If the precepts of their religion deny women certain things, then it is not bigotry but faithfulness they are displaying. There have been religions whose tenets were so repulsive to the rest of the peoples of the world that it was found necessary to destroy the people who refused to give up those beliefs. See Aztec sun god sacrifices,Carthage and sacrificing newborn children as a barbaric practice that could never be approved in a modern nation, uh well, only if it might affect the parents' lifestyle or desires or.....

I think the Nazis also demonstrated that evil will triumph unless resolutely confronted.

" explaining that a woman's body "stirs desire" in men. "

Who knew?

I know, shocking news flash, isn't it?

P. J. O'Rourke, I think in his book Give War A Chance, wrote that women dress in the middle East, like fathers would want their teenage daughters to dress.

I agree... good comment. In their minds, those who protest against what she did are really just being faithful to their "religion." (See what I wrote above regarding bidah.)

[Fred Nerks]

I guess this one wasn't being faithfull to islam. I wonder what she did to deserve stoning to death buried up to her chest? She had no lawyer, no defence; just the mercy of allah and sharia. Hope the truth doesn't enrage the followers of mohammed who lurk here.

[festus]

That stirred a definite desire in this man. The desire to hurl.

[hoosierham]

You have to read my entire post. Isaid they were being faithful to their beliefs ,just as ardent Nazis, Aztec?Inca priests, and countless others have been,even as they committed horrible crimes in the eyes of most people.

They are tarnishing Islam in America!

As if homicide bombers and the like weren't doing that and more in Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Chad, Somalia, ad nauseum ...

Terminal stupidity.

[SE Mom]

Sounds like something P.J. O'Rourke would write- great stuff!

[DoctorMichael]

To any pig-sucking Islamists that may be lurking here: STFU.

Have a great day!

[TexasCowboy]

LOL!

Thanks, gunner. You're my favorite folks ping list, too!

I really believe that if the majority of Muslim women ever turn their pent up anger toward Islam, the whole death cult will crumble like a house of cards.

[humblegunner]

They love you, man!

[TexasCowboy]

Yeah, right!

If they were holding my head, they'd love me a lot more!

A liberalized Islam which respected women's rights and didn't have such a virulent, aggressive fundamentalist element would be fine with me.

To tell you the truth, I don't give a damn about Islam, as long as it stays in the Islamic countries, or what the Muslims do or believe in. When the Muslims invade our territory, then it's another story. Either they respect our laws, or else.

I recall a story ,which happened in India, when a Hindu explained to a Bitish official the custom to burn the widow with her husband's corpse. The British replayed :"In England, Sir, such a custom , will make you hang high on a short rope".

A female Islamic law professor condemned the act as apostasy, explaining that a woman's body "stirs desire" in men.

This needs a bit of clarification.

A female's body "stirs desire" in males.
In human men, these desires are controlled.
In animals, these desires are acted upon.

I will leave it to the good 'professor' and others to draw their own conclusions as to who is which.

[Alouette]

In Israel, reform and conservative and self-proclaimed "orthodox" women rabbis are whining that nobody pays any attention to them.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Sometimes.

In human males...not men...these desires are sometimes acted upon. Often in an uncontrolled fashion. True.
In human men...meaning those males who have reached a certain level of maturity and civilized behavior by conscious decision or force of will and character...these desires are controlled.
Keeping in mind that controlled does not necessarily imply restrained.
