Live and let live. But, the more that I read about Islam, the more confused I get.

LOL!
An Islamic high court on Monday postponed the execution by stoning of a woman convicted of having sex out of wedlock until she weans the baby born of the liaison. Amina Lawal, 30, was convicted and sentenced by an Islamic Shariah court in March after giving birth to a baby girl more than nine months after divorcing.

Don't feel alone. My first look at Islam confused the hell out of me.

Same with Judaism, both unfamiliar to me.

Every religion has it's good and bad points, and I'd offer that the older the religion the more confusing. Some of the most rude, uncouth, discourteous, vulgar, foul, ugly religous arguments I've seen were Christians arguing about the King James Bible.

I guess it's like any other tool. Depends on how you use it.

In my opinion, women who convert to Islam want a MAN to care for them, and they also may be ashamed of their bodies. The thought of covering themselves up is welcome.
In other words, they're NOW drop outs who are hiding from themselves.

They hate the world of womans liberation that they themselves have created!
They're leaving, and making the rest of us clean up after them.
Rather than take the blame themselves, they want their husbands to call a jhad against us to hide their own shame!

There were plenty of midwestern women, even educated ones, who became very active in the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920's. While most people thing extremists are usually men, there are plenty of women who get caught up in crank movements of the right and left as well.... so it's no surprise that a few otherwise normal-seeming American women would find the lunacy (what an appropriate word since Allah was some sort of Arabian moon god) of Mahometanism.

"Yet wearing hijab could not disguise her obvious intelligence or her confident personality"...

Obvious to who?... Who hunts these quacks down and is intertained by their babeling?

"As a Muslim woman, I have dignity and freedom. The Koran says very clearly that men and women are spiritually equal, and that they fulfill each other as partners."

Umm...yeah, as if Islam holds the patent on that...I can think of many religions that hold both sexes to be spiritual equals..

Catholicism seemed rigid and ritualistic in comparison.

From Why Islam Can’t Join the Modern World:

From the moment a Muslim wakes up, he has to start going through a process of rigid procedures. First and foremost, he has to wash a certain way. He even has to clean his nose in a specific manner, and he has to do repeat this procedure three times. This is essential because Islam teaches that the devil spends the night in the cavity of the nose.
...
When taking a bath, Muslims are instructed to wash the lower part of the body and the armpits first. Then they are allowed to wash the rest of their bodies. But it always has to be the right side first and then the left. After this, they have to immediately empty all the water and clean the bath and refill it. Then they can clean off. (I can’t help from observing that this sounds like obsessive compulsive disorder).
Muslims are instructed that they have to use their right side for all things first. For instance, if you are putting on your sneakers, you have to put your right foot into the right sneaker first. The same with taking them off. The same goes with putting on a shirt and which arm goes where etc. When entering a house, you have to enter with the right foot first.
When entering the bathroom, however, a Muslim has to enter with the left foot first, and when coming out, with the right foot first.
...
Before prayers, the body has to be washed in a precise and orderly way (right hand up to the wrist, then left hand, then right arm up to elbow, then left arm, etc). The Muslim has to wipe his head with wet hands, and it is absolutely necessary that this is done with the three fingers between the little finger and the thumb of both hands being joined together.

The institute says there are about 350,000 to 400,000 Muslims in the Chicago area.

It's a target rich environment.

'Long Live Chains', and 'Down with Liberty' were the words used by the leader of the population in Madrid after the abdication of Napoleon. (This was referenced in my favourite film by Luis Bunuel The Phantom of Liberty.)

Goodness...these women make it seem like a game.

I found the entire article repulsive. And no where in this article do either women speak of how mohammed treated women...that he married TWELVE and one of those was a NINE YEAR OLD LITTLE GIRL. Talk about pedophilia. Geeeeeeeez. But I guess the BASEMENT is good enough for these women, when praying in the mosque, after all, they are considered DIRTY as dogs by Islam men, and to allow them into the mosque, proper, would DEFILE the place. Good grief. Allah must be weeping.

One has 7 kids, the other has 8. This does not bode well for the future.

They were born in the U.S.
Terrible things happen in other countries, too.
