Why should non-Muslims be required to abide by what is after all a ritual than a moral prohibition? Transporting a non-Muslim's dog or liquor would not endanger a Muslim's soul; he's not asked to adopt either one but just to get a non-Muslim with those goods to where the non-Muslim wants to go. In a free society, every one has to observe the same moral rules but people can differ as to whether they care to observe some particular religious ritual obligation.

How about all these Muslims who work in convenience stores that sell beer?

What if I were to get in the cab and eat a hot dog or sausage sandwich? Will that be next?

There is no comparing ritual prohibitions with moral prohibitions. Christians argue that taking the life of a human fetus where the mother's life is not endangered is immoral. And so do religious Jews (and Muslims) and many secular individuals -- because the issue of abortion is a moral issue. Contact with dogs, on the other hand, is a ritual issue, not a moral issue.

This is a revelation. It gets to the heart of the difference between mohamadanism and religion. The muslims do not have any moral code; they expunged morality and imposed ritual in its place.

This is not religion, it's mass hypnosis.

I am in Spain at the moment, and a friend of mine hired a Moroccan woman to look after a place the family owns out in the country. There are a couple of dogs there.

The Muslim woman was initially fine with this, but then she married another Muslim - an "imam" from Morocco. Suddenly she started appearing in a full veil, and then she stopped feeding the dogs. My friend now goes out to feed the dogs and has gotten some self-feeders and self-waterers for them so the Muslim woman won't have anything to do with them.

I think she should fire the woman, although it might be difficult with Spanish laws. Also, she feels sorry for the Muslim woman, who told her that she was so grateful to this man who married her, because she has some sort of problem with one eye that makes her damaged goods in the Muslim slave - er, wife - market and she was afraid nobody would marry her.

The Muslim woman is obviously being used by her husband as a kind of advance guard. I hate to think what kind of meetings might be taking place at that house, btw, when the Muslims are around there between the my friend's visits.
