I once attempted to understand Islam.... thestoryofmohammed.blogspot.com.au This provides interesting reading...
Islam, just like all the other religious sects were created by corrupt little people to scare the crap out of others to make themselves rich. Nothing to see here.
The USA along with their Australian puppets have been waging wars and killing Islamic Middle Eastern people for a long time, just to obtain and dominate their natural resources. As I see it, the only options these people have left, is uniting as many people as possible against the West through their Islamic faith, or terrorism.
Quick someone call ASIO, lol, just kidding but WTF? As they say, if you dont like it perhaps consider leaving, instead of engaging in conflict?? No wonder your politically 'left', the militancy seems to appeal to you. Destructive agenda's never usually work out the way they are peddled.
In France, there are over 700 "no-go" zones, where sharia law is practised by residential muslims and Police and others are advised not to enter these zones. In Germany recently, muslims wearing "Sharia Police" on the back of their jackets were telling people not to visit night clubs and prostitutes, not to drink alcohol, as this was condemned by Islam...they were engaged by German Police and told to move on. In Australia, we have the IS flag auctioned in Liverpool...why would anyone want to buy it, and rightly so, the Premier has banned it. People have to educate themselves as to what Islam means, what IS represents and what the entire world should do to confront terrorism...
You can learn all you need to know about the dangerous, barbaric religion/culture of Islam by reading INFIDEL by Ayaan Hirsi Ali or Not Without My Daughter by Betty Marmoody.
Bit late now, don't you think. Pauline Hanson WARNED everyone about this kind of danger back in the mid 90's, but everyone called her a crack pot, but her message seems to be ringing true.
If youre quoting Pauline Hanson, youre as mad as she is... Anyway...do you condone terrorism...you let that one thru to the keeper, didnt you....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_mutilation Generally performed on little girls 4, 5 or 6 years old using a razor blade, knife or scizzors or a specialy made sharp scraper. Usually no anesthetic is used. After the cutting the wound is tightly sewn up (still no anesthetic) in such a way so as to cause heavy scarring. The girls legs are bound together for three weeks afterward. The Islamists say it makes the girl 'pure'. Sex is not possible until the scar is cut open or as is normal, torn open by the husband on the wedding night. If parents did not cut the genitals out of their daugthers like this they would be harming the 'honour' of their whole extended family. This is just part of Islamic 'culture'.
That is the extreme version of Islam, and yes it must be condemed. However, like in Christianity, not all are evil..... Regards
No mate, it is main stream Islam as practiced in all Islamic countries. Why do you think (it was the Howard Government I think) laws were passed prohibiting the practice in Australia? They even went as far has making it illegal to take a child oversea to have it done which is what started happening when it became illegal in Australia. Islamic culture with its subjugation of women has no place in an enlightened modern world.
Was this ever practised in Australia? I can't recall a single incident. Anyway, those things should be banned, regardless which country or religion. But then, similar issue, take the boys circumcision, the Jews are so proud of. This practice is (IMHO) also outdated, as even the Jews have plenty of water to keep themselves clean. It is difficult to judge a religion by single events, and according to the guys who posted the last 2 replies, FGM has nothing to do with the Islam. However, I thought it was only applied in countries, where the Islam is the main religion. I might be wrong there, I don't know enough about it.... Regards
The tradition shows up where there is intermarriage with wives from east Africa.. and it matrilineal in nature.. Its not approved of in the Koran. In many ways its contradictory at its heart because Islam doesn't approve of scarification or tattoos. Probably like the Christian idea that the body is a temple.
http://answering-islam.org/Sharia/fem_circumcision.html "However what the Arabic actually says is: Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the clitoris(this is called HufaaD). {bold emphasis ours} The Arabic word bazr does not mean "prepuce of the clitoris", it means the clitoris itself (cf. the entry in the Arabic-English Dictionary). The deceptive translation by Nuh Hah Mim Keller, made for Western consumption, obscures the Shafi’i law, given by ‘Umdat al-Salik, that circumcision of girls by excision of the clitoris is mandatory. This particular form of female circumcision is widely practiced in Egypt, where the Shafi’i school of Sunni law is followed." From Reliance of the Traveller, 'The Classic Manual of Sacred Islamic Law' Revised edition, amana publications, Beltsville, 1997.
Gold Coast Council has rejected an application for a mosque at Currumbin...interesting to see how much further this goes.... 3,400 objections by local residents....
Well, that is part of religious freedom, isn't it? We will see more of this coming...... As Christians worship their God, so do the Muslims. As a multicultural society we have to step up another gear.... Do we want it? That majority of us would probately say no, ask AM or others. Cheerio
