It's time to know Muslims better

It's time for Muslims to know America!

[Don Myers]

"Suddenly it seems a good idea to get to know Muslims much better."

It depends on who the Muslims are, I guess. Our guys in Afghanistan are getting real personal with some Muslims.

[RobbyS]

In basic herd terms, it seems quite simple: they guard their women and hit on ours, to increase the size of their harums and diminish ours.

Read the Quran and the Hadith.. These will help all seekers understand islamic law and the vagrancies of the Muslim faith. They are so contractory and intellectually disjointed in circular logic that nobody can say much more than the this: Muhammad is the prophet of God, why: because the Quran says so. Why is the Quran true? Because Muhammad said so.. Also investigate why Malcom X was snuffed 2/11/65. He found the hereitcal and racist nature of the black Muslim movement in America as a sham.. Yes, investigate these cookbooks. No wonder they are confused at the gates...

Yup, and in one of two ways: (1) as a friendly, peace-loving nation to respect or (2) at the end of a gun watching a bullet coming. It's a binary thing now.

One of the problems in Arab countries is that they expect their women to be chaste but the men are allowed to be like dogs in heat. No wonder they have problems. The men walk around all fired up and the women are bundled up in shrouds. They ogle and makes passes at American women here but expect their women to be ignored.

It boils down to this. Islam is a primitive relgion that cannot coexist with the modern world. They are correct when they believe that exposure to the western world will change or destroy their relgion, and they are desperately attempting to stop the future. In other words, how ya gonna keep 'em in the tent, after they've seen TV?

Eventually, modern culture will overtake them, but not without a massive, ugly fight.

YOU HAVE A HAREM! What, are you in Utah? :)

When muslims worldwide take to the streets to condemn the 9-11 atrocities, and their imams totally condemn Osama and Al Qaida and all of these terrorists, then I will feel a desire to get to know moslems better.

Until that day, the above is just about all I feel I need to know about moslems: millions of them want me and my family and my nation dead.

[calljack]

I don't need to know them better. I just want to know where they live.

Islam is a sexist religion. It is almost too much to put into words. So no one tells is like it really is.

"Outside, I asked the guide why she could not go in. She giggled and said women could not attend the services lest the men have forbidden thoughts."

The Muslim men are separated from the women, because they pray with their rear in the air, bowed down. Can you imagine a woman amongst them, bowed down like that? That would be just too tempting.

If gas is expelled while praying, they do not believe that God accepts that, so they must start their prayer all over again. Pity the poor guy with the gas, and the ones behind him. I think it is unimaginable, at least, it was for me.

This is exactly why we're so angry after Friday prayers!

LOL. And besides that, did you know that you should drink camel urine as medicine, that Satan urinates in your ear if you fall asleep during prayers, that Satan stays in the upper part of the nose all night, and that not just passing gas, but yawning and bad breath are also from Satan?

Cordially

When Islam claims to be tolerant, I can say was to me.

Another self absorbed twit who is the center of the universe, and whose pathetic little sidetrip into a mosque is a substitute for knowledge of the past and the present.
Sure is easy.
What a shallow, superficial, insignificant definition of tolerance!

Mr Roughan, if you be a Christian, take your bible to Saudi Arabia.
Assuming you make it past customs, find a church of your denomination anywhere in Saudi Arabia.

Found one?
Methinks you might be starting to become aware of the real meaning of tolerance.

Twit!

[Publius6961]

What a pathetic attempt at Arabprop, Abdul...

[white trash redneck]

You have it exactly right.

[CaptRon]

All I got out of this was that women cause all of the trouble in the world.

[a_Turk]

I knew I was going to get a lot of hate posted as a result. I could not help post this man's opinion.

I think much of what has been posted here represents reactions to the quality of the mainstream followers of Islam. I don't take it personally. I condemn terrorism, and I condemn hate.
