Welcome to FR. What are you’re thoughts about the article you just posted?
Why do we not hear of homosexuals protesting Islam?
...if I applaud after reading this, am I bigot or an open minded Columbia student?
Would seem like alot of folks would think about the impact of having Sharia law around...and its not just Christians in nature.
Because the people they entrust to protect their rights don't really care about them or inform them of real threats....their goal is to keep this country divided...bring down our culture and our way of living and bring themselves to more power.
"But we reserve the right to develop some—for self-defense, of course."
Do you know any democrats who agree with this muzzie way of dealing with homos? After all, the democrats so desparetly seek to understand them. This is how the “Reality Based Community” feels is the true way to world wide peace. So for democrats to achieve peace with muzzies they must sacrafice their homos to stoning and hanging. Im sure Blackwater and Haliburton would gladly help with this homo issue.
It’s ok, Obama will talk to him.
Really something the various constituencies within the Democratican party should keep in mind, as they assail the policies of the Bush Administration in taking the fight to the Islamofacists.
There is absolutely ZERO tolerance in the Islamic world for many of the behaviors that may be frowned upon, but grudgingly permitted, throughout most of “Western” culture. A surprising amount of the taboos that the Muslims abide by have to do with sexual shame, and almost an equal number have to do with diet. The habits taken for granted in most Western cultures (free intermingling of the two sexes, consumption of alcohol, body displays, flaunting of individual lifestyles, some kinds of conspicuous consumption), long considered to be “freedom”, are absolutely forbidden under Islamic rule, and the enforcement of these bans often results in removal of body parts to the point of total mutilation or death. Long imprisonment for even relatively small infractions is not out of the question. This is coupled with torture that would revolt even the most sadistic of Westerners. And WAY beyond anything the US has ever been accused of.
Great wealth, of course, is accorded some flexibility of these rules, but great wealth is not a common state for most individuals in the Islamic world, and most of that is held in tight check by the rules of inheritance and along family lines.
The major point is that he's obviously lying. And, if he's lying about the this issue, then how can I (or anyone else for that matter) believe him in the context of his intentions with Nuclear Energy?
Some things can't be made up.
I've been saying the same thing for over a decade.
If only I was 2000 years old on paper, people might believe me.
...tumbleweeds roll by....
Europe is the perfect test case. Lemmings...
Troll sighting!!
Saddam was secular.
And why weren’t any Wahhabist groups in the “Axis of Evil?”
So what? Regarding the "gay issue" (which is the topic here) he didn't differ from other Islamic regimes. Homosexuals and prostitutes were beheaded in public under Saddam. Secular means crock. Saddam's regime was secular only in the very beginning in the late 1970's/early 1980's. With the war against Iran he promoted Islam for propaganda (Arab Islam vs. heretic Persians). After Desert Storm, Iraq went through a phase known as Islamization. Saddam built mosques, enforced sharia practices and promoted Islam. Of course a lot of this was only for raising his PR status within the Arab world, but the effects on Iraq weren't different.
And why weren’t any Wahhabist groups in the “Axis of Evil?”
Because this axis was confined to states. Including a Wahhabi state would mean Saudi Arabia. Since the Saudi Government is "officially" our "ally", this was a no-brainer. I get your point, and it's a very good one. The problem is that we have no viable alternative to the royals in Saudi Arabia, except Al-Qaeda themselves, short of totally destroying them. But we have to get thougher on Saudi Arabia witout a doubt.
He was an "equal opportunity" murderer. At least the Democrats approve...
