Harry Potter and Sharia law
The Washington Times ^ | July 9, 2010 | D.L. Adams

Honor killings may not be on the big screen, but a celebrity angle is getting them big coverage.

Sometimes, only a celebrity angle can get the public to pay attention to what's important. The Harry Potter actress who suddenly became subject to Sharia law may be the source of such a moment when the public pays enough attention to create a sea change in national opinion.

In the article:
One of the most horrific and notorious instance of Islamic “honor killing” in recent memory in the United States occurred in Buffalo, N.Y., in February, 2009. The founder of Bridges TV, a television station whose stated purpose was to show a more tolerant and positive view of Muslims and Islam, beheaded his wife. Muzzammil Hassan murdered her in the facilities of the TV station.

In a 2004 press release, Hassan stated, “Every day on television we are barraged by stories of a Muslim extremist, militant, terrorist, or insurgent, but the stories that are missing are the countless stories of Muslim tolerance, progress, diversity, service and excellence that Bridges TV hopes to tell.”

Liberal women think Islam isn’t really so bad for Muslim women because they get stoned and commit adultery (wait....or was that the other way around????)

There was another barbaric atrocity in Turkey recently. The male members of the family bound a 16 year old girl with tape, put her in a pit, and buried her alive. If I were King, all these bastards would have been shot.

Now, I am eagerly awaiting for the cast members of the Harry Potter movies to join together in harmony and loudly denounce the treatment of their co-star Afshan Azad,

Don’t hold your breath, they’re a bunch of Suzan Sarandon types.

It’s come to the U.S. There was a case of this in St. Louis during the 1990’s.

I remember this one, sadly. His purpose, his business mantra - so diametrically opposed to his inner self. And right in the studio. Did that end the TV station? How do they come back from that?

Agreed. None of them will say anything and she WILL GO BACK. The need to flee is short lived over the religious conditioning.

From the article:

The early communist Leon Trotsky famously said, “You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.”

The observation is accurate, as is this modernization: “You may not be interested in Islam, but Islam is interested in you.”

It would be better to bind them with tape, put them in a pit, and bury them alive.

“they get stoned and commit adultery”

Who wouldn’t want to be stoned if you had to live in those backward countries. It might make life bearable.

I think our red Apache brothers could come up with something better. The pit would be OK, as long as they were coated in honey first, and the pit filled with diggings from fire ant mounds.

Interesting.

I’ve heard from sources in Buffalo, that it is developing quite the Muslim population.

Just what it needs. More muslims to swell the ranks of muslims like this guy and those 5 or so from Lackawana who were accused of aiding and abetting Al Queda.

burying them face down with a rotting pig with their feet toward mecca would be my idea
