Out of all religions Islam strikes me as the one which seeks special treatment most (Don't take that as a compliment christians). Islam makes ludicrous demands while at the same time taking offence to our unwillingness to bow down to those demands.
Muslims take every opportunity to take offence, And when they are granted special treatment - Like being allowed to opt-out of serving customers alcohol in Sainsbury's - They naturally Que up round the block waiting for their opportunity to "opt-out" of doing their job, You know, The thing they are paid to do.
Muslim teachers demand a right to wear a full body covering while trying to teach children and take offence when that right isn't granted, Completely ignoring the fact that 1) it isn't a requirement of their faith and 2) Will make them less able to teach.
40% of British Muslims want Sharia law in the UK. If you don't know, That is the law that says women can be stoned to death for pretty much anything.
The Mayor of London Ken (the fascist) Livingston commissioned a poll to find out how Islam is treated in the media and shockingly the poll found that 91% of the news regarding Muslims and Islam was negative. Of course if a report was done on news generally it would more than likely find that 91% of all news was about negative topics.
Every grievance of Islam is seen as a problem the west needs to find a solution to. maybe if Muslims are upset with the way we do things they should piss off and take Islam back to the primitive desert where it belongs, Sit in a cave and contemplate how bad it was over here for them while tribesmen stone their sister to death for the crime of being raped or hang their bother for being gay.
Muhammed Abdul Bari, head of the Muslim Council of Great Britain, Even went so far as to compare the treatment of Muslims in Britain to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany.
if you want to speak out about people giving Islam a bad name perhaps you could start on terrorists, People who stone women, People who hang gays, and people who do decapitations. Then people may take you seriously when you cry about having to serve alcohol in a shop, a shop which you sought employment in.
Even though certain Muslims take their religion to an extreme, a lot of what you posted here is incorrect.
ReplyDeleteSharia (Arabic: شريعة transliteration: Šarī‘ah) is the dynamic body of Islamic religious law. The term means "way" or "path to the water source"; it is the legal framework within which the public and some private aspects of life are regulated for those living in a legal system based on Muslim principles of jurisprudence and for Muslims living outside the domain.
Sharia deals with many aspects of day-to-day life, including politics, economics, banking, business, contracts, family, sexuality, hygiene, and social issues.
There is no strictly static codified set of laws of sharia. Sharia is more of a system of devising laws, based on the Qur'an (the religious text of Islam), hadith (sayings and doings of Muhammad), (sayings and doings of of the early followers of Muhammad), ijma (consensus), qiyas (analogy) and centuries of debate, interpretation and precedent.
Before the 19th century, legal theory was considered the domain of the traditional legal schools of thought. Most Sunni Muslims follow Hanafi, Hanbali, Maliki or Shafii, while most Shia Muslims follow Twelvers (Hallaq 1997, Brown 1996, Aslan 2006).
I got it from Wikipedia, but the word "stone" never appeared, killed only in relation to a Muslim blaspheming against Allah, and death in relation to adultery. I agree that this law is very harsh, but there was nothing there about a woman being stoned to death for being raped. Adultery counts for both men and women, and there has to be 4 witnesses.
I just wanted to correct you on your facts that you got wrong, not debate whether this is right or wrong.
That is the law that says women can be stoned to death for pretty much anything.
ReplyDeleteThis came up on another blog, and it was pointed out that a woman cannot be stoned to death, if she is a virgin.
However, that matter is easily dispensed with...
d, I don't think the Muslims we are hearing and reading about in the news are paying attention to Wiki.
Just like Christianity, they are a misogynistic group and use their holy words to their convenience.

ReplyDeleteBecause we have to have an enemy, and Muslims make a convenient enemy because they can be easily pointed out in a crowd.
Just like Christianity, they are a misogynistic group and use their holy words to their convenience.
First of all, I am not a misogynist. Just like to point that out. Secondly, in many Christian sects, women and men have equal rights. Thirdly, what "convenience" are you talking about? Catholics don't have much real political power, they don't have an army, I don't exactly see what "convenience" you are talking about.
"This came up on another blog, and it was pointed out that a woman cannot be stoned to death, if she is a virgin."
ReplyDeleteWhich is why they are often sent to be raped first.
<Thirdly, what "convenience" are you talking about?
ReplyDeleteI'm referring to the practice of cherry-picking the parts of the holy books that suit them and ignoring the parts that don't.
I'm glad you think you're not a misogynist, d, but after witnessing your discussion with nebulous on the other thread about the bible's treatment of women, I'm not sure you understand the concept.
In which sects do men and women have equal rights? Certainly not the RCC.
