Comparing islam and christianity, initial notes (A feminist converts to islam and is frustrated)

In all of my studies, Islam was the one faith most compatible with so-called ‘Western’ thought.

But I thought that "western civilization" was a bad thing!

[wideawake]

I was moved by Sufi poets and the beauty of a faith that allowed for pluralism. I enjoyed the sense of unity that came with performing rituals alongside other Muslims. I was thrilled to discover a belief system that was not at odds with scientific knowledge. The Islam I came to know allowed for diversity in interpretation and encouraged the pursuit of knowledge and critical thinking.

What is her argument here?

That there are no Christian poets?

That Christianity does not allow pluralism?

That Christians do not perform rites together in groups?

That Christianity is incompatible with scientific research?

That Christianity does not permit diversity in theological interpretation?

That Christianity discourages education?

That Christianity discourages critical thinking?

Her "reasoning" for her embrace of Islam is nonsensical and seems more an irrational rejection of Christianity than an informed conversion to something else.

Welcome to islam!!! Did you actually think that any muslim man would allow you your own thoughts or free will??? You got suckered and now according to the rules of islam you are there for life. You are no little more than breeding stock in the islam pasture. Men will be telling you for the rest of your life what to think, how to think, and what you will be doing.
You’ve gone from feminist to slave. Again, welcome to islam!!!!!

Yeah, I know why the Crusades were fought.

I had spent three years studying various religions and belief systems before taking this important step in my spiritual journey.

Journey over. No do-overs. Enjoy your new status.

Have you read “The P.I.G. to Islam and the Crusades”?

Just about finished with it myself.

This poor wittle feminist has been brainwashed into the idea that the White Man is the cause of all evil in the world,

and that little brown muslims are peaceful and simply have to lash out at the oppression of the EWM (Eeeeevil White Male).

[wastedyears]

No, never heard of that.

[wastedyears]

Along with other groups now.

[Zionist Conspirator]

A true classic. She converted not to the real Islam, but to a phantom Islam that exists only in her mind.

Westerners who rebel against Mommy and Daddy tend to make up their own versions of exotic foreign religions.

Precisely. Hillary hated her father. So, she will likely be elected President and the rest of us have to suffer because Hillary hated her father and found comfort in Communism.

Hill, how about see a psychiatrist and sparing the rest of us your Papa hatred? I even volunteer to pay for your treatment! I am a Republican and believe that private donations should be used for social problems rather than the government. Call me Hill!

This woman is LOST, as are so many in our country now. She bounces from the “religion” of feminism, to Islam, probably with a few stops at Environmentalism or Wicca on the way. The present ethos of our modern society is that Religion/spirituality is viewed as a buffet. Take a few morsels from whatever is spread out on the table.

Sorry, baby, you checked into the Hotel CALIPHornia. You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.

She traded the truth for a lie. She traded the light for the darkness. She traded the one and only son of God and the Messiah for a false prophet named Mohammed and his demonic book the Koran. Now she belongs to the devil. Very sad.

Islam-list

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

The idiocy of human beings never ceases to amaze me. What did she think was going to happen. . .that she was going to become a Muslim and set all those burka- wearing women free?

Well of course shge's an idiot...she actually went to college and paid in the neighborhood of $100K to minor in Woman's Studies.
