Faith Freedom International

An organization created by mostly ex-Muslims to educate
Muslims and others about the "real" Islam.
We are against Hate, not anyone's Faith.

I could unconfuse you if I could find a boring, long-winded, untruthful treatise on Racial Equality written by the Grank Wizard of the KKK. Both cults = death and suffering.

We had a short interlude on a thread yesterday about your mamalist (s**t list) of islam websites. Today you show your colors. I don't know who you are but have come to the conclusion that you have much sympathy for the devils of islam. Yesterday you gave me a song and dance about being informed and today are trying to immerse the entire FR with this islam crap. I think you speak out both sides of your mouth and your tounge is forked. Go away!

You want us to believe that serving up these sugar-coated, propaganda posts on Islam is your effort to understand Islam?

1. According to the Qur'an, men and women have the same spiritual human nature:

The Koran contradicts itself here because apparently it also says there are a lot more women in hell.

SOME COMMENTS



Of the Millions of Muslims that live in this country, and the Millions of Muslims who live outside our country, I find it hard to believe that everyone of them are so intolerant of Christians. If this were true then it would indicate that the Bosian Conflict is but a small sample of what the World can expect to experience.


That frightens me.


As it indicates that the Crusades and the environment that resulted in the Dark Ages is about to go, once again, into full bloom. I am only hope that this is not the case.


We of all races and religions must really understand the forces at work here and do our best to shut down the influences that are attempting to destroy Civilization and Society as we have come to understand them.

...Bosian Conflict...

Huh?

As it indicates that the Crusades and the environment that resulted in the Dark Ages is about to go, once again, into full bloom. I am only hope that this is not the case.

The Crusades were a retaliation against the evil wrought by the followers of Allah.

We of all races and religions must really understand the forces at work here and do our best to shut down the influences that are attempting to destroy Civilization and Society as we have come to understand them.

LOL - what does this savage know of Civilization and Society?

Of the Millions of Muslims that live in this country...

Learn the language before you come to live here, monkey.

As it indicates that the Crusades and the environment that resulted in the Dark Ages is about to go...

Same here.

That's an awful lot of words to say a very few simple things.

In practicality, what you see is:
- women flogged for being rape victims. (Like rapists call and make an appointment for four *male* Muslim witnesses beforehand.)
- women kept prisoner in countries like Saudi Arabia because they aren't free to travel.
- women forcibly married off after their first menstruation to men old enough to be their grandfathers.
- women forced to become the multiple wives of the same.
- women forbidden to drive.
- women forced to wear head to foot coverings, including over their eyes so they can't see adequately, and beaten if they refuse.
- American women and girls *kidnapped* by Saudi spouses and/or fathers and held hostage in Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries.
- women murdered by their male family members in so-called "honor killings" if they have sex before marriage.
- women murdered by stoning for having sex outside of marriage.
- women locked up in windowless, lightless rooms with only a hole in the floor *until their death* as punishment for sex before marriage.
- young girls who have their external genitals sliced off so they'll be "fit for marriage."

These abuses and MORE are all *documented* practices in Muslim countries, especially in countries under "Islamic law." The Koran is *interpreted* by common practice and by Islamic religious figures within those countries to justify these practices.

Most Bosnians would be the *first* to be murdered under an Islamic "fundamentalist" regime. They wear secular clothes (many prefer "goth"); they run bars and drink; they have rock and roll bands, etc. and many are two or three *generations* away from ever being inside a mosque. All this is to their credit, by the way.

Their heads would be the first on the pike in a wahhabist revolution.

Muhammad's first wife was an older widow who set him up in business. This was before he started preaching Islam.

But his favorite wife years later was the beautiful Ayesha. She was nine years old.

What was the name of that Baptist preacher who called Muhammad a "demon-possesed child molester"?

Where does he get the "demon-possesed" part from? Was it because Muhammad said that the angel Jibreel (Gabriel) talked to him? C'mon! He went up the mountain and came back with a line of jive. It's not like the Arabs of the time weren't already murderous thugs.

On the other hand maybe the pastor is on to something. Click the link to learn about the Jinn (Genies).

More here.

I must admit I never did believe in the possibility of demonic possesion. Now I'm starting to wonder.

"Islam-The Religion Of Peace"

Any group of people who treat their women with such disrespect isn't worthy of the word 'culture'.

If I said more on the subjecct, I would likely forfeit my posting privileges. Any 'culture' which encourages the sexual mutilation of female children is one that we should rightly be trying to exterminate.
