oh that's the OTHER interpretation of catholicism

Oh it exists alright. That interpretation of Catholicism votes for pro-abortion, DemocRAT candidates.

Ted Kennedy is the Osama of that sect!

Propaganda is right, I think what they are really trying to do is begin the conversion of the infidels to Islam. That's why they are telling us and not telling the radicals. The one lie they don't tell is that they intend eventually for the whole world to be under an Islamic state because that's what is instructed. That's why they claim to be peace-loving but killing millions of people in Africa, beheading people in Indonesia etc etc. They do want "peace" but only the kind of peace they believe will happen when everyone if forced to be just like them.

Why would I want to know more about Islam?

I stopped wanting to know about Islam back in college when I saw the Muslim students and they told me about it. They will claim to be very holy but then go to the cheapest bars and pick up the cheapest women, they drink, they gamble and unlike most Christians who do this they still claim to be very religious. All their definitions are different, adultery is only if a married woman is cheating, it's okay for the men, they have a convenient "temporary" marriage which can last one night, one week or however long called mutaa. They can have 4 wives but if that isn't enough, they can have "concubines". Women are just property, usually exchanged for some material item. It's not a very appealing religion.

This is one of the best articles I've read in a long time.

It is extremely hard to argue with, very logical, and derives from basic Western principles of fairness and accountability.

This article should be published on the front page of every major newspaper in the Western world.

Honest dialogue is needed - not touchy-feely "Muslims are misunderstood" propaganda. This piece raises some very important questions that NEED to be addressed.

You are asking them for a suicide. No microscope is big enough to find a Muslim fellow who is genuinely and with no conditions attached outraged by the September 11th. On a surface they give you 1000 and one reasons (that usually starts with the US support fo Israel). Deep inside it is just hate, pure and simple!

Amen to that

Well, SIR, I can see why you opted out at rank of Major. Good article. Hope someone with as much sense has the ear of our President.

I don't suppose we could get you and Ollie to go back in could we?

[Snow Bunny]

Will the Real Islam Please Stand Up!

It did on Sept. 11.
It's the same one that walked into the pizza parlor and the disco in Israel. The same one that visited the U.S.S. Cole, the marine barracks in Saudi,and over one million christians in the Sudan.
Yeah, it's the same one.

We continue to be TOLD that Islam is a peaceful religion, but are never given examples. Why doesn't the media quote some passages from the Koran to prove their point?

[Dumb_Ox]

This article has some interesting points.

[B4Ranch]

If the Muslims in America, the peace loving ones who are supposed to understand the Koran, don't start fight for America soon. I mean real damn soon, we are going to start considering them aiding the terrorists and start killing them. I hope they understand common sense. Either stand on our side of the fence or we'll bury you on that side.
