I went and checked out the article you mention. That is absolutely disgusting, so much for all the lies the Muzzies tell about what a wonderful society Iz lame builds.

Are these the sorts that encouraged their flocks to sit out the elections in 2012, because the didn’t like a Mormon?

No, they would be supporters of any progressive candidate, include Obama in 2012, and Hillary! in 2016 (though their hearts feel the Bern).

And why do so many “Christians”, both Catholic and non-Catholic, vote Democrat when a major plank of their platform is abortion.

Well, what would I know? My husband and I LIVED and worked in the KSA for five years. So we did get to know the culture. Have you lived in a Muslim country? For how long?

Rashputin, I think the Muslim theory and practice on abortion varies from place to place. When my friend E.L. was doing pro-life work in Nigeria, she allied with Muslims who opposed abortion and, even, contraception.
Nigeria is also a black African country, as Egypt (Misr) is an Arab country. Faith looks a bit different I think in those countries. Culture HAS to define the religious practices to some extent.
I always found it IMPOSSIBLE to explain to any American about the middle east. Your words about Nigeria and the Muslim opposition to abortion/contraception will undoubtedly be twisted by those with nothing but hate for Islam/Muslims.
Odd behavior for folks who claim to be Christian.

====================================================

They probably aren't the majority with Islam, but their influence in certain regions is substantial. They have even successfully joined forces with African Anglicans and Catholics in order to block U.N. population control programs in Africa.
There is so much hatred, it seems, of anything about Islam. It seems that some folks forget that they are human beings who, in general, strive to do good.
Condemning ALL the people who practice a faith for the evil that a VERY small number of those people do makes no sense. It doesn't seem to be a very Christian way of practicing their faith when they talk like that about Muslims/Islam.

Thank you for your informative words.

Becuzzzzzz:
-- They are hypocrites about their faith.
-- They vote the way their parents did and always will. Sometimes the secret ballot hides a whole lot of GOP votes from Democrats.
-- They are immature about the entire concept of abortion being murder. I can still hear the screeching of feminists: STAY OUT OF MY WOMB! Horrible women.
-- They haven't really put Christian ethics into their lives.
-- They refuse to acknowledge that Jesus would probably ask them why they are killing/aborting one of His innocent children.

Just some thoughts.

My husband got one from a Saudi contractor years ago.
I did read parts of it. It's a knock-off of the Bible, especially the Old Testament. It's didn't impress me.

I still have it but haven't opened it again for eons.

Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt. Long time ago. Why do you ask ?

Is what Muzzies themselves say and teach an inadequate test when compared to how gracious they are to guests in their homes?

IMHO, all that proves is that when push comes to shove they'll do what their religion dictates in spite of other cultural pressures. A good friend of mine wrote me about how well a guy he worked with treated him every time he visited. The same guy who killed him about two months later. That was in Pakistan, another Muslim nation as well, no ?

This crap with Muzzies has been going on since Carter and getting worse every year right along with the BS getting deeper every year thanks to the well funded Muzzie PR machinery.

I have relatives living in Egypt now, by the by, and I value their views and understanding acquired over the last decade plus more than chit chat in a forum. The MB was following every foreigner who worked for anything not controlled by the MB right up until the military took over. "Arab Spring" arrived and the Egyptian military won't let them drive anywhere without an armed guard ever since.

The Egyptians played it smart, waited until the whole apparatus was mapped and the mobs were tired, then wiped out more of the MB than Nasser had been able to. Nonetheless, those who are dedicated to Iz Lame more than to a secular State are killing and will be killing people, foreigners in particular, for a good long time to come.

Spare me the good things about Muzzies in general, please. When there's no fervor over Jihad or the Mahdi, they're fine. Unfortunately, anyone who actually cares about reality rather than about defending their preconceptions can read history and see a clear cycle that's been running through the Iz Lame Ick world ever since the ninth century.

Expand screaming about Sharia Law and/or the Mahdi, get smacked down, slaughter hordes of one another, have a few generations of somewhat rational behavior, repeat.

JMHo . . . have a nice day
