"and the local Fordson high school principal Fuddy Duddy forces a student to convert back to Islam."
Could you please provide a link or some details about this? I'm from Dearborn and a former teacher at FHS and I'd love to hear about it.
Well, I also do recall hearing some extremist Christian preachers advocating a little wife beating from time to time. Not that that in any way equates the two religions.
Note the weak-minded always available to aid Evil showing up to run their mouths.
"There paycheck depends on splitting up families." Bull. "Their" paycheck does not. Splitting up families is that last thing "They" want.
I know you are not being argumentative, but I don't recall any extremist Christian ministers advocating wife beating.
I would question if they were cult leaders like Jim Jones or actual Christians.
And I can't name any, but over my 50-plus years I believe I have hear one or two apply the "spare the rod" rule to wives. I didn't mean to suggest it was common, by any means.
Sorry, it was Hamtramck where a judge ruled that the mosque could use electronically amplified broadcast calls for prayer.
Hamtramck is truly an ethnic melting pot - it is a small city surrounded on all sides by Detroit with a population of 22,000 which includes: (in descending order of %)
Poles, Blacks, Yugoslavians, Yemenis, Asian Indians, Arabs, Bangladeshi, Ukrainians, Germans, Albanians, Irish, Italians, Russians, Basque, English, French, Lebanese, Pakistani, Scottish, Macedonians, Mexicans and Chaldeans.
A veritable United Nations.
As you can imagine, the restaurants and shops in Hamtramck are like no where else in the world.
On top of all this - Hamtramck also has a reputation for having some of the best nightclubs in the US - at least for "New Wave/Alternative/Punk" music.
The Bible says no such thing as you've written...but, then I looked at your tagline and realized you'd never understand the truth of Scriptures anyway.
You are trying too hard to excuse bad behavior. Islam does not frown on wife-beating. Christianity does frown on wife-beating.
That's all you need to know.
What you're writing here just doesn't sound like you, to me. From your statement in post #3 and first to last, you do sound argumentative to me. And I too thought you were bringing up Christians to mark some moral relevance.
Not like your usual FR self. Just my opinion.
The logic expressed in Dark Wolfs replies appears off the mark and critical of a religion that does not espouse wife beating.
I do not find consistency nor optimism in his posts. His logic appears negative.
what parents for children is doing is nothing more than a huge joke on the poor man that hired them. they claim to be for the children when in fact they are for finding desperate people in michigan so that the atty wife can consume non returnable retainers from them. This atty has been admonished many times by the atb and has had a suspension of her license. anyone who would like to see the truth behind these publicity stunts only needs to read this.
