“..Brewer was “impressed by the conduct of Muslims” in their kindness.”

Kindness!! Brewer should visit the ME or other Muslim countries and see who runs the charities - NOT the Muslims.

Brewer should also contact charities here in the US and find out who are usually the contributors - either Christian or Jewish organizations, but NOT the Muslims.

“If I am a beautiful girl in a mini skirt and have long blonde hair, maybe he’s thinking about what I am saying but maybe he’s thinking about how beautiful I am,” Brewer said.

Sounds like something Paris Hilton would say.

“They listen more carefully to what I say because here’s this different girl, ‘I can’t see her hair!’ So people will want to hear what I have to say.”


I’ve only read her words and have no idea what she looks like so I feel that her desire to be ‘heard’ rather than only ‘seen’ has been met. Unfortunately for her, it no longer matters what she looks like...she is an IDIOT. There is no excuse for this. I would equate it with a decision to start smoking for the health benefit.

Wait till she wakes up and decides she doesn’t want to be a Muslim anymore. Walking away from Islam is not something people are just allowed to do there sweetheart.

I absolutely agree with what you’ve all written, but what I fail to see is why this absurdity was important enough to gain media attention. She’s clearly not the brightest card in the deck, and the fact that her parents are “accepting” of this nonsense is appalling. As she speaks about her reasons, she sounds ridiculous. But the bigger question, of course, is does she realize that wearing a head scarf is only secondary in importance to putting a bomb under her shirt and blowing up Americans?

I'd bet she's not.

Brewer was "impressed by the conduct of Muslims"

So, she was impressed that the hijackers killed thousands of innocents????

Silly, naive twunts like this will be the death of us.

Yes, I’ve always been singularly impressed with the “kind” way they lop off the heads of infidels to save them from future sinning.

"Islam gives different roles to men and women, but they are equal roles," Brewer said.

If you belive that then you have the IQ of a door knob

“Has she had her clitorectomy yet?”

I just finished reading Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s book, “Infidel”. She describes in detail this barbaric operation that she was subjected to as a young child, without anesthesia, by her grandmother. The grandmother had this done to her and her younger sister while the more modern parents were away. The sister committed suicide in her early adulthood.

She now works at a conservative think tank in the US, because too many death threats were being made in the Netherlands where, as member of parliament, she promoted measures protecting muslim women from their men. She lived in Muslim communities of her native Somolia, Saudi Arabia, and Kenya before escaping her marriage by going to Europe. She also describes how she slowly but surely lost her faith, so as to become an Infidel.

Who is she to tell women what they should and shouldn’t desire? Attraction is a natural part of life, and something that many women hold dear and sacred.

Those who “can’t” are so embittered and feel the need to ruin others personal joy.

Any man who prays or prophesies with something on his head disgraces his head, but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled disgraces her head—it is one and the same thing as having her head shaved. For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, she should wear a veil. For a man ought not to have his head veiled, since he is the image and reflection of God; but woman is the reflection of man. (NRSV, 1 Corinthians 11:4-7)
