She's very courageous. One of the rare moderate Muslims who can say what the British Prime Minister can't say loud - and what we all need hear to hear. Irshad Manji has all done us public service is bringing Islam out into the open along with the Islamofascist ideology extremists use to justify jihad. If we can't bring ourselves to help Muslims uproot the most repellent aspects of their faith, we're keeping them in the Dark Ages.

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it remains a pig.

Islam itself is evil.

Do you think the "extremists" are not following the religion as written in the Koran and the example set by Muhammed? - tom

"If we can't bring ourselves to help Muslims uproot the most repellent aspects of their faith, we're keeping them in the Dark Ages."

I enjoy reading your posts and almost always agree with you, but this statement just doesn't make sense to me. Muslims are not trying to uproot the evil aspects of their faith, (which are abundant), nor are Westerners keeping them in the Dark Ages. In fact, we (foolishly) allow them to study in our universities in the tens of thousands. They keep themselves in the Dark Ages, completely, and willingly. There may be an outspoken muslim here and there who condemn their rotten, terrorist brethren, but they are rare, because the terrorists are not really saying or doing anything that the koran doesn't either allow or demand. Islam is a curse, a scourge on mankind, and there is no such thing as a "moderate" curse.
