Another question, what kind of father, or brother, or cousin can kill kin who has been raped, in the name of "honor killing"? For Christs (or Allahs) sake, what happened to protecting and loving your family? It's madness.

I think the entire title and premise of the thread might be a bit unclear to me. Who "supports" abuse but maybe a few whack jobs?

You hold any religion to the same light as society and you're gonna see alot of ugly truths. This thread is so pointless, so many countries have horrible womens rights regardless of religion.
As for making that a reason to invade another country by your logic next stop should be Nepal or any african nation. But no that won't happen, because there's no profit there for them.
Another 200 years? This is the 21'st freakin century! We'll be teleporting when these savages decide "hey, how about a reformation"!
We cant survive another 2 centuries. they need to be walled up inside of saudi (where it began). Women excluded, escapee's would be dealt with.
200 years from now, too much of the world (thanks to idiot bleeding hearts) will be islamified and reformation WILL NOT happen.
Islam is not a religion, its a politcal movement like communism.
You can see how communism in 100 years has crept forward.

I think the OP was aimed at muslim women who are happy muslims
in the west but to their surprise would not be in a muslim nation.
Thats my take on it anyway. What i would like to know if any
muslim women are allowed to use the computer is,
if a muslim woman dies as a martyre, what would she do with the
70 or so dark eyed virgins?

"On the issue of Christian pedophilia, I could provide so many links and sources that it would literally make you vomit, but, I will spare you of this, as you should spare us of your delusional and holier than thou rant of personal righteousness. Keep in mind that the Catholic Church has long been recognized for protecting these violators, and recently, the Obama administration actually provided amnesty for guilty priests around the globe. Why are their no records of such violations from the Muslim religion? Could it be because they actually respect and love their children?

PsychoX42, I'm not a Christian, but it's clear you despise them.
Apparently, you're not aware of the touching story of when Muhammad met his favorite wife. Muhammad was a man in his 50's when he spotted his favorite wife, Aisha.
She was six years old.
To Aisha's father's credit, he would NOT allow Muhammad to have her until she was nine years old.

Wow didn't realize I was speaking with a true supporter of the "fairness act". Media shouldn't be accurate, it should be fair. Have you ever said anything non PC ever? really, ever? How boring, to always side with the pc masses in order to belong. Ifyou ever do start thinking for yourself:
1. Stop listening to your peers.
2. Stop caring about ridicule.
3. Actually listen to all sources, before condemning them.
4. Don't trust anybody in power.
5. Think for yourself at all times.
I know, difficult to do. But you're already here. Good first step.
No, I'm not taking the PC's side, I'm saying supposed news Agencies (FOX news...) are not news Agencies, they don't report news, rather they distort news to create a distorted image in the minds of the viewers. How did the American population justify the Iraq war? The news helped them.
I don't know to what extent you have been brainwashed, so don't know if it is even possible to make you understand what I mean.

Felonius, you are so right! I'm NOT a Christian Fundie, but I could have cheered when I heard Pat Robertson say, "Islam is a violent totalitarian political system disguised as a religion."
I'm so sick of Liberals defending Islam as if it were a genuine religion. Islam will NEVER reform or evolve because it was NEVER spiritual to begin with. A "religion" created by a mass murderer & a pedaphile. Talk about a fraud perpetrated on humanity.
I'm glad someone here is aware.

Where did you get this info?
Quakers and Buddhists are violent? I don't think so.
The Christians that were executed in Afghanistan over this past weekend by the Taliban, they might have begged to differ with you about who is a tad more violent. But they can't, they were executed for carrying a Bible.

I am not in a mood to debate the existence of God, especially when it is impossible to prove or disprove.
However, your statement was that all religions are violent, and that simply is not true.
Quakers and Buddhists are pacifists, that is the opposite of violent.
I would just like to see the trails of violence that lead to those Quakers and Buddhists.
But Buddhism, like the other great faiths, has not always lived up to its principles - there are numerous examples of Buddhists engaging in violence and even war.
