I saw one answer a couple of weeks ago that said that forcing sex on the wife(s) was OK. Since 9/11 I have been reading a lot and looking around the net. I've even gone to middle eastern sites and then used Arabic-English translators. I just did not believe that Islam was evil. But after seeing what I have seen and talking to "women of cover" I was really wondering. Certainly no religion would teach such things. The bottom line? The "Ask the Imam" site is tame in some ways. Islam is scary to me because at it's core it takes away self-determination and self-control and replaces it with external controls seem to be almost a form of Pavlovian conditioning.
Islam in it's most benign form is anti-American. By that, I mean that it's total converse to our founding fathers design for this country. In it's more radical form it's cancerous to a free republic.
