I wonder how these brave women would fair if they 'stripped for peace'
in *any* Islamic nation, Iraq or North Korea? Are these women so naive
of world politics as to misunderstand the true nature of those who wish
us harm and their intent of world domination? Do these women have a
fucking proverbial clue as to the treatment of females by Muslims?

This isn't about folks wearing fur or even environmental issues that I
myself have concern over. It's about us as a species fighting tyranny
so that the civilized world remains intact.

Or perhaps I missing something as I have no recollection of any protests
of any flavor when Clinton carpetbombed Serbia, fired wanton missiles at
aspirin factories and the numerous air strikes upon Iraq during his
administration.

Anti-War Protesters, Brave The Elements And Bare All In Central Park

(New York-AP, February 7, 2003) — The snowstorm closed schools and
delayed airlines, but didn't deter 30 women who stripped for peace in
Central Park on Friday.

Braving 20 degree temperatures and heavy flurries, the anti-war
activists - ranging in age from 20 to 50 - gathered shortly after 7 a.m.
beneath a park overpass at 72nd Street, where they shed their coats,
scarves, hats - and everything else.

Squealing and jumping up and down to stay warm, they ran stark naked
into the park and lay head to toe over letters - "No Bush" - they had
etched in the 3-inch snow.

Two minutes later, the women regrouped under the overpass, got dressed,
hugged and shared thermoses of steaming hot coffee and tea.

Spontaneously, 12 of them sprinted out naked again, this time spelling
out the word "war."

"This was exhilarating," declared Heidi Cuppari, 29, owner of a
Manhattan pet supply company. "I was thinking about all the people who
are going to be in war in hellish situations and I thought I could take
a little snow."

The storm began early Friday and was expected to increase in intensity,
blanketing the metropolitan region with 4 to 6 inches of snow before
ending by mid-afternoon, said Jeffrey Tongue, a meteorologist with the
National Weather Service.

<snipped>

The Central Park peace demonstration was organized by Wendy Tremayne, an
unemployed Manhattan artist.
"I was going to start a campaign to get everyone to send stinky socks to
Bush to let him know that war stinks. But there's nothing like getting a
bunch of women on something," Tremayne said.

On her Web site, Tremayne still urges people to "just grab an envelope,
add postage and mail a stinky sock" to the White House.

There were no police. But a lone bird watcher spotted the naked group
through her binoculars from 60 feet away.
"It was definitely a nonviolent protest, with a taste of the 60s in it,"
said an amused Nancy Pindrus.

Keep in mind the old proverb that, "A hand in the bush is worth two on
the bird" . . . or something like that.

It's also a testament to the raw sex appeal of these nut-cases; they
get naked in Central Park - and no one notices. Were any of these
slutbags at Kent State back in the '60's?

I am curious to know what exactly the point was that they were trying
to make.


I am sure Clinton would have changed his opinion for 30 naked women,
but I don't see Bush doing that. What point were they trying to make
by stripping naked and laying down in snow besides the fact that they
are idiots?

***************************************************************************
God bless the Jews for helping Osama bin Laden!


The Bible states that any nation that supports Israel will be blessed.

Well,Jews are blessing America the Christians nation too.

Quotes from Reverend Billy Graham spiritual leader to George W. Bush
and former President Nixon tapes:

The released tapes have been edited and pruned. But Haldeman kept a
diary of the conversation. After Reverend Billy Graham left, Nixon
told his henchman: "You know it was good we got this point about the
Jews across . . .
the Jews are an irreligious, atheistic, ""immoral bunch of bastards.""
As Haldeman records, Graham had earlier observed that ""the Bible says
there are satanic Jews"" and there's where our problem arises". That
problem was "the total Jewish domination of the media . . . this was
something that would have to be dealt with."-Dawn/The Guardian News
Service.

Graham begins by advising Nixon on campaign strategy. The evangelist
has been invited to lunch at Time magazine. "You better take your
Jewish beanie" (yarmulke), Haldeman jokes. Nixon is in darker mood. He
broaches something that "we can't talk about publicly" - Jewish
influence in the media. All the big news organs are "totally dominated
by the Jews". Graham agrees, adding, piously, that it is the Jews "who
are putting out the """""pornographic stuff""""""".

This stranglehold has got to be broken or this country's going down
the """drain,"""'' Billy Graham said,


God bless the Jews for helping Osama bin Laden to destroy America!

do you golf? More golfers get hit by lightning than americans killed by
North Koreans over the last 40 years. Get a life... World domination? the
same goes for Iraq.... what were the casualties in the war in 91? Under 100
killed by opposition forces?

The USA is planning on killing 50% of the republican guard in the first week
of the attack coming. These men have families! This will result in
casualties in excess of 100,000. The USA discounts life because it is not
american life. shame on the USA.

Iraq has never attacked US soil. and only attacked US allies after it was
massively attacked itself.

Iraq has shows great restraint in not striking back on US targets, and it
would be VERY easy to do. We have 3 million illegal immigrants in
california! and let me tell you they did not go through customs when the
came across the border. Just as easy to smuggle drugs, bio agents, chemical
agents as well.

Wake up, you are being duped.

BTW... there is no plan to change the laws concerning nudity in IRAQ or any
other place the USA is invading.. so ranting against moslems as a reason to
invade Iraq is just a red herring.

That pack of stupid cunt stoked the primitive mohammedans hatred
and fanatical intolerance to new heights. Seeing that Americans
behave like that will do nothing but strengthen those savages'
belief that the modern world must be destroyed. The next wave
of cowardly terrorist acts will include moslem women walking
around New York with C-4 tampons looking for gatherings like that
to blow to hell in the name of that pervert mohammed.

A little thought would have told them that, but a little
is more thought than that group could muster.

Oh, good...let the White House mail clerk know that

The "taste" of the 60s, for sure. (Not the 1960s or the
1860s, the 0060s.)

One other thing is for sure. There were no babes in that mob.

Can you say brainwashed ?

Millions of women choose out of their own free will to be Muslims.
Who are you to tell them they can't make that choice ?

Look in America, Europe, Canada, and other non-Muslim countries and see
for your self. Women in these countries continue to follow Islam, and
there have been many converts to Islam within these countries.

Your brainwashed verison of Islam is not what Muslims follow. Learn about
Islam learn about it's true teachings instead of mere propoganada.

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) made it compulsory for all Muslim men and
all Muslim women to increase their knowledge.

You should follow this teaching of the Prophet (pbuh) and increase your
knowledge of Islam.

Bush is a warmonger. Clinton was not. Bush wants war, he is heavily

He is an angry little man with far too much power and far too few

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Hilarious! When do the daughters
of Muslims make that choice? Right after they remind them
that the primitive religion of islam imposes an automatic
death penalty for apostasy?

> Who are you to tell them they can't make that choice ?

No sweat, idiot, the "mullahs" (the slavemasters who shave
and sew up their cracks, imprison them in their homes, tell
them who they can marry and control every detail of their
lives) have already made it for them.

Similarly, many people in those countries have started using
hard drugs. So what? A certain proportion of a large enough
population will latch onto any dumb idea that comes along.

The unbearable irony of a Muslim using the term "brainwashed"?

>Millions of women choose out of their own free
>will to be Muslims.

No one believes you cretin. Hundreds of millions of women are subjected
to tyranny, execution, stoning, discrimination, slavery, torture and
rape in dozens of Islamic infested nations including Saudi Arabia,
Yemen, Oman, UAE, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Libya, Sudan, Nigeria, Somalia,
Algeria, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Afghanistan, et
al, ad nauseam. No Islamic nation allows women nor men as well freedom
of religion of any other freedoms for that matter. They live in a 7th
century death cult.

>Who are you to tell them they can't make that
>choice ?

The irony meter is smoking. Please do educate us concerning the Burka
and Hijab Mr. Virk. Inquiring infidels want to know.

>Look in America, Europe, Canada, and other
>non-Muslim countries and see for your self.

You mean the targeted rapes by Muslims of non Muslim women in Australia,
Denmark and elsewhere? The threats of death including 'fatwas' against
those that try to leave Islam? Did you forget to mention the systematic
genocide and forced conversions of non Muslims in the rest of the world?
And what of the increasing violence by Muslims in Europe and elsewhere
who demand fascist Islamic dogma rather than assimilate in the host
nation?

>Women in these countries continue to follow
>Islam, and there have been many converts to
>Islam within these countries.

Is it a Muslim's duty to flat out lie and fabricate statistics?

>Your brainwashed version of Islam is not what

The irony meter is broken.

That Muhammad enslaved and raped a 9 year old little girl? That Islam
is spread by the sword and one must either convert or murder the
'infidel'? There is not ***one*** Muslim dominated nation on the planet
that is not a tyrannical theocracy and where the few non Muslims that
remain enjoy even basic Human rights. Even Turkey which is currently
the least offensive voted in Islamic parties and only remains so because
of a military dictatorship by proxy.

Knowledge of what? Nothing of value comes from Muslim culture as it is
anti free market, anti technology and anti intellectual among others.

>You should follow this teaching of the Prophet

I follow the teachings of Mother Nature. Her most important gift is
free will. Islam and free will are dipolor concepts.

You deny the events in Serbia, Somalia, Iraq and elsewhere during the

I agree. Saddam should be let loose to conquer the mideast,

Why are you at a University in Canada rather than at one in a Muslim
nation? And why isn't there non Muslims immigration into a Muslim
nations? If civilized western culture is abhorrent to Muslims, then why
do they subject themselves to such torment? Or perhaps ;-)

Muslim are far more open-minded then those fanatical war mongers

Use logic and present a good argument if you have one. Like Muslims

They don't ? Or do you mean you don't believe me ?

And yet when they leave they continue to follow Islam ? Why ?
Ever wonder why ? Maybe because your anti-Islam hatemongering beliefs are

and speak as if you know everything ?

Sorry but there is a huge Muslim population in virtually every country of

Hijab is something women choose to wear and Islam is not the only religion

What's not to believe. They are going to be allowed to drive now
in some Muslim countries. Yahoo! What an advancement for
Women Rights. All one has to do is see how women are treated
in muslim countries. I bet you enjoy that aspect of your religion
and you are intimidated by educated and emancipated women.

Most of them do choose, but not all of them. I agree that there are some
Islamic communities that aren't as strict, but only because their women
would rebel if they tried to enforce Sharia.

Wrong. Even the Catholic Church has told its nuns that they don't have to

Great Ignornant one, you speak so much yet know so little. Islam has no

who works in New York City. My wife who recently moved to Canada worked

Ignorant. Another ignoramous, surprise, surprise.
Your no challenge. I can crush your arguments with very little
effort. Use some logic, use some reasoning, present a good argument
against Islam if you can. These weak arguments you put foward
can be defeated by childern.

Now to crush your weak claim that Islam teaches Muslims to kill apostates:

"Those who believe, then disbelieve, then again believe, then disbelieve,
and then increase in disbelief, Allah (God) will never forgive them nor
will He guide them to the way." (Quran 4:138)

In this verse we are told of those people who give up belief, then again
beleive. But if the Islamic Law was death for giving up belief, how do
these people "beleive gain, then disbelieve, and then increase in
disbelief" ?
We find no verse after or before this one, which states that apostates
should be killed.

Not only this but we also read in the Holy Quran:

"There should be no compulsion in religion. Surely, right has become
distinct from wrong; so whosoever refuses to be led by those who
transgress, and believes in Allah, has surely grasped a strong handle
which knows no breaking. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing."
(Quran 2:257)

Now if the Islamic Law was to kill anybody who gives up Islam, then we
would find a major contradiction in the verse above, which states that
there should be no compulsion in religion. If threat of the death
sentence is not compelling somebody, please explain what is. ??

There is no compulsion for you to believe. It's your choice, but
you are in no position to make an educated decision. Learn something
first. Use your brain, use some logic, be rational, open your mind
and think freely like Muslims.

Yes - but the SA constitiution clearly states its laws are based on the
Quran. Its an Islamic culture that puts these restrictions on its women,
not western. It should be noted that SA is one of the only countries in the
region that still have this kind of barbaric thing.

This is simply not true in several muslim countries. Either legally or

Please pick up the pace.

Lets look at your quote about compulsion. Why did you not include the
preceeding and succeeding passages?
**********
Allah! There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No
slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on
earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth?
He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind
them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth.
His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no
fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme
(in glory).
Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error:
whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy
hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things
Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness
He will lead them forth into light. Of those who reject faith the patrons
are the evil ones: from light they will lead them forth into the depths of
darkness. They will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein (For ever).
*********

I see the use of the word 'compulsion' here as stengthening the argument
that Islam is the only religion. I DO NOT see it as some kind of argument
for Islamic egalitarianism.

Also - what about the time Allah revealed this revelation? It was in his
first two years of arriving at Medina. This was a time when Mohammed needed
to convince the people of Medina that the religion he was creating was the
correct one.

Any - please continue to enlighten us on the wonders of Islam.

Saudi Arabia can claim the moon is made of cheese that doesn't make it

I see your problem. You think a countries laws are equal to Islamic laws.
No it's more then that. You take every 'bad' law and take it to be
'Islamic law'.

One might ask why don't you take the fact that in Pakistan women do drive
as an example of Islamic teachings ? Why do you choose to select Saudi
Arabian law to represent Islamic law ?

I think the answer is your hatred of Islam. You decided to let Saudi
Arabia represent Islamic Law when they ban women from driving, and you
decided not to select other 'Muslim' countries. You will find the worst
laws in each country and attribute those to Islam. That is not being
just.

The fact is no countries laws represent the religion of Islam. Islam must
be judged for it's own teachings not the laws of Saudi Arabia or any other
country.

:> If anybody forces it on them, they themselves are going against

The verses clearly say there should be NO COMPULSION in religion. Simple
as that. Of course if you choose to follow Islam then there are rewards
(according to Islam). If you choose to disbelieve then there are
consequences. That is the religion. The choice is every individuals to
make. Like it or not.

I know you don't believe it but that is not the point. The point is
compulsion or no compulsion, and the Quran is clear on it. Even your own
quote provides the proof.

Let me also state I appreciate you making an effort to have an
intellectual discussion not like the rest of the hatemongering,
irrational posts.

: Also - what about the time Allah revealed this revelation? It was in his


: first two years of arriving at Medina. This was a time when Mohammed needed
: to convince the people of Medina that the religion he was creating was the

I'm not trying to convert you. You don't believe it, "for you your
religion and for me mine" (another Quote from the Quran).

The point is there is NO compulsion in Islam. It's all based on free will
and making free choices in your life. You don't believe it, that is your
choice. I do believe it that is my choice. No compulsion in religion is
the direct teachings found in the Quran.

: Any - please continue to enlighten us on the wonders of Islam.

Okay:

We read in the Holy Quran:

"And they say, 'None shall ever enter Heaven unless he be a Jew or a
Christian.' These are their vain desires. Say, 'Produce your proof, if
you are truthful.'
Nay, whoever submits himself completely to God, and is the doer of good,
shall have his reward with his Lord. No fear shall come upon such,
neither shall they grieve."
[Quran 2:112-113]

We also read in the Holy Quran:

"Surely, those who have believed, and the Jews, and the Sabians, and the
Christians - whoso believes in God and the Last Day and does good deeds,
on them shall come no fear, nor shall they grieve."
[Quran 2:70]


You see how open Islam is. Even Jews and Christians will go to heaven if
they believe in God, the Last day and do good works.

That is what the true Islam teaches.

actions of islamic people say it all and I would venture to bet that if
there was a unbiased version of mo and his gutter cult presented before the
American public then Bush's support would rise to the 80 to90 percent

Doesn't cut what? SA bases its laws on the teachings of Islam. Attempting
to suggest it doesn't is ignorant. SA has laws banning female travel in a
variety of foms ( I know - I've been there ).

This is only one example of discrimination according to gender 'fundamental'
Islamic countries put in place.

Understand? Islam is inherently discriminatory. If a country is fighting
discrimination and imposing laws that allow equal justice for all regardless
of gender - then they are not being 'Islamic'.

I'm sorry for you, but there really is no way to get around this. Its one
of the primary reasons westerners consider Islam to be a meaningless
religion stuck in the 16th century.

> I see your problem. You think a countries laws are equal to Islamic laws.

Because SA is useful to my argument. Oman, Malaysia, Morrocco - indeed most
other Islamic countries - are not. Most other Islamic countries are tying
to modernize their culture and their religion. The fact that its taken them
this long to see it as a priority now speaks volumes to Islam's affect on a
culture.

I don't need to be 'just'. I need to be honest. So do you. You are not
honest when you say no women needs to wear hijab, and you are being
dishonest when you say Islam doesn't create laws for driving. I know the
quran does not specifically mention wether a woman can drive a car or not -
but the foundation of the law is found in the discriminatory interpretation
of Islam SA uses.

Deal with it.

No - I am afraid it is not as simple as that. It is infact much more
complicated. The word compulsion here means there is no compulsion once you
become a muslim. It means there is no compulsion to leave Islam - indeed
the remainder of the passage indicates this.

BTW - many religions try to remove compulsive acts by making desire -
greed - avarice - covetous - behaviour a sin.

Why are there consequences if there is not compulsion (if one uses your
understanding of compulsion in the verse)? I would think the existence of
'consequences' creates the 'compulsion'. ( convert - or you burn in hell -
that's also in this compulsion verse.)

LOL! Clearly my own quote proves nothing. Neither does your significantly
more limited quote. The quran is clear on nothing - this is why there are
so many divisions within Islam dating back to the first hours after the
prophets death.

You really need to bone up on your islamic history.

Move from theory to implementation. What are the standard characteristics
of an 'Islamic regime'? It is discrimination based on gender, theocracies,
barbaric and primitive punishments for non existent crimes.

You keep moving from one area to another. Islam as a spirituality is one
topic. Islam and how it affects the laws and cultures of countries is
another.

Even Jews and Christians will go to heaven if

Funny how the more true to Islam a country becomes - the farther away it
gets from humanity. ( Iran - SA - Afghanistan - Northern Nigeria - Somalia )

You obviously failed to comprehend the simple points, so I will explain it
to you in a more simple manner. Review:

I say:
Saudi Arabian Laws do not equal Islamic Laws.

You say:
Saudi Arabian Laws do equal Islamic Laws.

Agreed ?

My question is why do you select Saudi Arabia why not Oman ?

Your answer (as I understand it):

Beacuse you don't have to be just. You have to be honest.

Your answer makes not sense to me. You will have to be more clear.

Oman Laws state women can drive.
Saudi Arabia Laws state women can't drive.
(Islam does not have a law regarding driving)

Both Oman and Saudi Arabia are predominately Muslim countries.
Yet they have contradictory Laws regarding driving.

Islam can't teach both women can drive and women can't drive.

So you ignore Oman and say the Islamic law is women can't drive.

Which is the height of illogic.

Logic would say Islam has not given a law regarding driving.
Islamic laws come from the Quran. Not from Saudi Arabia.

Do you now see your problem ?

If not, would you consider it right to state Christian laws as American,
or German or any other predominately Christian country ?

Salvery was common in the US does that mean Christianity taught Whites to
enslave Blacks ?

How about Hitler. He claimed to be Christian and Nazi Germany was built
on his version of Christianity. Would you say that Christainity teaches
people kill Jews ?

Why then do you take Saudi Arabian law to represent Islamic law ?

Be honest and be just. Do both and you will come to the correct
conclusion.

: Doesn't cut what? SA bases its laws on the teachings of Islam.

So they claim. Yet women can't drive in Saudi Arabia. Which Islamic law
is that based on ?

: Attempting to suggest it doesn't is ignorant.

It is ? Why is it ignorant when you know full well that Islam has no law
regarding driving (Islam is over 1500 years old, cars were invented less
then 200 years ago).

Saudi Arabian law obviously doesn't equal Islamic Law. This is a fact,
and the driving is one of many proofs of this.

: SA has laws banning female travel in a


: variety of foms ( I know - I've been there ).

I also know this. It is not the point of dispute. The point of dispute
is whether or not Islam teaches that women shouldn't drive. Your case so
far has been weak to non-existant.

: This is only one example of discrimination according to gender 'fundamental'


: Islamic countries put in place.

No it isn't. If you want to show that Islam teaches women not to drive
cars then show it from the Quran (Islamic Holy Book).

Islamic Law does not equal Saudi Arabian Law. You have yet to show why it
does.


: Understand? Islam is inherently discriminatory.

You have failed to demonstrate why.

: If a country is fighting


: discrimination and imposing laws that allow equal justice for all regardless
: of gender - then they are not being 'Islamic'.

The laws of country are not the same as the laws of a religion. In Canada
I follow all of the laws of the country, yet freely practice my religion.
The two can go hand and hand.

:> No it's more then that. You take every 'bad' law and take it to be

: ?? - You said no Muslim women 'has' to wear hijab. You are wrong.

According to Islamic law there is no compulsion in religion. It is the
choice of the woman. If I force a woman to wear hijab that reflects on
me, not on Islam. If Saudi's force women to wear hijab that reflects on
them, not on Islam. Islamic teachings are in the Quran.

: I don't need to be 'just'. I need to be honest. So do you. You are not


: honest when you say no women needs to wear hijab, and you are being
: dishonest when you say Islam doesn't create laws for driving.

I am ?
Prove it.
Here is my argument:

According to Islam there should be no compulsion in religion.
Therefore women should not be compelled to wear Hijab. However many women
choose to wear Hijab because it is prescribed in Islam.

Give your counter argument.

My second argument:

Islam was revealed over 1000 years before cars were invented. Islam has
no teachings regarding driving cars.

Your counter argument:

: I know the


: quran does not specifically mention wether a woman can drive a car or not -
: but the foundation of the law is found in the discriminatory interpretation
: of Islam SA uses.

What interpretation ? According to Saudi leaders the law regarding
driving is NOT rooted in Islam. They accept this. It is a decision made
by the people of Saudi Arabia and does not in any way reflect upon Islam.

They also have a law which states one driver per house hold. Does that
also automatically become an Islamic law ?
What if they change the laws tomorrow ? Does that mean Islamic laws also
changed around the world ?

Your illogical. You have to see your wrong.


:> The verses clearly say there should be NO COMPULSION in religion. Simple
:> as that.

: No - I am afraid it is not as simple as that. It is infact much more
: complicated. The word compulsion here means there is no compulsion once you

It does ? How did you come to that conclusion ?

The verse states:

"There should be no compulsion in religion. Surely, right has become
distinct from wrong; so whosoever refuses to be led by those who
transgress, and believes in Allah, has surely grasped a strong handle
which knows no breaking. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing."
(Quran 2:257)

In fact what it is saying is don't force people to follow Islam.
Right (Islam) is clear for all to see and those who accept it have grasped
a strong handle.


: It means there is no compulsion to leave Islam - indeed


: the remainder of the passage indicates this.

What ? Where do you come to that conclusion. Spell it out for me because
I am not following you at all.

: Why are there consequences if there is not compulsion (if one uses your


: understanding of compulsion in the verse)?

It's like school. There is no compulsion to get a good education, but if
you don't there will be consequences.
There is no compulsion to get a drivers liscence but if you don't there
will be consequences (you won't be allowed to drive).
etc.. etc...
What's your problem with that ?

: I would think the existence of


: 'consequences' creates the 'compulsion'. ( convert - or you burn in hell -
: that's also in this compulsion verse.)

If you don't believe in Islam, then why would you believe your going to
'burn in hell' for rejecting it ? That isn't very compelling is it ?

: No - it is not - and much of the teachings of the quran admonishes those
: that do not believe.

So ? What's wrong with that ? I don't believe Jesus is the Son of God
and Christians might say I will go to hell for that. I don't have a
problem with that.

I simply don't believe it, and if it is true I will suffer the
consequences.

What is your problem with that ?

That's reality. There are always consequences to decisions we make, good
and bad consequences. That's everyday life, like it or not.

If you can't face that reality then I don't know how to help you.

Maybe if more muslims would voice their outrage towards this PUBLICLY then
that would not be such a problem.... hmmmm? get it? The only group that

I started a response to the individual questions you ask but half way
through had to give up. You clearly lack rudimentary comprehension skills.
You keep asking where in Islamic law it says women can't drive - although I
went to great pains to tell you I know its not found directly in Islam - but
Islamic countries are the only ( major )ones where they are found.

Here is a copy of the SA constitution.
http://www.oefre.unibe.ch/law/icl/sa00000_.html
Article 1
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a sovereign Arab Islamic state with Islam as
its religion; God's Book and the Sunnah of His Prophet, God's prayers and
peace be upon him, are its constitution, Arabic is its language and Riyadh
is its capital.

I don't know how I can make it any clearer. SA is an Islamic country - SA
has laws stating women can't drive. SA says its laws are

Note: I did not say Islam says women can't drive - but SA does and SA bases
its laws on 'God's book and Sunnah of his prophet'.

Is that clear enough for you now? WE ALL KNOW ISLAM DOES NOT HAVE A LAW FOR
RESTRICTIONS ON DRIVING OR COMPUTER HACKING OR INSIDER TRADING OR ANY OTHER
MODERN DAY THING!!

> : It means there is no compulsion to leave Islam - indeed
> : the remainder of the passage indicates this.
>

That is painfully clear. Its not complex. Reread what I wrote and try to
read the passages I quoted with a desire to comprehend.

> : Why are there consequences if there is not compulsion (if one uses your

>

Bullshit - nowhere does the quran state I will burn in hell if I don't go to
school. However this verse does state I will burn in hell if I don't
believe.

It is clearly not like school.

> : I would think the existence of

?? - with this passage you have confirmed your idiocy. I don't even believe
in hell and nothing I have written indicates I do. The point was about
compulsion but clearly you either missed it or are deliberately putting
words in my mouth to avoid the fact that you are defeated in this debate.

Conclusion - the quote you offer regarding compulsion and islam in fact
states the opposite of what you think it states.

> : No - it is not - and much of the teachings of the quran admonishes those

>
> So ? What's wrong with that ? I don't believe Jesus is the Son of God

Again - that's not the point. The point is - much of the quranic teaching
proves there is significant compulsion in Islam.

> If you can't face that reality then I don't know how to help you.

If I ever think I needed help from a muslim who has less knowledge of their
religion than I do I'll let ya know.

I already understand your problem.
Your saying the Saudi Arabian Law = Islamic Law.

That is what you are saying right ? Please correct me if I am mistaken.

If you believe Saudi Law = Islamic Law you are then contradicting yourelf.

Saudi Arabia has a law banning women from driving. You state above:
"WE ALL KNOW ISLAM DOES NOT HAVE A LAW FOR RESTRICTIONS ON DRIVING.."

So the obivious question is how do you resolve this contradiction ?

If you believe:

1) Saudi Law = Islamic Law
2) Saudi Law bans women driving.
3) Islam does not have a law for driving.

You can't believe all 3.

Good question. What is Islamic Law ?
Saudi Arabia claims to follow Islamic Law but so do other countries
which have laws different then Saudi Arabia ?

Is there hundreds of different versions of 'Islamic Law' ?
Is Islamic law anything people say it is ?

Answer:

Islamic law is found in the Holy Quran. All Muslims believe
the Holy Quran is the word of God there is no dispute about this.
If the Quran says it then it is Islamic.

An analogy for Christian would be the Bible. If the Bible teaches
it then it is Christian law.

I know this is a short and simplified answer but that is all you really
need to know. There is also Sunna and Hadiths but we don't need to get
into that.

Islam is not the problem. Fanatics are.

Christian fanatics and predominately Christian countries have carried out

the people. Same applies for Islam, Hinduism, Buddishm or any other
RELIGION.

Islam literally means Peace and Submission.
Islam promotes peace, as hard you might find that to believe.

If you feel that no nation should base its laws on the Qu'ran or
Shariah then perhaps your time would be better spent lobbying those
Islamic nations that DO base their laws on Shariah, rather than
sticking your head in the sand here.

It's simply against the law in SA for a woman to go in public without
being dressed according to Shariah law, this includes the Hijab ...
It is also against the law for a woman to go in public without a Mahram
(husband or male blood relative), also Shariah law... by extension of
this it is illegal for a woman to leave the country without the
permission of her father or husband.

They are if the laws are based on Shariah .. this is the whole point of

It is if those nations declare their laws to be "Islamic law",
especially if the Umams, Mullahs and Ayatollahs of those nations
declare them to be Shariah.

Hey, Muslim women can *choose* not to wear hijab, as long as they
don't mind either staying in their home all the time, or, you know,
being stoned to death. That's because they have been given Islamic
Choice! It's for their own protection, really, same as always
traveling with a male relative. If the typical towel-head were to see
an unaccompanied something that was identifiable as a woman, she's
just asking to get raped, and she would have no one to blame but
herself.

You have to think these things through, and look at it from the Muslim
Perspective.

O.K. why is it Islamic countrys are the ones with the most problems on their
borders and internal problems...?

Why is it that most "peaceful" muslims dont speak out against the extremists
and extremist governments?

Do you think if the amount of Christians act TODAY the way Islamic radicals
act then dont you think everyone else would have a field day with this? But
it seems their are more apologists for radical islamic actions....

I would think that it all comes down to the lives of two men.....Jesus and
Mohammed.....if I was to model my life after one of the two ( and believe me
I cant even come close to him) I would choose Jesus anyday.... I think it
would be way easy to follow Mohammed footsteps....by the stories I have read
.......rape pillage conquer.....that would be easy..... Jesus life was about
Peace and Submission...... I think thats what it boils down to.....

If "Allah" (Myth) will never forgive people who dump the primitive
beliefs the "mullahs" pound into them, the "mullahs" will be
no more forgiving. They'll tie them up in a sack and stone
them to death or throw them over a cliff.

So you'll have to go through all those stages before the
"mullahs" (slavemasters) are free to kill you.

We don't look too carefully, do we? I bet one of your

"Allah (Myth) will never forgive them" is the death sentence.

Cool! That means that women from civilized countries can go to

"Allah (Myth) will never forgive them." That sort of thing
scares the shit out of superstitious fools. Since "Allah"
condones killing babies and other innocents for absolutely
no reason, the primitive fool who has been beaten from
infancy into total belief in that "Quran" garbage will most
certainly be afraid to cross the savages who enforce it.

What I said completely explains why a few manipulable women

It's just "statistics." As you yourself demonstrate, the
left side of the normal curve of any attribute will always
be populated. Anyway, there are far more "converts" to
faux-Islam (Farrakhan's hate group) than to your stupid
primitive religion.

Are you married to a nine-year-old? You would be, of course,

assuming you could afford the price her parents demand. I
wouldn't exactly hate you for screwing little kids like your

attempt to shriek about a personal attack is the behavior of
a retarded little kid. (At least you're consistent.)

You can say it till your blue in the face, SA disagrees with you ..
every Islamic cleric in SA disagrees with you.
Rather than stick your head in the sand why don't you use your position
as a good Muslim to lobby SA and other nations who practise Shariah law

I don't know why he chose to focus on SA, perhaps because SA is the

The fact you are focusing on a technicality such as driving exposes you
as being disingenuous... his point, I believe, is to show Shariah law
(practised in many Muslim nations) as being inherently sexist and
*designed* to keep the woman in servitude to the man.
The laws against driving cars are simply extensions of Sharia laws.
When you base your laws on Shariah, with its severe limitations on
travel, work, marriage, even speaking to men, it becomes very easy to
continue this oppression to modern activities such as driving.

Rather than confront this, agree, and join him in lobbying Islamic
nations that practise this barbarism you instead attempt to make
apologies for it, cover it up and claim it is not Islamic when it
clearly is.

I hope you enjoy the seperation of state and religion.. millions of

This is in regard to which religion a person chooses to follow...
People are allowed to be Christian in an Islamic country .. just not
allowed to practise their religion openly, I think they also have to
pay a special tax.

> Therefore women should not be compelled to wear Hijab.

They are in Saudi Arabia, under Sharia law.. women ARE commanded to
wear the Hijab.

personally I think the Hajib is a tangent to the wider debate of
women's rights under Islamic law.

Some time ago a fellow posted a long article concerning human rights
under Islam .. a good chunk of it related to women's rights .. here's a
rather lengthy excerpt from that post-

<89486bdd.03011...@posting.google.com>
---- begin quote ---

4. Rights of Women
Have women really got rights in Islam? To explain this point, I ought
to add that Adam, the progenitor of mankind, according to Genesis, the
First Book of Moses, defied God to please his woman called "Eve." The
significance of this event demonstrates the natural grip of woman on
man.

To fathom the significance of this act, one must realise that God had
kept Adam in the Garden of Eden, abounding in lush trees laden with
luscious fruits; its ground was emerald green, studded with heavenly
streams of milk, honey and wine; its valleys echoed with melodies of
the chirping birds that created a musical environment; the more
hilarious aspect of the Garden of Eden was that there was no toil,
pain, disease or death, and all provisions were abundant and free. Yet
Adam flouted the Divine Command to win favour of his woman and
preferred pain to pleasure, mortality to immortality and drudgery to
free living.

The act of rewarding man with such a delightful opulence made God
believe that Adam would not choose anything but Him. It is baffling to
note that Adam preferred Eve, his woman, to God and all the fantastic
luxuries. In this game of selection, God lost to woman because of her
sex-appeal to man.

Realising the significance of faminine charm, the Prophet Muhammad
treated woman as the final goal of existence; in this life woman is to
serve as the source of gratification for man, and salvation i.e.
achieving entry into paradise in the next world, means sexual
enjoyment of houris - the most beautiful virgins that await lucky men
to offer them their carnal delights.

This Islamic plan, which is executed through a legal code, also serves
as the bait for attracting followers. However, there is a big paradox
to be resolved if this scheme is to operate successfully: woman has
got to be reduced to the status of a slave for neutralising all her
resistance to man's will. For this purpose, women must be stripped of
all their human rights, because a woman with rights, is bound to claim
equality. But, unless this process is conducted skillfully, women are
bound to rebel against Islam, and may thus cause its downfall. This is
the reason that Islam accords some spurious rights to women to fool,
snool and rule them.

Islam appears gentle, generous and genuine in this field, but its
veneer soon crumbles when we judge the Islamic law in the light of
practical life. Historically, there is no doubt that Islam is the
first religion that appears to have given women the following rights:

1. The right to inherit property, and
2. The right to divorce man.

But in effect, these rights are spurious because they cannot be
exercised by women for the following reasons:

1 a. Allah has subjected women to the law of purdah, that is, they
must not participate in social life.

"And so to the believing women, that they
cast down their eyes and guard their private
parts, and reveal not their adornment
save such as is outward; and let them cast
their veils over their bosoms, and not reveal .."
(Light XXIV: 30)

Again, the Koran says:

"O Prophet, say to the wives and daughters
and the believing women, that they draw
their veils close to them .."
(The Confederates XXXIII: 55)

In addition to veiling, Allah confines women's activities within the
four-walls of their homes:

"Remain in your houses; and display not
your finery, as did the pagans of old."
(The Confederates XXXIII: 25)

With a view to depriving women of their rights, the Koran lays it
down:

"Men are the managers of the affairs of women
for that God has preferred in bounty
One of them over another .....
Righteous women are therefore obedient .....
And those you fear may be rebellious
admonish; banish them to their coaches
and beat them." (Women IV: 35)

Since a woman is obliged to wear a veil and restricted within her
home, and man is appointed her manager with the authority to beat her
if she does not obey him, her property rights are just an attractive
gimmick: they are a body without a soul, a locomotive engine without
steam and a bow without arrows.

2a. A woman's right to divorce is called "Khula." A man can undo his
matrimonial tie quite independently and at will, whereas the wife has
to achieve this goal through the process of law, which is very
cumbersome to say the least. Also, she is subject to the wrath of God
and curses of angels if she takes this step without complete
justification. Again, in a male chauvinistic society, it is likely
that her pleas will have no effect on the ears of a male judge, who is
used to deriding, depressing and dominating women.

According to Ibn-e-Majah, vol. 1, page 571: A wife must not seek
divorce from her husband without a serious cause. If she does, she
will not enter paradise. If she can prove her case, she will be
awarded decree only if she returns all that her husband had bestowed
on her as an entitlement or outright gift. A woman who seeks Khula,
cannot expect settlement!

The laws of inheritance treat one male equal to two females (Women IV
10). The law of evidence is even harsher: not only two women equal one
man but she may not be allowed to tender evidence where male witnesses
are available.

In view of the following limitations that Islam has imposed on woman,
one can honestly conclude that it has been done deliberately to
deprive her of human rights for converting her into a sexual toy so
that men should flock to Islam:

1. Woman has a religious duty to produce the maximum number of
children, Ibn-e-Majah reports in Vol. 1, page 518 and 523 in his
"SUNUN:" The Prophet said "Getting married is my basic doctrine. Whoso
does not follow my example, is not my follower. Marry, so that I can
claim preference over other communities (Jews and Christians) owing to
commanding a greater number of followers . "

"MISHKAT" reports in Vol. 3 page 119, a similar hadith:

"On the Day of Judgement, I shall have the greater number of followers
than any other prophet ..."

Having the largest following was obviously the greatest passion of the
Prophet Muhammad, and could be realised only by subjecting woman to
the exclusive burden of motherhood. A woman who is the mother of a
dozen children, obviously does not have time to think about her human
rights. Her mind is likely to be tortured by the fear of what happens
if she is deserted by her husband. This is powerful enough to keep her
under his thumb.

2. The second condition that governs woman's status in Islam is stated
by the Koran in "Iron: 25:"

"And monasticism they invented - We
did not prescribe it for them - only
seeking the good pleasure of God; but
they observed it not as it should be observed."

Simply stated, these verses mean that the Christians flouted God's
will by practising monasticism because enjoyment of women by man is
"the good pleasure of God. "

Thus woman is nothing but the source of pleasure to man. However, it
implies that, in return for being the provider of delight, she is
entitled to love and reverence as her fundamental rights. In fact,
every woman is conscious of it and wants to be treated respectfully,
but Islam in line with the Semitic philosophy, which states that man
must have sexual pleasure by command, opposes this attitude. In
marriage, there is no Islamic concept of consent in carnality: Woman
in Islam is man's tillage and he is empowered to use her as he wishes.
This is the reason that Islamic law aims at man's ascendancy,
inflicting a corresponding humiliation on woman. The reader can judge
this truth from the following:

"Women have such honourable rights as obligations
but their men have a degree above them."
(The Cow: 225)

This is a highly debated verse, and Islamic zealots are always
stretching it to prove equality of sexes. Therefore, I may quote from
the hadith to demonstrate its truth:

"If women comply with your commands, do not
molest them ..Iisten carefully, they have a right
over you that you take care of their food and
wear."
(Ibn-e-Majh, Vol. 1, p. 519)

Woman's rights are limited to her maintenance provided she obeys her
man. Instead of indulging in further discussion of this point, I may
state the usually held Islamic belief that man is superior to woman.
In fact, the Koranic law supports this idea to the hilt. Here is the
explanation:

1. " ..marry such women
as seem good to you, two, three, four."
( Women: 1)

Here man is given the lawful prerogative to have four wives of his own
choice at the same time. The Muslim scholars have been putting various
interpretations on this verse to avoid the shame of polygamy. For
example, they say, woman is not allowed polyandry (having more than
one husband at the same time) because it becomes impossible to know
the father of the child. This argument does not hold good when we are
talking about the basic rights of man and woman, which constitute the
principle of equality.

Again, this point of view is nullified by the scientific advances:
firstly, invention of the Pill has given woman control over her body,
and she does not have to have children unless she wants them.
Secondly, clinical tests today, can establish the fatherhood of a
child with certainty. Therefore, this type of argument proves nothing
but futility, frivolity and fictitiousness of the Islamic law, which
seeks to impose male dominance on woman in the name of fairness,
felicity and fruitfulness.

Add to the above, the Islamic law of concubinage which allows a man as
many unmarried women in his harem as he can afford. For example, Akbar
the Great of India had 5,000 concubines and his son, Jehangir, had no
fewer than 6,000! There is only one description for them - private
brothels. Yet the Muslim scholars talk of morality and women's rights.

3. We are told, as men have rights over women so women have rights
over men. This is quoted as the proof of equality. In fact, this is
highly misleading because relationship of their mutual rights makes
man the master and woman the slave.

The only mentionable right that woman has over man is the right to be
fed and clothed. I have already quoted a hadith to this effect. Now
look at the other side of the coin:

"If I were to order someone to prostrate before other
than God, I would have commanded woman to
prostrate before her husband.

If a husband tells his wife to keep carrying a load of
stones from that red mountain to that black mountain,
she must obey him whole heartedly."
(Ibn-e-Majah, Vol. 1, ch. 592, p 520)

4. "By God, who controls the life of Muhammad, a woman cannot
discharge her duty towards God until she has discharged her duty
towards her husband: if she is riding a camel and her husband
expresses his desire, she must not refuse."
(Ibn-e-Maja, Vol. 1, ch. 592, p 520)

Again, if a man is in a mood to have sexual intercourse, the wife must
come immediately even if she is baking bread at a communal oven.
(Tirmzi, Vol. 1, p 428)

5. One should also bear in mind that Islam does everything to stop a
woman from divorcing her man, and this is especially true if she
happens to be a mother because it is father, who takes custody of
children. This cruelty is legitimised by Islam to establish man's grip
over woman.

6. So great is the Islamic discrimination against woman to favour man
that it starts right from the lowest rung of the social ladder:

"Aisha said that she had a slave and a slave-girl who
were married. She told the Prophet that she wanted to
set them free. He said that she ought to free the slave
(man) first."
(Ibn-e-Majah,Vol. 2, ch. 130, p 100)

7. The same attitude asserts itself in the field of inheritance and
legal evidence. Though I have already stated Islamic views on these
subjects, I may add a word or two about the law of evidence regarding
women:

" ..And call in to witness,
two witnesses, men; or if the two be
not men, then one man and two women,
such witnesses as you approve of .."
(The Cow: 280)

Thus, legally, one man is equal to two women!

8. Nothing is more erroneous than the assumption that the Islamic
concept of polygamy is confined to four wives; its hidden meaning is
much deeper than what appears because it carries a sense of built-in
mirage:

"And if you desire to exchange a wife
in place of another ..take of her nothing .."
( Women: 20)

It implies that a Muslim husband is entitled to keep substituting one
wife with another provided the number does not exceed the prescribed
limit of four at the same time. He can do so easily because he has the
power to divorce at will, without giving a reason for his action. This
is how Hassan, a grandson of the Prophet multiplied the number of his
wives, ranging over seventy. It was his practice to marry during the
day, and after a night or two, he would divorce her to marry again.

9. Having intercourse with a concubine, who is a helpless woman, is a
first degree crime against humanity. The Roman Law made it punishable
by death but Islam encouraged this indecency to attract followers.
There is no law against the concubine-rapists but there is swift
retribution against an indecent woman, and her man can inflict this
punishment on her without fear of legal retribution.

"Such of you women as commit indecency
call four of you to witness against them;
and if they witness; then detain them
in their houses until death takes them
or God appoints for them a way." (Women: 20)

Since nobody has explained satisfactorily the meaning of: "Or God
appoints for them a way," the punishment for an indecent woman cannot
be anything but death by incarceration. And this is in addition to
other forms of punishment e.g. flogging and stoning.

10. The true Islamic value of woman becomes evident when we realise
that her marriage is not substantive but precarious. If a man does not
like his daughter-in- law, and tells his son to divorce her without
giving a reason for it, he must do so.
(Tirmzi,Vol. 1 p 440)

a. There is also a famous tradition of the Prophet ascribed to Katib
al Waqidi and proudly recited by the mullahs to declare brotherhood of
the fellow-Muslims:

"Behold my two wives and select the one you like the best."

This brotherly gesture was made by a Medinite Muslim (an Ansar) to an
immigrant Muslim, when the Prophet fled Mecca along with his followers
to seek refuge in Medina. The offer was accepted readily and the
offerer divorced the wife chosen by the offeree!

It shows that woman is just a souvenir in Islam. Look at the following
hadith as well:

b. In the battle fought against FAZARA under the command of Abu Bakr,
a very pretty Arab girl was given as share of booty to Salama Bin
Al-Akwa. He had not seduced her when the Prophet met him in the
street, and said, " O Salama, give me that girl, may God bless your
father." Salam said, "She is for you, Messenger of Allah! By Allah I
have not yet disrobed her. "

The Messenger of Allah sent her to the people of Mecca, and
surrendered her as a ransom for a number of Muslims, who had been kept
there as prisoners.
(Muslim: 4345)

The Prophet himself accepted women as a gift. The Coptic Mary, who
bore him a son, is an example in point.

11. The Prophet declared from the pulpit at Hajj, a wife must not
spend anything belonging to her husband without his permission, and
this prohibition equally applied to buying foodstuff.
(Tirmzi Vol. 1, p 265)

The Prophet himself accepted women as a gift. The Coptic Mary, who
bore him a son, is an example in point.

12. Even in religious matters of great importance, a wife is subjected
to her husband's command. There are several hadiths which say that a
wife may not observe fasting without her husband's permission in case
he wants to have sexual intercourse with her.
( Tirmzi, Vol . 1, p 300 )

13. Islam treats woman as a devil owing to her erotic effect on man:

The Prophet unintentionally looked at a woman and was aroused. He went
home and had intercourse with Zainab (one of his pretty wives). He
said, "Woman faces you as Devil. If you are affected by her charm,
have intercourse with your wife because she has the same thing as the
woman who affected you."
(Tirmzi, Vol. 1, p 428)

14. Woman is twisted by birth:

The Prophet said:

Woman has been created from a rib which is twisted.
If you try to straighten it, you will break it. It is
desirable to make the best use of it as it is.
(Tirmzi, Vol. 1 p 440)

15. Here is a surprising hadith:

The woman whose husband remains happy at night, and
every night, she will be admitted into paradise.
(Tirmzi, Vol. 1, p 428)

It obviously means that for a woman, gratification of man's lust is an
act of worshipping God!

a. This is the reason that another hadith says:

The woman who decorates herself for anyone other than her own husband
is like darkness of the Day of Judgement.
(Tirmzi, Vol. 1, p 430)

16. A woman is a calamity for man by her very nature:

The Prophet said that he had not left for man any calamity which could
hurt him except woman.
(Tirmzi, Vol. 2 p 286)

Add to the above, the following to realise woman's status in Islam:

17. A woman is not a believer if she undertakes a journey which may
last three days or longer, unless she is accompanied by her husband,
son, father or brother.
(Tirmzi, p 431)

18. If a woman refuses to come to bed when invited by her husband, she
becomes a target of the curses of angels. Exactly the same happens if
she deserts her husband's bed.
(Bokhari, Vol. 7 p 93)

19. The women, who are ungrateful to their men, are the denizens of
hell; it is an act of ingratitude for a woman to say:

"I have never seen any good from you."
(Bokhari Vol. 7, p 96)

20. A woman in many ways is deprived of the possession of her own
body. Even her milk belongs to her husband.
(Bokhari Vol. 7, p 27)

She is not allowed to practise birth-control either.

21. The Prophet said: "When wife vexes her husband, then houri of
paradise utter curses on her saying, 'may God destroy you because he
is with you only for a short time; he will shortly leave you to come
to us.'
(Ibn-e-Majah, Vol. 1, p 560)

22. The Prophet said, "A woman's evidence carries half the weight of
that of a man .. it is owing to lack of wisdom on their part. However,
they are also injurious to the dignity of faith and cannot be allowed
to say prayer during the period of menstruation or observe tasting."
(Mishkat, Vol. 1, p 19)

23. The Prophet said: "Beware of women because the calamity that the
Israelite suffered was caused by women."
(Mishkat, Vol. 2, p 70)

24. The Prophet said: "Misfortune is a part of womanhood, residence
and horse."
(Mishkat, Vol. 2, p 70)

25. The Prophet said: "No woman should perform a marriage ceremony of
another woman or her own because such a woman is the true seducer."
(Mishkat, Vol. 2, p 78)

26. The Prophet said: "If Eve was not created, no woman would have
been dishonest towards her husband."
(Mishkat, Vol. 2, p 98)

27. The Prophet said: "When a man calls his wife to bed and she
refuses and he is angered, then angels keep cursing her all night
..even the Master of Sky (God) is annoyed with her until husband is
reconciled with her."
(Mishkat, Vol. 2, p 100)

28. The Prophet said: "When a woman dies, if her husband was pleased
with her, she goes to paradise."
(Mishkat, Vol. 2, p 102)

29. The Prophet said: "On the Day of Judgement, a husband shall not be
questioned for beating his wife."
(Mishkat, Vol. 2, p 105)

a. Beating is a speciality of Islam for taming the "feminine brutes."
The Koran says: "And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish
them to their couches, and beat them. If they then obey you, look not
for any way against them." (Women: 35)

It has been said that, due to shortage of women, the Arab practised a
culture which was nearly matriarchal, that is, women had high social
positions in their clans, and were, therefore, inclined to dominate
men. The Prophet Muhammad was himself an employee of Khadija whom he
married, despite the fact that she was fifteen years older than he
was.

The Prophet was endowed with a masculine social approach and wanted
men to be dominant for creating a hardy, warrior Arab nation, capable
of conquering the world. This is the reason that the Koran gave men an
absolute authority to subdue women by beating, if necessary. It was an
essential part of subjugating woman to man's sexual suzerainty. Men,
certainly made the best use of this prerogative. A hadith says:

" ..women had become bold with their men, and so the Prophet
authorised beating them. As a result, seventy women, during one
evening, gathered at the residence of the Prophet to complain ruefully
against their husbands, who they thought, were not good people."
(Ibn-e-Majah, Vol. 1, p 553)

30. I ought to repeat that with wife-beating goes the Koranic behest
of purdah, which has been a major cause of destroying female
liberties:

"And say to the believing women, that they
cast down their eyes and guard their private
parts, and reveal not their adornment
save such as is outward; and let them cast
their veils over their bosoms, and not reveal
their adornment save to their husbands .."
(Light XXIV: 30)

Again:

"O Prophet, say to the wives and daughters
and the believing women, that they draw
their veils close to them:"
(The Confederates 33: 55)

31. Then came the further Koranic command for women:

"And stay in your houses .."
(The Confederates 33: 25)

Thus the Muslim woman was totally secluded from society and became a
source of sexual enjoyment and political pawn for man. One ought to
bear in mind that the Prophet himself concluded alliances with
powerful men through marriages: Abu Bakr and Umar were his
fathers-in-law, and Uthman and Ali were his sons-in- law. These are
the men who are considered next to the Prophet in rank and dignity for
the part they played in spreading Islam and establishing the Arab
Empire.

Recent rise of women as political heads in Pakistan, Bangladesh and
Turkey, does not represent the Islamic ethos but a rebellion against
it, showing its spiritual decline.

The logic is weighted against you. It's time you started to admit that
Islam needs to clean house in a big way, just as Christianity did
before it.

The spirit of islamic law is to treat women as second hand, as objects,
little better than speaking cattle. The spirit of the law is against women,
this no driving law is simply an extension of that spirit applied to modern
machines. You can whine and bitch this is not the case all you want, and I
will call you a liar, so please proceded with your obligitory islamic

That's equivocation. The motives of the combatants in WWII was not to
promote a religion. Jihad is.

He has 1400 years of islamic imperialism and conquest to use as evidence for
his position.

Quite a number of TV news magazines have tried to interview women in

And here is yet another mostly over-looked story of the glories of
shari'a and Islam at work:

Islamists Leave 'Killing Field'

And just wait until the islamo-fascists in Paris, Brussels and Berlin

No I am not and have repeatedly in this thread. As I said - please attempt
comprehension.

I reiterate this (written several posts ago) which explains my position
I know the quran does not specifically mention wether a woman can drive a
car or not -
but the foundation of the law is found in the discriminatory interpretation
of Islam SA uses.

So yes - you were mistaken. Nowhere did I state SA law equals Islamic law.
I said SA laws are derived from Islamic Laws and the Wahhabi interpretation
of such.

Sure it means something to me. It's a great example of Americans going
around the world to kill large numbers of fascists. A worthy cause
that hopefully we are ready to embark upon again. This time killing
islamofascists.

I think the facts speak for themselves. You are defending a theocratic
system from the 7th century, and you are doing it using a
technological construct built by the US from the 20th century. A
construct that is inimical to islam, because it promotes the free
exchange of ideas. In simpler terms, you're a fucking idiot.

Now, shouldn't you be hiding in cave and shagging your camel or
something?

You can't have it both ways. Either blame Saudi Arabia or blame Islam.

1) You accept the fact that Saudi Laws do not equal Islamic Laws.

2) You Saudi laws are a Wahhabi interpretation of Islami Laws.

3) You know Saudi's don't let women drive.

4) You know Islam has no law regarding driving.

So who are you blaming ? Islam ????

Sounds to me your anger should be at Saudi Arabia.

You can't simply state 'interpretations' or Wahhabi 'interpretations' and

Interpretations have to be supported and defended using the Quran.
If you can show that the Quran supports the ban on women drivers through
your magical 'interpretation' I would love to hear it.

Otherwise any Kook can interpret anything to mean anything.

The American consitution could be interpreted to mean women can't drive.
Defend the interpretation and then you have a case against Islam.

Until that time, you have no evidence against Islam. Your anger should be

Islam does not give women the same rights or value as men, that is a fact.

You used one quote and none of its surrounding material. The word compulsion
does not refer to islamic egailitarianism but to non compulsive behaviour
when you are in a 'religion'.

First Islam has nothing to do with the driving laws of Saudia Arabia.

Second gender differences exist. This is a fact which even the most
extreme feminists can not deny. Islam recognizes these differences and
when viewed with honesty they are out of respect for women. I don't
expect you to understand this because your idea's about Islam are sooo
wrong.

Take for example in Western cultures. Do you think we have gender
equality ? Do you think we really want gender equality ?

You might say 'yes!', but if your honest and use your mind I am sure you
would not support complete gender equality. For example should we force
women to compete with men in sports ?

At the olympics should we pit the male athletes against the females ? or
should we separate them on the basis of gender ?

The exact same applies in Islam. There are differences between men and
women and Islam recognizes these differences, and due to these differences
there are certain things which are expected from men which aren't from
women and vice versa. But the differences are minor and few. Driving is
not one of them.

:> Which 'lie' did i say regarding hijab ?

: That women are not required to wear it. I can think of two countries where

Countries laws do not equal Islamic laws.

Islam does tell women to wear hijab, but it is still the womans choice.
Whether she decides to follow the Islamic teaching or not is up to her.

If Saudi Arabia forces women to wear hijab and the women do it out of fear
of Saudi authorities then that is not a religious act.

Muslims follow Islam to win the pleasure of God not Saudi authorities.

Logic my friend. You make wild claims against Islam.

It has to do with many factors but Islam is NOT one of them.
Look at Africa for example. Are the Christian African countries
better off then the non-Christian ones ?

If Islam is really the problem, then why do the same Muslims excel
in Canada, US and other countries ?

Most Muslims I know in Canada have very good jobs, or are in University.

It's not the religion. It's the countries that are the problems.
If it was the religion then we would find Muslims in Canada in major
trouble. Yet many Muslims excel in education, get good jobs, and live
good lives.

The Islam is not the problem, it is the governments and leaders of
these countries. Blame them not Islam.

Muslims also believe in Jesus peace be upon him. Muslims believe he was
sent by God (Allah). We believe he was honest and carried out the work of
God. All Muslims believe this. Muslims have the utmost respect for Jesus
(pbuh).

You snipped and refused to answer the many points made in my post
showing the precise opposite of what you claim... let me paste them
back in for you -


Some time ago a fellow posted a long article concerning human rights
under Islam .. a good chunk of it related to women's rights .. here's a
rather lengthy excerpt from that post-

<89486bdd.03011...@posting.google.com>
---- begin quote ---

4. Rights of Women
Have women really got rights in Islam? To explain this point, I ought
to add that Adam, the progenitor of mankind, according to Genesis, the
First Book of Moses, defied God to please his woman called "Eve." The
significance of this event demonstrates the natural grip of woman on
man.

To fathom the significance of this act, one must realise that God had
kept Adam in the Garden of Eden, abounding in lush trees laden with
luscious fruits; its ground was emerald green, studded with heavenly
streams of milk, honey and wine; its valleys echoed with melodies of
the chirping birds that created a musical environment; the more
hilarious aspect of the Garden of Eden was that there was no toil,
pain, disease or death, and all provisions were abundant and free. Yet
Adam flouted the Divine Command to win favour of his woman and
preferred pain to pleasure, mortality to immortality and drudgery to
free living.

The act of rewarding man with such a delightful opulence made God
believe that Adam would not choose anything but Him. It is baffling to
note that Adam preferred Eve, his woman, to God and all the fantastic
luxuries. In this game of selection, God lost to woman because of her
sex-appeal to man.

Realising the significance of faminine charm, the Prophet Muhammad
treated woman as the final goal of existence; in this life woman is to
serve as the source of gratification for man, and salvation i.e.
achieving entry into paradise in the next world, means sexual
enjoyment of houris - the most beautiful virgins that await lucky men
to offer them their carnal delights.

This Islamic plan, which is executed through a legal code, also serves
as the bait for attracting followers. However, there is a big paradox
to be resolved if this scheme is to operate successfully: woman has
got to be reduced to the status of a slave for neutralising all her
resistance to man's will. For this purpose, women must be stripped of
all their human rights, because a woman with rights, is bound to claim
equality. But, unless this process is conducted skillfully, women are
bound to rebel against Islam, and may thus cause its downfall. This is
the reason that Islam accords some spurious rights to women to fool,
snool and rule them.

Islam appears gentle, generous and genuine in this field, but its
veneer soon crumbles when we judge the Islamic law in the light of
practical life. Historically, there is no doubt that Islam is the
first religion that appears to have given women the following rights:

1. The right to inherit property, and
2. The right to divorce man.

But in effect, these rights are spurious because they cannot be
exercised by women for the following reasons:

1 a. Allah has subjected women to the law of purdah, that is, they
must not participate in social life.

"And so to the believing women, that they
cast down their eyes and guard their private
parts, and reveal not their adornment
save such as is outward; and let them cast
their veils over their bosoms, and not reveal .."
(Light XXIV: 30)

Again, the Koran says:

"O Prophet, say to the wives and daughters
and the believing women, that they draw
their veils close to them .."
(The Confederates XXXIII: 55)

In addition to veiling, Allah confines women's activities within the
four-walls of their homes:

"Remain in your houses; and display not
your finery, as did the pagans of old."
(The Confederates XXXIII: 25)

With a view to depriving women of their rights, the Koran lays it
down:

"Men are the managers of the affairs of women
for that God has preferred in bounty
One of them over another .....
Righteous women are therefore obedient .....
And those you fear may be rebellious
admonish; banish them to their coaches
and beat them." (Women IV: 35)

Since a woman is obliged to wear a veil and restricted within her
home, and man is appointed her manager with the authority to beat her
if she does not obey him, her property rights are just an attractive
gimmick: they are a body without a soul, a locomotive engine without
steam and a bow without arrows.

2a. A woman's right to divorce is called "Khula." A man can undo his
matrimonial tie quite independently and at will, whereas the wife has
to achieve this goal through the process of law, which is very
cumbersome to say the least. Also, she is subject to the wrath of God
and curses of angels if she takes this step without complete
justification. Again, in a male chauvinistic society, it is likely
that her pleas will have no effect on the ears of a male judge, who is
used to deriding, depressing and dominating women.

According to Ibn-e-Majah, vol. 1, page 571: A wife must not seek
divorce from her husband without a serious cause. If she does, she
will not enter paradise. If she can prove her case, she will be
awarded decree only if she returns all that her husband had bestowed
on her as an entitlement or outright gift. A woman who seeks Khula,
cannot expect settlement!

The laws of inheritance treat one male equal to two females (Women IV
10). The law of evidence is even harsher: not only two women equal one
man but she may not be allowed to tender evidence where male witnesses
are available.

In view of the following limitations that Islam has imposed on woman,
one can honestly conclude that it has been done deliberately to
deprive her of human rights for converting her into a sexual toy so
that men should flock to Islam:

1. Woman has a religious duty to produce the maximum number of
children, Ibn-e-Majah reports in Vol. 1, page 518 and 523 in his
"SUNUN:" The Prophet said "Getting married is my basic doctrine. Whoso
does not follow my example, is not my follower. Marry, so that I can
claim preference over other communities (Jews and Christians) owing to
commanding a greater number of followers . "

"MISHKAT" reports in Vol. 3 page 119, a similar hadith:

"On the Day of Judgement, I shall have the greater number of followers
than any other prophet ..."

Having the largest following was obviously the greatest passion of the
Prophet Muhammad, and could be realised only by subjecting woman to
the exclusive burden of motherhood. A woman who is the mother of a
dozen children, obviously does not have time to think about her human
rights. Her mind is likely to be tortured by the fear of what happens
if she is deserted by her husband. This is powerful enough to keep her
under his thumb.

2. The second condition that governs woman's status in Islam is stated
by the Koran in "Iron: 25:"

"And monasticism they invented - We
did not prescribe it for them - only
seeking the good pleasure of God; but
they observed it not as it should be observed."

Simply stated, these verses mean that the Christians flouted God's
will by practising monasticism because enjoyment of women by man is
"the good pleasure of God. "

Thus woman is nothing but the source of pleasure to man. However, it
implies that, in return for being the provider of delight, she is
entitled to love and reverence as her fundamental rights. In fact,
every woman is conscious of it and wants to be treated respectfully,
but Islam in line with the Semitic philosophy, which states that man
must have sexual pleasure by command, opposes this attitude. In
marriage, there is no Islamic concept of consent in carnality: Woman
in Islam is man's tillage and he is empowered to use her as he wishes.
This is the reason that Islamic law aims at man's ascendancy,
inflicting a corresponding humiliation on woman. The reader can judge
this truth from the following:

"Women have such honourable rights as obligations
but their men have a degree above them."
(The Cow: 225)

This is a highly debated verse, and Islamic zealots are always
stretching it to prove equality of sexes. Therefore, I may quote from
the hadith to demonstrate its truth:

"If women comply with your commands, do not
molest them ..Iisten carefully, they have a right
over you that you take care of their food and
wear."
(Ibn-e-Majh, Vol. 1, p. 519)

Woman's rights are limited to her maintenance provided she obeys her
man. Instead of indulging in further discussion of this point, I may
state the usually held Islamic belief that man is superior to woman.
In fact, the Koranic law supports this idea to the hilt. Here is the
explanation:

1. " ..marry such women
as seem good to you, two, three, four."
( Women: 1)

Here man is given the lawful prerogative to have four wives of his own
choice at the same time. The Muslim scholars have been putting various
interpretations on this verse to avoid the shame of polygamy. For
example, they say, woman is not allowed polyandry (having more than
one husband at the same time) because it becomes impossible to know
the father of the child. This argument does not hold good when we are
talking about the basic rights of man and woman, which constitute the
principle of equality.

Again, this point of view is nullified by the scientific advances:
firstly, invention of the Pill has given woman control over her body,
and she does not have to have children unless she wants them.
Secondly, clinical tests today, can establish the fatherhood of a
child with certainty. Therefore, this type of argument proves nothing
but futility, frivolity and fictitiousness of the Islamic law, which
seeks to impose male dominance on woman in the name of fairness,
felicity and fruitfulness.

Add to the above, the Islamic law of concubinage which allows a man as
many unmarried women in his harem as he can afford. For example, Akbar
the Great of India had 5,000 concubines and his son, Jehangir, had no
fewer than 6,000! There is only one description for them - private
brothels. Yet the Muslim scholars talk of morality and women's rights.

3. We are told, as men have rights over women so women have rights
over men. This is quoted as the proof of equality. In fact, this is
highly misleading because relationship of their mutual rights makes
man the master and woman the slave.

The only mentionable right that woman has over man is the right to be
fed and clothed. I have already quoted a hadith to this effect. Now
look at the other side of the coin:

"If I were to order someone to prostrate before other
than God, I would have commanded woman to
prostrate before her husband.

If a husband tells his wife to keep carrying a load of
stones from that red mountain to that black mountain,
she must obey him whole heartedly."
(Ibn-e-Majah, Vol. 1, ch. 592, p 520)

4. "By God, who controls the life of Muhammad, a woman cannot
discharge her duty towards God until she has discharged her duty
towards her husband: if she is riding a camel and her husband
expresses his desire, she must not refuse."
(Ibn-e-Maja, Vol. 1, ch. 592, p 520)

Again, if a man is in a mood to have sexual intercourse, the wife must
come immediately even if she is baking bread at a communal oven.
(Tirmzi, Vol. 1, p 428)

5. One should also bear in mind that Islam does everything to stop a
woman from divorcing her man, and this is especially true if she
happens to be a mother because it is father, who takes custody of
children. This cruelty is legitimised by Islam to establish man's grip
over woman.

6. So great is the Islamic discrimination against woman to favour man
that it starts right from the lowest rung of the social ladder:

"Aisha said that she had a slave and a slave-girl who
were married. She told the Prophet that she wanted to
set them free. He said that she ought to free the slave
(man) first."
(Ibn-e-Majah,Vol. 2, ch. 130, p 100)

7. The same attitude asserts itself in the field of inheritance and
legal evidence. Though I have already stated Islamic views on these
subjects, I may add a word or two about the law of evidence regarding
women:

" ..And call in to witness,
two witnesses, men; or if the two be
not men, then one man and two women,
such witnesses as you approve of .."
(The Cow: 280)

Thus, legally, one man is equal to two women!

8. Nothing is more erroneous than the assumption that the Islamic
concept of polygamy is confined to four wives; its hidden meaning is
much deeper than what appears because it carries a sense of built-in
mirage:

"And if you desire to exchange a wife
in place of another ..take of her nothing .."
( Women: 20)

It implies that a Muslim husband is entitled to keep substituting one
wife with another provided the number does not exceed the prescribed
limit of four at the same time. He can do so easily because he has the
power to divorce at will, without giving a reason for his action. This
is how Hassan, a grandson of the Prophet multiplied the number of his
wives, ranging over seventy. It was his practice to marry during the
day, and after a night or two, he would divorce her to marry again.

9. Having intercourse with a concubine, who is a helpless woman, is a
first degree crime against humanity. The Roman Law made it punishable
by death but Islam encouraged this indecency to attract followers.
There is no law against the concubine-rapists but there is swift
retribution against an indecent woman, and her man can inflict this
punishment on her without fear of legal retribution.

"Such of you women as commit indecency
call four of you to witness against them;
and if they witness; then detain them
in their houses until death takes them
or God appoints for them a way." (Women: 20)

Since nobody has explained satisfactorily the meaning of: "Or God
appoints for them a way," the punishment for an indecent woman cannot
be anything but death by incarceration. And this is in addition to
other forms of punishment e.g. flogging and stoning.

10. The true Islamic value of woman becomes evident when we realise
that her marriage is not substantive but precarious. If a man does not
like his daughter-in- law, and tells his son to divorce her without
giving a reason for it, he must do so.
(Tirmzi,Vol. 1 p 440)

a. There is also a famous tradition of the Prophet ascribed to Katib
al Waqidi and proudly recited by the mullahs to declare brotherhood of
the fellow-Muslims:

"Behold my two wives and select the one you like the best."

This brotherly gesture was made by a Medinite Muslim (an Ansar) to an
immigrant Muslim, when the Prophet fled Mecca along with his followers
to seek refuge in Medina. The offer was accepted readily and the
offerer divorced the wife chosen by the offeree!

It shows that woman is just a souvenir in Islam. Look at the following
hadith as well:

b. In the battle fought against FAZARA under the command of Abu Bakr,
a very pretty Arab girl was given as share of booty to Salama Bin
Al-Akwa. He had not seduced her when the Prophet met him in the
street, and said, " O Salama, give me that girl, may God bless your
father." Salam said, "She is for you, Messenger of Allah! By Allah I
have not yet disrobed her. "

The Messenger of Allah sent her to the people of Mecca, and
surrendered her as a ransom for a number of Muslims, who had been kept
there as prisoners.
(Muslim: 4345)

The Prophet himself accepted women as a gift. The Coptic Mary, who
bore him a son, is an example in point.

11. The Prophet declared from the pulpit at Hajj, a wife must not
spend anything belonging to her husband without his permission, and
this prohibition equally applied to buying foodstuff.
(Tirmzi Vol. 1, p 265)

The Prophet himself accepted women as a gift. The Coptic Mary, who
bore him a son, is an example in point.

12. Even in religious matters of great importance, a wife is subjected
to her husband's command. There are several hadiths which say that a
wife may not observe fasting without her husband's permission in case
he wants to have sexual intercourse with her.
( Tirmzi, Vol . 1, p 300 )

13. Islam treats woman as a devil owing to her erotic effect on man:

The Prophet unintentionally looked at a woman and was aroused. He went
home and had intercourse with Zainab (one of his pretty wives). He
said, "Woman faces you as Devil. If you are affected by her charm,
have intercourse with your wife because she has the same thing as the
woman who affected you."
(Tirmzi, Vol. 1, p 428)

14. Woman is twisted by birth:

The Prophet said:

Woman has been created from a rib which is twisted.
If you try to straighten it, you will break it. It is
desirable to make the best use of it as it is.
(Tirmzi, Vol. 1 p 440)

15. Here is a surprising hadith:

The woman whose husband remains happy at night, and
every night, she will be admitted into paradise.
(Tirmzi, Vol. 1, p 428)

It obviously means that for a woman, gratification of man's lust is an
act of worshipping God!

a. This is the reason that another hadith says:

The woman who decorates herself for anyone other than her own husband
is like darkness of the Day of Judgement.
(Tirmzi, Vol. 1, p 430)

16. A woman is a calamity for man by her very nature:

The Prophet said that he had not left for man any calamity which could
hurt him except woman.
(Tirmzi, Vol. 2 p 286)

Add to the above, the following to realise woman's status in Islam:

17. A woman is not a believer if she undertakes a journey which may
last three days or longer, unless she is accompanied by her husband,
son, father or brother.
(Tirmzi, p 431)

18. If a woman refuses to come to bed when invited by her husband, she
becomes a target of the curses of angels. Exactly the same happens if
she deserts her husband's bed.
(Bokhari, Vol. 7 p 93)

19. The women, who are ungrateful to their men, are the denizens of
hell; it is an act of ingratitude for a woman to say:

"I have never seen any good from you."
(Bokhari Vol. 7, p 96)

20. A woman in many ways is deprived of the possession of her own
body. Even her milk belongs to her husband.
(Bokhari Vol. 7, p 27)

She is not allowed to practise birth-control either.

21. The Prophet said: "When wife vexes her husband, then houri of
paradise utter curses on her saying, 'may God destroy you because he
is with you only for a short time; he will shortly leave you to come
to us.'
(Ibn-e-Majah, Vol. 1, p 560)

22. The Prophet said, "A woman's evidence carries half the weight of
that of a man .. it is owing to lack of wisdom on their part. However,
they are also injurious to the dignity of faith and cannot be allowed
to say prayer during the period of menstruation or observe tasting."
(Mishkat, Vol. 1, p 19)

23. The Prophet said: "Beware of women because the calamity that the
Israelite suffered was caused by women."
(Mishkat, Vol. 2, p 70)

24. The Prophet said: "Misfortune is a part of womanhood, residence
and horse."
(Mishkat, Vol. 2, p 70)

25. The Prophet said: "No woman should perform a marriage ceremony of
another woman or her own because such a woman is the true seducer."
(Mishkat, Vol. 2, p 78)

26. The Prophet said: "If Eve was not created, no woman would have
been dishonest towards her husband."
(Mishkat, Vol. 2, p 98)

27. The Prophet said: "When a man calls his wife to bed and she
refuses and he is angered, then angels keep cursing her all night
..even the Master of Sky (God) is annoyed with her until husband is
reconciled with her."
(Mishkat, Vol. 2, p 100)

28. The Prophet said: "When a woman dies, if her husband was pleased
with her, she goes to paradise."
(Mishkat, Vol. 2, p 102)

29. The Prophet said: "On the Day of Judgement, a husband shall not be
questioned for beating his wife."
(Mishkat, Vol. 2, p 105)

a. Beating is a speciality of Islam for taming the "feminine brutes."
The Koran says: "And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish
them to their couches, and beat them. If they then obey you, look not
for any way against them." (Women: 35)

It has been said that, due to shortage of women, the Arab practised a
culture which was nearly matriarchal, that is, women had high social
positions in their clans, and were, therefore, inclined to dominate
men. The Prophet Muhammad was himself an employee of Khadija whom he
married, despite the fact that she was fifteen years older than he
was.

The Prophet was endowed with a masculine social approach and wanted
men to be dominant for creating a hardy, warrior Arab nation, capable
of conquering the world. This is the reason that the Koran gave men an
absolute authority to subdue women by beating, if necessary. It was an
essential part of subjugating woman to man's sexual suzerainty. Men,
certainly made the best use of this prerogative. A hadith says:

" ..women had become bold with their men, and so the Prophet
authorised beating them. As a result, seventy women, during one
evening, gathered at the residence of the Prophet to complain ruefully
against their husbands, who they thought, were not good people."
(Ibn-e-Majah, Vol. 1, p 553)

30. I ought to repeat that with wife-beating goes the Koranic behest
of purdah, which has been a major cause of destroying female
liberties:

"And say to the believing women, that they
cast down their eyes and guard their private
parts, and reveal not their adornment
save such as is outward; and let them cast
their veils over their bosoms, and not reveal
their adornment save to their husbands .."
(Light XXIV: 30)

Again:

"O Prophet, say to the wives and daughters
and the believing women, that they draw
their veils close to them:"
(The Confederates 33: 55)

31. Then came the further Koranic command for women:

"And stay in your houses .."
(The Confederates 33: 25)

Thus the Muslim woman was totally secluded from society and became a
source of sexual enjoyment and political pawn for man. One ought to
bear in mind that the Prophet himself concluded alliances with
powerful men through marriages: Abu Bakr and Umar were his
fathers-in-law, and Uthman and Ali were his sons-in- law. These are
the men who are considered next to the Prophet in rank and dignity for
the part they played in spreading Islam and establishing the Arab
Empire.

Recent rise of women as political heads in Pakistan, Bangladesh and
Turkey, does not represent the Islamic ethos but a rebellion against
it, showing its spiritual decline.

--- end quote ---

Now if you know how to read .. and read the Qu'ran .. you cannot claim
that "Islam gives women the utmost respect"... to do so is to simply
lie... if you practise your faith in a way that is different to what is
written in the Qu'ran then why don't you just muster the courage to
admit you ARE NOT A PRACTISING MUSLIM!?!?!

actually you completely failed to address the paragraphs I wrote
responding to your little tangent on driving laws .. in fact you failed
so much and so deliberately that you even SNIPPED the revelant
paragraphs from your reply .. let me paste them back in for you-

The fact you are focusing on a technicality such as driving exposes you
as being disingenuous... his point, I believe, is to show Shariah law
(practised in many Muslim nations) as being inherently sexist and
*designed* to keep the woman in servitude to the man.

The laws against driving cars are simply extensions of Sharia laws.
When you base your laws on Shariah, with its severe limitations on
travel, work, marriage, even speaking to men, it becomes very easy to
continue this oppression to modern activities such as driving.

Rather than confront this, agree, and join him in lobbying Islamic
nations that practise this barbarism you instead attempt to make
apologies for it, cover it up and claim it is not Islamic when it
clearly is.

The question regarding how mohammedans view women is settled
by His Imamence himself at

http://www.islam.tc/ask-imam/index.php

From what I've seen there, it seems that if you consider women
as anything other than servants, amusement and brood stock,
you're a sinner.

A pertinent example is at this page, or you can find it
by putting "drive" in the search keyword. It's the first
one on the list.

http://www.islam.tc/ask-imam/view.php?q=7272

He says that the act of driving itself is not prohibited, but
it's impermissable because (paraphrasing) women can't be trusted
to go outside by themselves. The imam's answer seems to imply that
moslem males have an almost fanatical distrust among themselves.
They need some therapy or something. Anyway, such paranoia might
explain why they hate and fear infidels.

I also wanted to mention that it isn't necessary for you to
proclaim your personal superiority over everyone else and to
tell us you're crushing them. That's lame. It does provide
a marker for the casual reader who's looking for a good place
to just skip to another article, and it might get a few
chuckles, but that's all. Anyway, whenever you're right about
that, we'll all notice. We will not be holding our collective
breath. You need to improve by learning from the people who
are trying to help you here. You need to push the religious
indoctrination out of your head and see what they're showing
you. Pray about it later. I suppose the fear of being stoned
to death is harsh, but be strong. Each new learning experience
will improve your act. Start by looking up "your" in a book.

Cretin Shakeel thinks I asked why he quotes The Guide For
7th Century Living. His lack of reading comprehension is
almost as serious as his indoctrination.

No, actually what I said is the way it is. Why did they tell

Hey, it's what The Pervert wrote in your silly book. You can
believe, disbelieve, believe, disbelieve and then disbelieve
some more, and the mythical Allah will never forgive you.
The fact that you snipped that would suggest that you actually
understood it, but if you aren't allowed to, you won't.

"Your just ignorant" would define you as ignorant, if
you hadn't already ignorantly written the non sequitur,
among other dozens of childishly ignorant remarks.

You da man. HAHA<choke>HAHAH@#$@#<gasp>HAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!

There are people who "hammer" others, and there are other
people who like to hear themselves say they do. You'll be
one of the former when Allah and that dead pervert Mohammed
dance a tarantella on the surface of the Mediterranean.

As to why you continue your empty bleating, it's most
likely just because you're stupid.

I doubt that anyone is thinking you're arrogant. "What the
fuck basis does that brainwashed tool of religion think he
has for arrogance?!" is what normal people say to that.

Uh-huh... Nothing you're allowed to understand.

Fuck you too, dick head.

The spirit of the law is clearly against women, you can not deny that you
jack ass. Women not being allowed to drive is a manifestation of that
spirit. You, like a childish little prick and islamist apologist fuck want
to ignore that reality because it suits your purposes for the moment.

You snipped the message where I made the point about the spirit of the law
because you didn't want to have to deal with that aspect, your snip is the
proof that you are a lying fuck. So eat shit and die, mother fucker.

You're so correct.. the favourite tactic is to look for tangents in
debate so as to avoid the guts of the issue being debated.

You don't seem to have a problem with how women are treated in Saudi
Arabia, the home of Islam, and the fact that we are buddies with them.

In fact young Muslims are excelling and are contributing to the countries

they also give to the poor, and help others in there communities.

If that's what you call being 'anchored in the middle ages' then you had
better study some history.

Muslims believe Allah created the laws of physics. Muslims throughout
history have studied science. One of the greatest physicists of our time
was a Muslim. Dr. Abdus Salam is well respected in the field of physics.
Do some research before you open your mouth.

You, my friend, want to live in your make believe world in which Muslims
live in caves and spend their time abusing women. I know your wrong, but
your head is thick, and I'm not going to convince you in one day.

It'll take time but the truth will surface.

You are the height of illogic.

1) You make claims against Islam.

2) I prove them false by quoting the Quran.

3) You respond by saying you don't want quotes from the Quran.

What would you like ? To find out about Islam the ultimate
source is the Quran.

Not to be insulting but you have to pretty damn
stupid not to follow.

Let's try again:

1) I make claims against the American constitution.

2) You provide text from the constitution proving me wrong.

3) I respond good argument you win. OR
I quote another piece of the constituion to defend my side.

That's how it should work. You have utterly failed.
I give you a grade of F for faliure.
In terms of effort I also give you an F, I know you can do
better. Either that or concede the point.

: No, actually what I said is the way it is. Why did they tell
: you to deny it?

Who told me to deny it 'mullah's ? I quoted the Quran your the
one brining mullah's into the conversation. But I'm too smart
for your petty attempts. Try again.

:> : So you'll have to go through all those stages before the


:> : "mullahs" (slavemasters) are free to kill you.

As I said above, I'm too smart too smart to fall for these
childish attempts. You have 4 options:

1) Go away.
2) Admit you are wrong.
3) Try to prove you are right.
or
4) Continue taking a beating.

Take your pick.

So far I have proved:

1) Saudi Law does not equal Islamic Law.

2) Islam has not banned women from driving.

3) Islam does not teach Muslims to kill apostates.

If you disagree with any of the above feel free to present
your arguments.


Have a nice day..
