You know what would be ironic, after all these years, catholics and prodestant comming together to fight alongside one another.
Now that would be interesting. Especially here in Scotland. Knowing the Sectarianism that occurs up here.
The following is the story of Safiyah Bint Huyeiy Ibn Akhtab, the Jewish woman who was captured when Muhammad’s troops attacked Kheibar and brought her to the Prophet as part of his share of the booty. Muhammad ordered Kinana, the young husband of Safia to be tortured to death to make him reveal the whereabouts of the treasure of the town. On the very nigh of that murder, he took Safia to his bed and claimed that young girl as his trophy. This story is reported by Tabari in detail. It can also be found in Sira of Ibn Ishaq. The following is reported in the Book of Tabaqat compiled by Ibn Sa'd and is published in the Islamic site.

Thats a little harsh. Lets face it. I deal with all people of all kinds on a daily basis.
There are some Muslims who treat women like dogs, have a really messed up set of laws and cause a lot of pain. And there are a good number that treat women as equals and the only thing they don't like in their lives are Drugs and Booze. You have two sides of the coin.
Just like you have some very nice Christians in the world, who believe in love and peace. Then you have the New American Christian movement who are extremist racist violent gun wielding thugs who want to take over thw world.
Theres good and bad in all.

It will never happen. However it does prove that the UK is a true democracy. They are allowed to ask that question.

I feel you are missing the point I am trying to make. My criticism is not with Muslims. It is not even with Islam as a religion. My criticism and concern for the world is Islam as a religious ideology. When a small faction of extremists use this as justification for committing violence against those who do not agree with their religious ideology. I even made a thread recently explaining my views on this issue. My opinion of most Muslims is like my opinion of most non-Muslims: hard-working people who want peace and security for their family and friends. Extremists are indeed a danger in all walks of life.
