You are right, ‘religion of peace - huh! Ever notice that most of those who say Isham is a relgion of peace aren’t Islamic?
See post #27, as a percentage of the population 98 is enormous.
And why shouldn’t this practice also make one sick?????
As the mother of a female, disabled, twin, this makes me sick also.
Anyone that automatically thinks this is a terrible practice is either missing a brain or is a coward and lacking the courage to use it.
The appropriate response to this new age PC relativism, this global regression to the cultural death cult of multiculturalism, is clear from Mark Steyn:
“In a more culturally confident age, the British in India were faced with the practice of `suttee’ - the tradition of burning widows on the funeral pyres of their husbands. Gen. Sir Charles Napier was impeccably multicultural: `You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: When men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks, and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.’”
We tolerate the stoning of adulteresses (not adulterers) within the societies ruled by the “religion of peace”. It is reported that over 4,000 homosexuals have been executed in Iran, another product of the “religion of peace”. Two hundred and thirty one years ago today, our Founders signed the Declaration that prioritizes our God given rights. “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” means that life is the paramount right which always trumps the “liberty” of anyone to take that life, and even more warped is abortion in the pursuit of happiness, yet we are closing in on 50 million aborted babies.
Oh, once there was a far more rational time when we understood God’s law and had the confidence in our faith and culture to build the gallows.
Or perhaps hasn't read Mein Kampf.
Great quote.
Some (many?) liberals say, with a straight face, that cultures can’t be superior to one another, or worse, some ludite cultures are superior to western or our culture.

Of course they killed 98 babies and we killed millions over that period.
See post #27, there are less than 2000 members of this tribe in Brazil, and another 15000 or so in Venezuela.
Tribal tradition does not make their assessment true, nor right, in the eyes of their Creator God.
Just because it’s “tribal” doesn’t make it ok, “Professor”.
That is a brilliant point. Thanks for educating me.
And mohammed consumated a marriage with a nine year old girl. Since in islam mohammed’s actions are considered to be sanctioned by allah, I guess we shouldn’t “judge them on the basis of our values” either.
