The director of the Muslim rights group Cage has repeatedly refused to condemn the stoning of adulterous women by Islamic extremists.

Appearing on the BBC’s This Week programme, Asim Qureshi was asked about a series of positions advocated by a Muslim scholar he has described as a mentor, including female genital mutilation, domestic violence and the stoning to death of women found guilty of cheating on their husbands.

Last month, Mr Qureshi was criticised for describing Mohammed Emwazi, the Islamic State executioner known as Jihadi John, as a “beautiful young man”.

Pressed by Andrew Neil, the show’s presenter, to condemn a series of extreme positions, including claims that Jews are descended from pigs and homosexuality is evil.

He repeatedly refused to engage, saying: “I’m not a theologian.”

Likely true, and the most plausible explanation. No Moslem dare speak out against Islamic Lunatics. Any more than Chicago area citizens dared to speak out against the Capone Mob during the Twenties (or against Democrats today).

Maybe gay outrage will hoot him out, if the stoning of women does not.

It becomes clear pretty quickly that the Muslim definition of “Muslim Rights” includes the right to enslave, rape, rob, and murder non-Muslims.

He has to know the manner of even determining who is guilty of adultery is ludicrously biased in favor of excusing cheating, even raping males. It can’t help, however, that Western society with its ideas of absolute truth and DNA tests and the like is being a monstrously bad witness to sexual fidelity. Whoever convinces Arabs to move on, can’t be worse devils than they are.

It’s interesting the way socialists approach theological concepts but when it comes to Islam they are not the only ones who refuse to approach the issue. That even includes leading Christian clergy including Pope Francis.

Followers of Mohammed not only claim, but truly believe that God has authorized them to kill those who refuse to submit to their version of God’s will. That is a basic tenet of that religion. A claim which goes unchallanged. While it’s understandable for atheists which most socialists are, not to approach that claim on a theological basis. Because simply eliminatimg those who believe in its execution will not end its practice. Islam must be discredited and condemed.

It’s bewildering why many Christian clergy concerned about “political correctness “ refuse to address what an insult to God it is and worse yet are unable to condem then convince and convert its advocates and adhearants they are followers of an evil creed .

The Koran which was not given to Mohammed by God but by some angel .Demanding enforcement of sharia law which draws heavily from the Torah.It is a pseudo religious concoction using monotheistic selected texts, taken and misconstrued from the old .(bible) and new testaments. Both of which cite the Almighty has granted free will to accept or obey his laws and is the final judge not man. Sodom and Gormora , “Let he who is without sin cast the stone” are outstanding examples from both books. One deals with sin and God’s decision toward a group the other to an individual, neither is left to man.

Yet followers of Mohammed under the severest of penalties are forbidden to read either which would refute that assertion in a creed which institutionalizes disgusting arab tribal views, observances,and customs. Claiming adhearants are authorized by our Creator to demand submission to it or suffer an ignominious death administered by followers of Islam simply because they answer the call to prayer 5 times a day.

As long as Asim Qureshi is anti-American, anti-Christian, and anti-Jew, women's rights groups won't say a word.

At this point it should be incumbent upon any Muslim “rights” group to prove their non-support of Sharia/Jihad. I have had it with these people. People who think link this troglodyte should be sent back the hell where they came from IN PIECES.

Hush.

You must be one of those provocative, moderate (or perhaps even militant) Christians who have this penchant for being islamophobic.

When asked about Jews descending from pigs he probably said, “I’m not a scientist”.

But does he believe that women should get free birth control? That’s the real war on women.
