2. Where is Mecca? Western Pakistan, Western Iran, Central Saudi Arabia, Northern Afghanistan.

3. Muslim women should dress modestly in front of: Any male, Any male except for her husband, Only in public, None of the above.

4. Which are permissible professions for Muslim women? Teacher, Politician, Make-up artist, None of the above, All of the above.

5. Husbands and wives share family finances equally. True, False

Answers:

1. Men, but the Quran discourages polygamy unless a man can treat each of his spouses equally.

2. Central Saudi Arabia.

3. Any male except her husband, father, brother or blood-related uncles.

4. All of the above. There are no restrictions.

5. False. Men are required to provide for their wives. Women can keep all of the money they earn for themselves, or they can choose to contribute to the family budget.

So if I got all but one answer right, what possible “misconceptions” could I have? I know what it really is and I still find it dangerous and evil.

The one I got wrong was the career options. I based my “none of the above” answer on the fact that girls in Muslim countries are denied the education necessary for most careers.

So. The examples of inequality and its acceptance delineated here are supposed to shed light on the fact that ISLAM isn’t a culture of oppression and slavery? Good job guys.

They didn’t even touch on the martyred wife, her induction into martyrdom herself or any of the other extreme ISLAMIC practices. How about that martyr’s brother? How’s he working out? OR the guy he sold you to? Or how was your last stoning? Great job!

These are the only two questions that really matter. Answer them, please, muslim “moderates”.

What should happen to anyone who draws a picture of Mohammed?

What should happen to a muslim who converts to any other faith?

Somebody needs to check their map. Mecca is a short car ride up the road from Jeddah, the main port in the Western Province of Saudi Arabia and is located near the Red Sea. If that’s “central” then Philadelphia should be considered a city in central Pennsylvania. Other than that little error indicating a recent public school education the answers are correct. Better and more pertinent questions might include a) What is the definition of Dhimmi? b) How does the Dar al Harb (abode of war) become the Dar as Salaam (abode of peace)? or c) If a child is fathered by a Muslim male what choice of religion does he possess as an adult and what is the penalty for choosing wrongly?

How about this answer: who cares? why should we have to spend time learning about this religion, or any religion other than our own if we don’t want to? Especially a religion of a backwards and violent civilization, to use the term “civilization” loosely.
I regard the Muslim insistence that I learn about their religion as yet another form of Muslim oppression of dimmis.

I’ve actually had one of their apologists tell me with a straight face that it is not a religious thing at all, but very much a resource allocation thing. The story was that in countries or areas where there were not enough teachers, books, or school buildings, the boys were educated because of the obligation to be providers to their future wives and children. Since girls were not expected to be financially responsible for themselves, the scarce educational opportunities went to boys.

This guy went on to say that they WANTED to educate the girls, but COULDN’T. He did acknowledge that the Muslim insistence on separating girls from boys and men from women contributed to the resource problem. I pointed out that Mosques are not separate and that arrangements there seemed kosher, so why not with schools. He disengaged pretty quickly after that.

Now, I don’t personally believe that, but not too long ago in Christendom, that was the case also; boys got more education and sooner than the girls did. Just tossing that out there for when you ever run into the assertion. There may even be a tiny kernel of truth there, too, once upon a time.

Considering their policy/sacrament of taqiyya, why should we believe anything they say?

1: When stoning a woman after villagers rape her how large shall stones be?

2: How many steps must a woman walk behind her husband while outside?

3: When finding a stick with which to beat your wife how thick shall the stick be?

4: How young was Muhammad’s youngest wife?

5:If a Jew is hiding behind a rock or tree what shall a Muslim to to the Jew?

If you answered these questions correctly congratulations. You have no misconceptions about Islam.

Here’s a few pennies...

1- “The man who hurt Najwa Mordhah didn’t know her.
He only saw her scarf”. ....

Yet complete silence about the muzlim women who have
been brutalized by their own for NOT wearing a scarf.
How convenient.

2- “to become an agent for change” -

The author’s words, and ALWAYS a code word in
DemoSpeak.

3- “Muslims believe Jesus, one of many prophets,
was birthed by the Virgin Mary”...

But they deny he is the Son of God,and deny his
sacrifice for human redemption.
Jesus Christ is not Holy to the subhumans.
And, the God of Christians & Jews is NOT the
“alla” of “mohamed”. Any honest muzzie will tell
you that - SO, Ms. Writer, what’s your point here?
You don’t have one.
