Quotes: Magus, Simon


Sanctions: 5Sanctions: 5
I do agree Muslim Americans are just as law abiding and patriotic as most others bla bla bla.

But can we stop pretending there is absolutely NOTHING intrinsic to Islam that promotes fanatical zealotry, terrorism, and violence against women?

Can we stop pretending that what young Muslim boys are learning in Madrasahs of Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan is good old fahsioned "love thy neighbor" theology?

Can we stop ignoring the fact that the subjugation of women is a scripturally based tradition?

Can we ignore the fact that Islam has become a religion bankrupt of intellectualism?

Can we ignore the fact that any public figure who voices these concerns faces death threats?

Say what you want about Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and the rest of the whackjob religious right, but if you criticize them on TV, one does not typically need to worry about being shiskabobbed by a motorcycle riding zealot.
