Here is a prediction that is a lock:

The lack of an outcry from our radical feminists will be deafening.

Don't expect to see Gloria Allred on the tube espousing this woman's cause.

"...as she began questioning what she said were hate-filled sermons by Arab students who had taken over her mosque.

We're shocked! Simply shocked! Who would think Islam was filled with hate? No one at this site. No siree.

And let's see how quickly the mainstream media will attack this blatant sexism in the religious world. And how quickly CAIR will chastise the leaders of the Morgantown mosque...


waiting


still waiting...

oh yeah, right - there's no catholic or protestant church to attack in the story so we'll only hear the crickets... :(

TERRORISM SOLUTION

Islam is NOT a religion – it is a CULT OF HATE.

Islam is an organization dominated by criminally minded thug-killer males who kill those who disagree with them or will not convert to their ideology. These men enslave and brutally abuse women and indoctrinate children with violent and hateful beliefs. They are intent on world domination by any means at their disposal, including bloody acts of terrorism and violent invasion. These demented men are under the delusion that they will receive 72 virgins as a reward for killing Jews and Christians.

Several steps are necessary to save America from the pending violence and tyranny of islam:

1) Congress to declare islam is NOT a religion, but instead a cult-of-hate functioning as an organized crime and terrorist association seeking to kill infidels (i.e.. Jews and Christians) and to impose islamic law on the world;
2) Congress to ban the practice of islam in the US, state legislatures to follow with similar state laws;
3) President to declare martial law (in response to certain-to-come terrorist attacks in US -- which was founded on Judeo/Christian principles) and suspend the constitution to enact these measures, in order to save this country;
4) Muslim schools shall be closed, because muslim schools teach children the violent tenants of islam (with no regard to reading, writing or computing) and such teaching amounts to child abuse,
5) Muslim parents, because of their beliefs, deemed unqualified to raise children (see TIME Magazine story, July 26, 2004, for further examples of muslim fathers/males who order their sons/brothers to kill sisters or mothers if they suspect their infidelity,) hence, child welfare agencies to remove children from muslim homes and place them in Jewish and Christian foster homes;
6) Adult muslims get 30 days to renounce islam and convert to a peaceful religion, or be immediately deported to a muslim country. If they renounce islam and stay, they shall enter a cult de-programming therapy program for 3-5 years. Those in this country illegally shall be deported immediately;
7) Immediately halt immigration from all islamic countries (except for persecuted Christians and Jews.) Deny immigration or entry to any muslim individual.

This definition is not inconsistent with Islam being a "religion".

2) Congress to ban the practice of islam in the US, state legislatures to follow with similar state laws;

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.... Furthermore, every state constitution, including yours, guarantees the right to worship freely.

3) President to declare martial law (in response to certain-to-come terrorist attacks in US -- which was founded on Judeo/Christian principles) and suspend the constitution to enact these measures, in order to save this country;

Hey! Suddenly we can trust the government with unlimited authority! What a relief for those of us who lived through the Clinton years.

4) Muslim schools shall be closed, because muslim schools teach children the violent tenants of islam (with no regard to reading, writing or computing) and such teaching amounts to child abuse,

"Computing" aside (whatever that may mean), madrassas do indeed teach reading and writing.

6) Adult muslims get 30 days to renounce islam and convert to a peaceful religion, or be immediately deported to a muslim country. If they renounce islam and stay, they shall enter a cult de-programming therapy program for 3-5 years.

Odd that "forcible conversion" was one of the things you cited as wrongdoing by Muslims...

As I have come to learn about the "religion" of Islam, the one indisputable fact is that it is mysognistic. IMO, any society or culture that treats women as chattel has no right to exist. I still remember the photo of a woman being shot in the head in some Afgan arena for some minor offense, and all the other horrific actions of the Taliban and other Islamofacists.

For the life of me, I just can't understand why any women who has read the Quran or Hadith would subscibe to such a belief. Guess it's that indoctrination thing.

In any Muslim country in the world she would already be dead.

In their campaign to silence her, she has been depicted as heretical, misguided and westernized, someone in need of reform.

Can someone from the government please explain to me what justification there is for having people move here who do not wish to blend into our society?

If it's a sin for these people to become westernized, then send them the ---- home!  Allah forbid that they sould be temped by our nation.

And I've heard hysterical ignorance like yours before, which is why it wasn't terribly difficult for me to put together a quick reply. Your willingness to abandon the Constitution and the ideals of limited government in order to crush Islam was entertaining, however. Another fair-weather conservative.

Yeah. Wasn't it Mohammed's wife who bankrolled him, and what about Fatima, his daughter? I think Islam originally respected women more, although the Koran pretty much denigrates them.

We don't need the government to explain this to us, they work for us. We should demand an end to this immigration without assimilation (no matter what the group) immediately. Start deporting their A$$es.
