PLEASE NOTE this story was May 2004, Not 2005, but I couldn't find it on a quick search of the board. abu

This is from last year. Anyhow, it is very good advice, especially for Christian women.

[King Prout]

pffft.

MUSLIM women should be wary of marrying Muslim men.
that the rest of the world's women should be leery goes without saying.

Maybe an older story, but an important one. Catholics and for that matter anyone in the US thinking of marrying a Muslim should either read the book or see the movie, "Not Without My Daughter" before saying "I do." Muslims hate that book and movie, but it tells a story that's been told before and after the book was published, many times over.

good, sensible advice.

I think Muslims hate any book other than the Qu'ran.

Haha, believe it or not, my 2nd grade teacher showed us that movie in class!

"This issue arose last month when Muslims in Spain asked to be able to pray in Cordoba cathedral, which was once a mosque."

One of the most astonishing places that I have ever visited.

I agree. Muslim women married or not don't have much going for them in their society. I hope Catholics pay attention. The new pope is right. Pope John was too open to Muslims. Christians beliefs are polar opposites from what Muslims believe. You never compromise your own religious beliefs. If you do, your beliefs were not sincere to begin with. Muslims are ready to give their lives for their beliefs. Are you ready to give yours for your Christian beliefs?

[King Prout]

well, I am not Christian, so: nope, n/a.

however, as I'd far rather live in a constitutional republic, strongly based on Christian and Christian-derived principles, than I would under a sharia-based hellhole...

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican warned Catholic women on Friday to think hard before marrying a Muslim and urged Muslims to show more respect for human rights, gender equality and democracy.

We should not be unequally yoked, Jesus said so.

My, you post very well for your age (LOL).

What can I say, maybe the public school system isn't so bad? :)

Excellent advice!

and urged Muslims to show more respect for human rights, gender equality and democracy.

They might as well urge the Sun to rise in the North and set in the South.

Let's not forget the goats... Goats should also be very, VERY wary about getting within a mile of a Muslim.
