Ah, the lefties who become moslem fundies to p*** off the rednecks. What would they do if (theoretically) islam followed through on its stated goal of converting everyone, including the hated rednecks?

But on another topic (similar to my last post on this thread), if you do a Google Video search (exact quote) for: Celebrities who converted to Islam you get 6,250 results.
But if you do a search for: Celebrities who converted to Christianity - you get O results.
BOGUS! BOGUS! BOGUS!
"Celebrities who converted to Christianity" = About 389,000 results
"Celebrities who converted to Islam" = About 502,000 results

I dont see how any western Christian could question their religion, and end up a Muslim... an Athiest, I can understand, but a Muslim? Makes me think there is something wrong with these people in the first place. Humans need structure and rules. Children are supposed to learn societal boundaries, civility, respect for others, and a heavy dose of humility... that the world doesn't revolve around them.
The left thought it could play god and toss out all the rules of human nature, polite society, and cause and effect, as if civilization didn't rest upon the foundational pillars of God, marriage, family, virtue, the rule of law, and love and respect for others.
Rejecting the natural order, these dingbats end up embracing other types of "order"... police states, islam... that require brute force to maintain control.
Liberal women are attracted to the very misogynists they rail against... the type of men (or bulldykes) who shame and embarrass them, slap them down, and generally treat them with utter contempt if not outright brutality. Without a sense of self-respect or true independence, with no internal boundaries to guide them, they gravitate toward control freaks and/or freakish control systems that are eager to make and enforce rules.
Kennedy women, Clinton worshipers, Obama drones, and all who are perpetually needy for big government... there's something wrong with them all right. Professing independence as "feminists", they are helpless fools who would rather take a beating than get a clue. Life is apparently about collecting a stack of victim cards to play when light and truth i.e. reality slips through their wall of lies.
This women wanted answers and she got them in islam, because she found a system that would lie to her but good, by whatever force necessary. Same spirit operates the Obama nation of Desolation.

Some choices need to be rewarded in full. Darwin must shake his head at the lengths some people will go to win his award.

Apparently, you did not read my post well, nor did you click on the links I provided. I cited a "Google Video" search - the results to which you are referring are from just a general Google search.
The reason I find the video search interesting and more informative of a statement on our current popular culture, is because that would be more reflective of videos posted on the internet, whereas the regular Google search would just have multiple listing of historical references.

My results were for the google video search. Try it again.

A feminist Muslim...isn’t that the same as a unicorn or a Pegasus? In other words, nonexistent?

I learned that Islam is neither a culture nor a cult, nor could it be represented by one part of the world. I came to realize Islam is a world religion that teaches tolerance, justice and honor and promotes patience, modesty and balance.Poor dear doesn't understand the difference between "book learning" and "education".
Give it some time, though, and she will inevitably get a clue...

She's coming at this from a Western boutique approach to the religion, becoming a "cafeteria Muslim" who puts together her own idea of the religion, which doesn't correspond to how the Muslims actually live overseas (or even in some ethnic enclaves here), and she married a guy who came at Islam from the same background.
Maybe she was looking for something like Unitarianism but with more structure and discipline. It's hard to say what happens when Theresa goes to a mosque and meets Muslims from a different background. Maybe there's a whole mosque somewhere filled with people like her.
Female genital mutilation goes back to pre-Islamic times in Africa. There's no denying that it's become accepted in the Islamic world, but strictly speaking it's not mandated by the religion itself though many Muslims and non-Muslims make that assumption.

"Where in the Muslim world today are any of the above practiced without controversy, pushback from men or the religious authorities (including honor killings), and practiced in the same way these things are practiced in Western democracies?" We all know the answer to that one, don't we?
We also know that like democrats, Muslims are justified (in their minds and their religion) in speaking falsehoods if it advances their cause.

Were this FemiNazi/Muslim sincere in her conversion to Islam, there would be one sure way to determine whether or not she was a sincere convert.
The question may be resolved easily - Has she volunteered for Female Genital Mutilation?
Or not?

Maybe she was looking for something like Unitarianism but with more structure and discipline.And more exotic and more alien to whitebread WASP types. She's basically using her religion like an extreme piercing or body modification.

“I came to realize Islam is a world religion that teaches tolerance, justice and honor and promotes patience, modesty and balance.”
The above line will tell you more about this persons psychological state than all the rest combined. She didn’t “question” anything. She was hell bent on getting somewhere and she got there. She’s angry. Very.
