One of the resentments of Muslims against Western civilization is their open toleration of pornography. It is difficult for a Westerner to see the issue of pornography from a Muslim point of view. To a Westerner, the issue of pornography is simply a question of human rights. If people cannot control their horniness, they should be allowed an outlet. However, Muslims don't equate pornography with human rights. They believe that pornography is a cancer in society that must be excised with whatever means available.

The West open toleration of pornography is just the fuel that will ignite the resentment of Muslims every where. Now that the issue of sexual morality has gone overboard in Western countries, with the legalization of homosexual marriages, on one hand, and the admission of homosexual pastors in the Christian Church, it is time to think of the consequences. The exercise of freedom in Western societies has its price and that price is increasing the hatred of Muslims against Western civilization.

This is the reason why I believe that the legalization or prohibition of pornography should be decided by the legislature and never by judges who are insensitive to the issues that surrounds a controversy. Those who oppose the legalization of pornography may warn its proponents that it would fan the hatred of Muslims against Christians.

I believe that pornography and abortion degrade everyone involved and is the effluent of a free society. It should be legislated by congress, not by activist judges. Only a few of the far left "Christian" churches ordain homosexual pastors and it is incompatible with Christianity. Homosexual marriage is tenuously legal in VERY few jurisdictions and will soon fall.
I have friends that have been and are in Iraq and Afghanistan. Despite supposed prohibitions against homosexuality it is quite common among Muslims, especially powerful men with younger boys.
We have problems with muslim pornography, those beheading and slaughter videos available to the little jihadis all over islam.
We have problems with a religion that views women as posessions and where slavery is still legal.
We have a problem with a religion that teaches its children to bomb innocent civilians (muslim and non-muslim) while commiting suicide.
We have a problem with a religion that preaches that it is muslim duty to acquire nuclear weapons and destroy Israel and America.
One of the resentments of the West against muslims is that they fly planes into our buildings.
It's time for the west to stop worrying about how the muslim world views us, as flawed as we are, and the muslim world start worrying about how we view them.
If you came to this forum to persuade someone of the righteousness and tolerance of islam, you made a mistake.
