After 911, I wanted to find out more about the religion of Islam and I will admit that I thought that it was similar to Christianity with the same God etc...

Soon into doing my research I came to a realization that BOY WAS I WRONG!

Wow!! This religion is messed up folks.

I was dating a Gynecologist and asked her about the mutilation of the female genitalia in the Middle East. She absolutely verified this.

I picked up a book titled The Truth About Muhammad (Founder Of The Worlds Most Intolerant Religion) by Robert Spencer. This is a MUST read if you want to find out more about Muhammad and Islam.

We must be informed about what we are facing.

Mohammed believed in women’s rights? Well that’s very TRUE! He believed in the right of his 6 year old wife to NOT be forced into sex until she was 7!! Sounds like a Gloria Allred award winner to ME!!

“I believe in women’s rights”

“And so did Mohammed”

(and so did his 9-year-old wife)

A very good comment

“Muslim civilisation was, in every instance but one, parasitic. It was the result of Muslims (who were originally semi-barbarous warriors from the Arabian Desert) conquering established civilisations through Jihad and then falling under the civilising influence of those they'd conquered. But, as the historical record shows, as the conquered - under the pressure of discriminatory dhimmi practices and the crippling poll tax imposed on them - increasingly abandoned their historic religion AND civilisation for the social and financial relief of conversion to Islam, civilisation declined, fizzled out and finally disappeared.

“Muslim civilisation was, in every instance but one, parasitic. It was the result of Muslims (who were originally semi-barbarous warriors from the Arabian Desert) conquering established civilisations through Jihad and then falling under the civilising influence of those they'd conquered.

“For at least 500 years the greater part of the Islamic world has been a cultural desert. And the reason has been the prevalence of Islam and Islamic ways of thinking and acting. And when Islam did have a civilisation it was little more than the appropriation and development of the cultural heritage of those they'd conquered.

“The exception I mentioned is Persia. Without Persia a large part of the cultural achievement of Islam wouldn't have existed. But the Persians were heirs to an ancient civilisation before they were conquered by Arab Jihad. And in time they made a point of repudiating Arab Sunni Islam (recognising that traditional 'Islam' is the creed of the Arab) and created their own, national version of Islam, Shi'ism. The Arabs have always hated the Persians, who have always combined pride in their Persian national identity with contempt for the camel-herding desert savages (Persian poets are full of such insulting, race-conscious, remarks about Arabs).

“Any country today that is overwhelmingly Muslim and lacks any kind of attachment to an earlier, non-Muslim heritage of high culture is an orphan of civilisation. No Muslim civilisation ever arose in the past except on the foundation of older non-Muslim cultural achievements. That's why, for instance, the moors could achieve impressive things in those parts of Christian Spain conquered by Jihad, but nothing comparable in their own native North Africa. That's why Muslims could make advances in mathematics when they were exposed to Greek, Babylonian and Indian influences; but as soon as an all-pervasive Islam came to regard these influences as an infidel taint, Islam's contribution to mathematics began to diminish until it could be summed up in one number: 0.

That is beautifully summed up !!

Right to be raped, sold, stoned, traded, clean dishishes, cook, feed livestock and eat when they are full, work the fields, cover their faces and bodies....

I think the aliens in independence day were modeled after muslims. They were basically locust who took over civilizations and consumed the technologies without contributing newly to civilization.

A woman has the right to 1/4 of a husband.

A woman has the right to be free of the responsibilities of an outside job, driving, air blowing threw their hair...

A woman has the right to die to honor her family.

A woman has the right to bear as many children as she is physically capable for the army of alla.

A woman has the right to be free of genetalia.

Thank the profit that alla with feminism’s continued silence has freed 1/5 of all women on the planet. If alla is willing and the feminists keep up their good work, some day all women will be free.

You forgot the right to be a thing, completely owned by the other gender. That kind of covers all the other rights.

[HungarianGypsy]

I think of the movie Ants. Those in charge are afraid of women. If a large group rose up these little men wouldn’t stand a chance and those countries would be better places for those women. But, they somehow have to go from fear to anger at those who overlord them.

And our first battle is right here, among non-Muslims.

Just to add to what you said, Persian art reached its zenith in the early 8th century a.d. They were turning out cultural works greater than the ancient Greeks and Romans at a time when most of European art was on the level of children's crayon drawings by comparison.

Then, guess what happened?

Even to this day, Arabs still resent the Persians because they know this is true.

The BORG seem more plausible as Muslimes. Though I've never seen any Muslim woman like 7 of 9 :)

Women can’t rise up in these cultures ... it’s not possible.
