"For me," she adds, "Islam is a message of love, of tolerance and peace."

And how much of that delusion is the product of the secular media preaching its fantasies about the 'religion of peace'?

My wife's siblings just got me the book Sword of the Prophet for Christmas. I hope the facts it documents filters down to the media and the masses before too long.

Sacramento, CA has an unusual number of such female, white converts. They have one thing in common, usually:

They`re usually hideously fat.

They feel some measure of rejection from mainstream US culture, and in the midst of folks who feel similarly, they get a warm reception. Partly for visa reasons, they soon find an apparently loving mate. Later, they find the very loose clothing accomodates their hideous figures.

Just telling it like it is...

This is what [Western] Europe gets for driving Christianity underground.

I hope we disable or destroy the French nukes within the next 5 years!

France is weak because it is secular and atheistic in character; other 'religions' are more than happy to fill the void. Some here would have us become another France.

Why European women are turning to Islam

Because European men are sans gonads?

It's sad when women who should know better go willingly into a culture notorious for systematic degredation and abuse of females.

"Christianity did not give me the same reference points."

St. John of Damascus said that Islam was God's judgment on an unfaithful Church.

With homoerotic Bishop Robinson, etc...plus ca change, plus ce le meme chose.

Because there are few European men with backbones anymore.

In fact, she explains, she liked the way "Islam demands a closeness to God. Islam is simpler, more rigorous, and it's easier because it is explicit. I was looking for a framework; man needs rules and behavior to follow. Christianity did not give me the same reference points."

It's a shame she never really looked at Christianity. She was most probably following european Christianity lite which has only a vague resemblence to the real thing.

It amazes me that people who attend church once a year, never tell anyone about Jesus, become intoxicated on drugs, are sexually promiscuous and swear like a drunken sailor (among other nice habits) claim to be Christian.

It is a message that appeals to more and more Europeans as curiosity about Islam has grown since 9/11, say both Muslim and non-Muslim researchers.

I wonder how many of these converts hated the U.S. prior to 9/11 and decided to convert after the attack ? The enemy of my enemy.............

For me, this was the money quote:
In fact, she explains, she liked the way "Islam demands a closeness to God. Islam is simpler, more rigorous, and it's easier because it is explicit. I was looking for a framework; man needs rules and behavior to follow. Christianity did not give me the same reference points."
I guess no one ever bothered to tell her about:
Matthew
Mark
Luke
John
Or even just:
Sermon on the Mount, I
Sermon on the Mount, II
Sermon on the Mount, III
About as "simple", "rigorous" and "explicit" a "framework" for "rules" and "behavior" as one could possibly imagine. Or hope for.

HUH?

What drugs is she taking?
9/11 ring a bell?
Be headings are now a message of love, tolerance and peace?

Good grief!

I'll give "Mary" the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe she actually likes to be slapped around and gang-raped every so often. If not, perhaps she can make it to a church and find sanctuary....if France, and Europe, has any left by that time.

Women ARE sex objects.... and so are men for that matter.

The number 2 biological imperative for all animal species, behind raw survival, is reproduction.

The girl really doesn't have a clue.

Clearly she doesn't understand Christianity.

At the very least the Ten Commandments would be a good starting point for her ... .
