortion rate through any/all feminist practices in Islamist countries? Maybe we should send some homo-activists along with the goddess worshippers, eh?

This may be the start of the religious revolt of the Islamic reformation, triggered in part by the War on Terror.

They insisted that many of the fundamental concepts of equality embraced by feminism could also be found in the Koran. LOL

This is huge. Islam (submission) is built on the back of crushed, submissive womanhood - remove their chains, and Islam will crumble. This is a feminist movement we at FR should support absolutely.
Also: "Gender Jihad" is a suprisingly cool title.
To: familyop
Come on LAMESTREAM media, jump on this bandwagon. Come on FEMINAZI'S and HOMO-rights advocates, now is the chance to show dedication to your cause. Dust off your banners and re-charge your air horns. Stand up with your Islamic sisters and brothers. Take the fight for women and homo rights to the Islamofascists where it is really needed.
You're all so brave when you're in the land of the free. Take it where it's really needed.
Hello...hello...anyone there?

Well, good luck. People can swallow some amazing contradictions, it seems ... even "Islam" and "feminism."
