These people are barbarians toward each other....but then they are really simply acting out at the level of ignorance and uncivilized behavior their Koran and religious leaders teaches them. All of which it’s motive and reasoning comes from hearts full of hate entrenched in them from childhood on. More than fair to say they not only abuse each other but likely for that have steep mental problems as well.
I read an article about that very thing...that many Mulims have serious mental issues from the abuses they have gotten from family memebers throughout their life.
Most of it really comes from the hadith, but it’s in there.

Obligation of Hijab as Stated in Qur’an
{ “O Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (jalabib) close round them (when they go abroad)...”} (33:59)
Ibn Rushd in Bidaya al-Mujtahid (1:83) said that this verse has been adduced as proof that no part of a woman’s body should be evident to those who are not among the prohibited degrees of relationship (mahram) or her husband. Al-Qurtubi in his commentary on the verse said that the jilbab is the cloak that conceals all of the body including the head.
{ “And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms...” (24:31) “…only that which is apparent” } applies to women’s face and hands.
{ “... And when you ask of them (the wives of the Prophet) anything, ask it of them from behind a veil. . .” } (33:53) Al-Qurtubi said in commentary of this verse: “The consensus of Muslims is that the genitals and backside constitute nakedness for men and women, as well as all of woman except her face and hands, but some disagreed about the latter two.” This means the consensus of Muslims included them in the definition of her nakedness based on verse 33:59 and the hadith cited below.
Obligation of Hijab as Stated in Hadith
Among proofs for the veil in the Sunna are the following authentic hadiths (traditional reports) of the Prophet :
“Ayesha (rad.i-Allahu `anha) reported that Asma’ the daughter of Abu Bakr (rad.i-Allahu `anhu) came to the Messenger of Allah while wearing thin clothing. He approached her and said: ‘O Asma’! When a girl reaches the menstrual age, it is not proper that anything should remain exposed except this and this. He pointed to the face and hands.” [Abu Dawud]
Ibn Qudama in al-Mughni (1:349) explained that showing the face and hands are a specific dispensation within the general meaning of the hadith “All of the woman’s body is considered her nakedness [to those outside the mahram relationship or her husband].” (al-mar’atu `awra)
`Ayesha (rad.i-Allahu `anha) said: “I used to enter the room where the Messenger of Allah and my father (Abu Bakr) were later buried in without having my garment on me, saying it is only my husband and my father. But when ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattab (rad.i-Allahu `anh) was later buried in (the same place), I did not enter the room except that I had my garment on being shy from ‘Umar.”
The Prophet’s specification to Umm Salama that women should also cover their feet in prayer, narrated in the Sunan. This included the feet into the definition of her legal nakedness. “Women who are clothed but (at the same time) naked , turning their heads sideways this way and that like the humps of the camel, shall never enter Paradise nor even smell its fragrance.”
The jurists have divided woman’s nakedness into two categories:
*
Lesser nakedness (`awra mukhaffafa): the face, hands, head, neck, forearms, feet, torso and back.
*
Greater nakedness (`awra mughallaza): all of her body except the above parts.
`Ayesha’s (rad.i-Allahu `anha) strictness on the question is a well known saying, “When a woman reaches puberty she must cover whatever her mother and grandmother must cover.” A woman’s covering (al-khimar) is defined by `Ayesha as “nothing short of what covers both the hair and skin.” (innama al-khimaru ma wara al-sha`r wa al-bashar).
Covering the Face
The khimar (pl. khumur) actually refers to the head covering, so that a better translation of 24:31 would be: “and to draw their headcovers (khumurihinna) over their bosoms...” (24:31)
It is essential to understand the two interpretations of the command to “draw their headcovers over” among the women of the Companions and the generation that immediately succeeded them, on which are based the two views of the Four Schools, namely, cover everything or expose only the face and hands:
Some women drew from the top down, some from the sides and over. The result for the first category was to cover the face, while the second category left the face uncovered according to one’s own discretion.
Following are two hadiths that illustrate the use of the khimar (face-veil) applied by women Companions of the verse quoted above.
Abu Hurayra gave the following account of his mother’s conversion: I came to the Prophet Allah bless and greet him — weeping one day and said: “O Messenger of Allah, I have been inviting my mother to Islam and she has been refusing. Today I asked her again, and she said something about you which I hated to hear. Ask Allah to guide Abu Hurayra’s mother!” Whereupon the Prophet Allah bless and greet him - said: “O Allah! Guide Abu Hurayra’s mother.” Then I returned home cheered up by the Prophet’s Allah bless and greet him - supplication. When I arrived at the door of the house I found it closed. Hearing my footsteps, my mother said: “Abu Hurayra, do not come in yet.” I could hear the sound of water. She washed herself and wore her robe (dir’) and headcover (khimâr) then she opened the door and said: “Abu Hurayra! I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s servant and messenger!” I returned at once to the Prophet Allah bless and greet him —, weeping for joy, and said to him: “O Messenger of Allah, good news! Allah has answered your request and guided my mother!” He glorified and praised Allah, thanking Him and saying good things. I said: “O Messenger of Allah! Ask Allah that He make me and my mother beloved to his believing servants and that He make them beloved to us.” The Prophet Allah bless and greet him - said: “O Allah! Make Your little servant (here meaning Abu Hurayra) and his mother beloved to Your believing servants, and make the believers beloved to the two of them.” Not one believer is brought into existence who hears about me without seeing me except he loves me.
Ayesha (rad.i-Allahu `anha) said: “By Allah, I never saw any women better than the women of the Ansar (i.e. the women of Madina) or stronger in their confirmation of Allah’s Book! When Sura al-Nur was revealed — “and to draw their ‘khumur’ over their bosoms” (24:31) — their men went back to them reciting to them what Allah had revealed to them, each man reciting it to his wife, daughter, sister, and relative. Not one woman among them remained except she got up on the spot, tore up her waist-wrap and covered herself from head-to-toe (i`jtajarat) with it. They prayed the very next dawn prayer covered from head to toe (mu`tajirat).”
And Allah knows best.
GFH
The power centers in the ME are about to explode. If they do, there will be a very long, very bloody war. Remember the iran/iraq war. The most we can hope for is that they kill each other in so many numbers we have less to worry about. At least, it will give us time. At best, they will decimate each other. For this NOT to happen, ONE side will have to give in and voluntarily give up their own power and I don’t see that happening any time soon.
Interesting read in this article......
“The Making of the Muslim Mind “
How Muslim minds are groomed to become lifelong zombies that they can’t apply minimum logic and reason to discover numerous obvious errors and contradictions in the Quran and that they consider the most horrendous, unethical and barbarous actions of Muhammad as acts of great morality and humanity...
http://www.islam-watch.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=90
Apparently in France this is not the case from the clerics there who have stated the Hijab is a Taliban requirement and has nothing to do with modesty...That it is not in Koran...though the Hadith might imply so it was a manmade requirement which never came from Muhammed or the Koran...in other words Allah does not require it.
As with all things, they don’t ever agree on anything and make it up as they go. Give them an inch and they think they have conquered the whole world.
Some of their imam-approved laws are so ridiculous, you wonder how they ever survived. One of the craziest I know of is disallowing toothbrushes. If you must clean your teeth, you have to use a twig from a certain tree or else you are in violation. No wonder their teeth fall out.
This will only go so far Mesta as there is too much to gain by refraining or finding solutions. The political side of Islamic leadership is dictating to the clerics to calm the masses and redirecting their rage toward the "infidels"...America, Britain etc. One day it will expode over there but not at this time...the people can be controlled by the clerics....and even if they fire at the protestors etc. It will cease in time. But I don't see an actual war between these ME nations yet. They will unite however to face down the "Infidels". If there is any war it will be the Islamic nations making a deal with Russia for Isreal. Which will backfire on the Islamic nations.
I am LOLROTF! That sounds just like our politicians...that was a good one Mesta!
You know when you see the faces of these children you know the very spirit God gave them has been sucked out of them by Islam teachings. They never know a childhood without hate being introduced as a main course every single day.
Respectfully, I have to disagree. Russia would be insane to agree to that. And I don’t think they will. Israel is far more valuable to them and the danger of islam making an all out push on Russia is too great.
And the history of islam does not have precedent for settlng things politically. By the sword or not at all. The sauds will not share, or voluntarily give up power to appease tehran and vice versa.
They can always go after the infidels, but first the question of where the center of islam is must be decided. A house divided cannot stand. islam is full of inbred irrationalities. They do not think with western logic.
Imagine; if Arianna carried the message/warning - or Whoopi or Joy - the 'aha' going off in Feminist Lib brains. (To which I hear the refrain; If I only had a brain. . .)
Report: Coup Attempt In Iran? 37 Officers Arrested
Posted by Reza Kahlili Apr 19th 2011 at 12:12
Reports from inside Iran indicate that dozens of Revolutionary Guard commanders belonging to it’s Ground Forces have been arrested and charged with plotting a coup.
Based on the same reports, last night 37 Guards’ commanders were arrested and transferred to the Gohardasht prison to be transferred today to prison 66 which is run by the Guards . Those arrested had plans to takeover 130 key institutions in Tehran.
The recent conflicts within the Ministry of Intelligence & Security reportedly have resulted from the Revolutionary Guards’ intelligence unit’s desire to control the Ministry.

Jihad, Zakat, and a Really Ignorant Leftist Blogger
Posted by Dave Reaboi Apr 18th 2011
This past weekend, I mocked Matt Duss, the National Security Editor at the Center for American Progress for refusing to meet me for a debate on the threat of Shariah. I noted how truly embarrassing Duss’ lack of knowledge about his subject matter is; I’m not exactly concerned about the return George Soros and other far-left donors get on their investment into ThinkProgress, but a “National Security Editor” of such a massively-endowed political warfare operation should have some more chops.
Duss tweets today:
mattduss Head sharia bedwetter Frank Gaffney claims “shariah requires its adherents to make” contributions to terrorism. http://bit.ly/i0yB6C
As is the case with most drive-by posts on Twitter, there’s no analysis there. He links to an article by Frank Gaffney called ‘Enabling the Muslim Brotherhood in America’
snip
The problem with Duss’ snide, outraged tone is that the rules on zakat enumerated in Shariah do indeed require a contribution to jihad.
snip
Does CAIR Qualify to Recieve Zakat?
Yes. Numerous Muslim scholars have confirmed that Zakat is payable to organizations that exist to serve the Muslim community by protecting their rights. This is because the work done by CAIR (and other such organizations) can be classified as fi-sabilillah, which is one of the eight categories of Zakat recipients detailed in the Quran (Chapter 9, Verse 60).
We know from the Holy Land Foundation trial that CAIR is among the Muslim Brotherhood-associated groups that think of their work in the West as a “kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within, and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” That “sabotage” is a lot easier when, as Obama assured the Muslim world in Cairo– who know all about the eight categories of zakat and its Fisabililah provision– that the spigot for jihad will not get turned off under his watch.
Matt Duss, you lose again.
Enabling the Muslim Brotherhood in America
Frank Gaffney, Jr.
April 19, 2011
The Muslim Brotherhood's mask is slipping in Egypt. Small "d" democrats there and elsewhere are alarmed by top Brotherhood officials who now aver openly what has been utterly predictable: Once in power they will impose shariah - the totalitarian, supremacist politico-military-legal program practiced in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Somalia, Sudan and increasingly elsewhere.
The prospect that the most populous Arab nation - one that sits astride the strategic Suez Canal and has a vast American-supplied arsenal - is heading in such an ominous direction is made all the more remarkable since evidence continues to accumulate that the Obama administration has been enabling the rise of the Ikhwan (as the Muslim Brotherhood, or MB, is known in Arabic). Consider a few data points:
•In May 2009, President Obama insisted that MB representatives be prominently in attendance when he addressed "the Muslim world" at Cairo's Al-Azhar University. As former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy has observed, the message of American legitimization of the Brotherhood was unmistakable. •Wikileaked cables make clear that the U.S. government was working with Muslim Brotherhood and other opposition parties to bring down the Mubarak government long before the so-called "Arab Spring" of 2011. •Within days of demonstrations erupting in Tahrir Square and elsewhere in Egypt, President Obama was calling for his Egyptian counterpart's immediate removal from power - the sort of statement he has studiously refrained from making in Iran or Syria where demonstrations have gone on longer, and been far more bloodily repressed. The cumulative effect of such actions has been to encourage events and a vacuum of power that predictably would redound primarily to the benefit of the most organized, disciplined and ruthless faction. In Egypt - as in much of the Muslim world - that is the Muslim Brotherhood.
It seems that Team Obama's enthusiasm for the Ikhwan in Egypt is neither an isolated event nor an accident. As the Center for Security Policy's recently released Shariah: The Threat to America illuminates, the Brotherhood has since 1963 operated a growing number of front organizations tasked with mounting highly effective influence operations in the United States. According to the MB's own strategic plan, their mission here is "a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within."
In the past week, we have been given chilling insights into the success of such operations by Justice Department officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to one of Shariah: The Threat's co-authors, counter-terrorism expert Patrick Poole. In two differentarticles published at Pajamas Media, we learn how U.S. government "outreach" to the Muslim-American community has become a vehicle for empowering and protecting enemies of this country - and affording them opportunities they systematically exploit with the goal of "destroying [us] from within."
Of particular concern is Poole's revelation that political appointees in the Obama-Holder Justice Department have been responsible for "quashing" the prosecution of some of the Brotherhood's operatives and organizations. According to one DoJ source, the reason the U.S. Attorney in Dallas was not allowed to pursue the planned indictment of MB individuals and entities previously listed as Unindicted Co-Conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation trial was "a political decision from the get-go." The source added: "The administration would look like absolute fools. It's kind of hard to prosecute someone on material support for terrorism when you have pictures of them getting handed awards from DoJ and FBI leaders for their supposed counter-terror efforts."
This act of what appears, at best, to be obstruction of justice may not be an isolated incident. In his April 16 column at National Review Online, Andy McCarthy surmises that the suppression of the Holy Land 2.0 prosecution and the absence subsequently of any similar efforts to stop material support for terrorism could have their roots in the President's 2009 paean to Islamists and other Muslims in Cairo.
On that occasion, Mr. Obama promised to ease U.S. "rules on charitable giving [that] have made it harder for Muslims to fulfill their religious obligation" of zakat (or tithing). Yet, McCarthy rightly notes the only "rules" that might fit that description are ones prohibiting funding of terrorism - a "charitable" contribution shariah requires its adherents to make - and it appears that Team Obama no longer will enforce them.
If there is any good news, it is that Rep. Sue Myrick (R-NC) last week became the latest congressional leader to launch a series of hearings aimed at examining the Muslim Brotherhood, abroad and here. In an interview on Secure Freedom Radio Monday, she made clear her intention to have the Terrorism Subcommittee of the House Intelligence Committee clarify the true nature of the Ikhwan and to explore, if necessary in classified sessions, its successes in penetrating and influencing our government. Chairman Myrick said, "I am very concerned how this is all playing out internally....This something that most people don't have a clue...it's not on their radar screen....This will undermine our way of life if we don't get a handle on it."
It is indeed time to "get a handle" on the Muslim Brotherhood and the threat it poses to "our way of life." The place to start is with rigorous congressional investigations of the Ikhwan's myriad front organizations and the effectiveness of their influence operations in warping our understanding of the threat they pose and in thwarting our efforts to defeat it.

Furious George’s Terrorist Training Program
Free Republic | 4/20/11 | Alan Levy
Posted on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 4:41:48 AM by Absolutely Nobama
Did you know that George $oros, everyone’s least favorite Nazi collaborator and socialist sugar daddy, and his Open Society Institute are helping Palestinian college students come to the United States to earn their degrees ? Did you know that you, the taxpayer are helping to pay for it ? Feel like tossing your cookies like Mary Kate Olsen yet ? Check this out:
“The PFDP [Palestininian Faculty Development Program] aims to increase the capacity of higher education faculty in the West Bank and Gaza by addressing the long-term issues of reform in teaching and learning practices. The program provides scholarship support for Palestinian faculty to pursue a graduate degree in the United States or to engage in curriculum development, research, or teaching at a partner university. In this way, PFDP promotes the expansion, retention, and professional development of promising academics teaching in the social sciences and humanities. It also revitalizes and reforms teaching in Palestinian higher education institutions. This program is a partnership between USAID, the Open Society Institute, and U.S. universities.”
http://www.usaid.gov/wbg/misc/EDO/PFDP%20fact%20sheet.pdf
Oh, this gets better. One of the universities the PFDP is working with is Al-Azhar University in Cairo. Some of its more infamous graduates and attendeees are: Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood and Omar Abdel Rahman, leader of the Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya terrorist group, who is currently serving a life sentence for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The most famous graduate of this fine institution of learning is Mohammad Amin al-Husayni, better known as the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who helped Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler recruit Bosnian Muslims for the Waffen-SS. Nice, huh ?
In May 2009, President Obama insisted that Muslim Brotherhood representatives be prominently in attendance when he addressed “the Muslim world” at Cairo’s Al-Azhar University.
Anymore there is nothing which can surprise or shock me this President does. He thinks he can lead the world while the world leaders go all the way to the bank laughing at him.
Top o’ the mornin Mesta!!
It’s actually the bottom’o’the mornin’ about now. LOL. But Greetings back atcha. How you doin’?
