MUSLIM FAMILY VALUES??

Beat your wife

Kill your daughter for daring to date a non-Muslim

Donate to a terrorist "charity"

And for American converts.......

pay a visit to your alma mater.....the state pen.

Does the Muslim Family Values Day celebration include any beheadings? If so, are they done with dull knives or with swords?

How about removals of hands? Stoning of any women? Are acid baths anywhere near the celebration?

[ambrose]

All of the above, perhaps?

[Oorang]

This is beyond nuts. All the photos that have been posted here need to be send to Kenny Guinn.

[Kuksool]

Diversity means poking Christians in the eyes.

To be entirely fair on the female genital mutilation issue, I don't think it is a Muslim religious custom exactly, but rather more of a cultural custom in some parts of the world where Islam is practiced.

I think its barbaric and insane (and in fact, I now refer to our friends in the mid-east exclusively as 'those posturing, chest-thumping rejects from Lord of the Flies'), but the genital mutilation thing isn't partcularly religious.

It is, of course, insane.

OUTRAGEOUS!!! What a freaking moron. The fine folks in NV need to impeach that sorry POS! What in the world is wrong with the elected people in this country? I cannot believe this. It's total insanity.

[Robert Lomax]

Outrageous bump.

And lets not forget the proud Islamic family value of polygamy, which makes for the surplus of unattached males without reproductive potential, which in turn leads to social instability, and therefore tyrannical governments.

With Queer Marriage leading the way, Muslims in America wont be far behind in pushing for polygamous marriage.

Anytime a Muslim American talks up Islam, here is the response everyone should give:

Should Islamic law, sharia, ever be the law of America?

If "yes," they are unpatriotic and disloyal.

That should separate the good from the bad.

So much for "Muslim values."

More questions to ask Muslim Americans: This is from a Daniel Pipes' article, posted last December 8 on FR. It's about how to ferret out "moderate" Muslims from extremists, or at least an attempt to, by posing questions to them:

"These (questions) need to be specific, because vague inquiries — such as “Is Islam a religion of peace?” and “Do you condemn terrorism?” — have little value, for they depend on definitions (of peace, of terrorism, etc.).

Useful questions might address subjects such as:

Violence: Do you condone or condemn the Palestinians, Chechens, and Kashmiris who give up their lives to kill enemy civilians?

Will you condemn by name as terrorist groups such organizations as Abu Sayyaf, Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya, Groupe Islamique Arm e, Hamas, Harakat ul-Mujahidin, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, and Al Qaeda?

Modernity: Should Muslim women have equal rights with men (for example, in inheritance shares or court testimony)?

Is jihad, meaning a form of warfare, acceptable in today’s world?

Do you accept the validity of other religions?

Do Muslims have anything to learn from the West?

Secularism: Should non-Muslims enjoy completely equal civil rights with Muslims?

May Muslims convert to other religions?

May Muslim women marry non-Muslim men?

Do you accept the laws of a majority non-Muslim government and unreservedly pledge allegiance to that government?

State Imposition of Religious Observance: What do you think of banning food service during Ramadan?

When Islamic customs conflict with secular laws (e.g., covering the face for drivers’ license photographs), which should give way?

Islamic Pluralism: Are Sufis and Shiites fully legitimate Muslims?

Do you think that Muslims who disagree with you have fallen into unbelief?

Is takfir (condemning fellow Muslims with whom one has disagreements as unbelievers) an acceptable practice?

Self-criticism: Do you accept the legitimacy of scholarly inquiry into the origins of Islam?

Who was responsible for the September 11 suicide hijackings?

Defense Against Militant Islam: Do you accept enhanced security measures to fight militant Islam, even if this means extra scrutiny of yourself (for example, at airline security checkpoints)?

Do you agree that institutions accused of funding terrorism should be shut down, or do you see this a symptom of bias?

Goals in the West: Do you accept that Western countries are majority-Christian and secular or do you seek to transform them into majority-Muslim countries ruled by Islamic law?

It would be ideal if these questions were posed publicly — in the press or in front of an audience — thereby reducing the scope for dissimulation."

No single reply establishes a militant Islamic disposition (plenty of non-Muslim Europeans believe the Bush administration itself carried out the September 11 terrorist attacks); and pretence is always a possibility, but these questions offer a good start to the vexing issue of separating enemies from friends."
