Moderate Australian Islamic group: women can't refuse sex

I was going to take a short holiday, but Firefly's intransigence convinced me otherwise. Extremism needs constant vigilence and continuous exposure to sunlight.

Ah. A clarification. Translation: you caught us. Here's a suitable excuse.

Discuss, and froth.

I don't know, James ...according to the article, it IS part of the Muslim religion. Read the article again, James, it's not just one radical individual.

It makes me angry, I wanna punch that cleric.

 

You know, I'm starting to think this Islam thing is pretty good.

Aw crap. There's the flaw.

 

I'm beginning to think that's about right, Sam.

Baron Max

 

Oh, so now you are NOT generalizing, Baron....

Just keep watching and reading the news ...you, too, might begin to think the same way.

Baron Max

 

Is that Faux News, Baron?

Hmm, actually, Sam, al Jazeerhah is a good one to watch to get that sense. You should check it out some time.

But, no, Sam ....watch any old news program and you'll see Muslims rioting, Muslims killing other Muslims, Muslim terrorists blowing up innocent women and children, Muslims demonstrating and calling for the death of the Pope, and on and on and on and........

So pretty soon it begins to make one wonder about Muslims, ya' know???

Baron Max

 

What is the solution, do you think?

 

Muslims need to 'lighten up.'

 

sure lots of people agree with this. i'm one of them. bitch should put out on command!

Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

but i don't go claiming this in the name of Judaism. actually i believe all 3 religions believe the same thing... that a woman cannot refuse her husband. but it's the same difference as usual. some people take it literally. while i recognize that according to Judaism this may be so, i don't take it seriously because i'm a f'n liberal who lives in 2006, not 1006.

 

You're saying non-Muslims never rioted? Non-Muslims never killed other non-Muslims? Non-Muslim terrorists never blew up innocent women and children? Non-Muslims never demonstrated and called for the death of another figurehead? And on and on and on...?

I'm not saying there isn't a group of Muslims aren't innocent. There are groups of Muslims who are extremists and who do deserve the criticism you have stated.

But generalizing what's on the news and claiming ALL Muslims are like that is totally false and proves ignorance.

 

Yeah, it's happened a few times .....but white, non-Muslims won't stand for it and they crack down on such bullshit quickly. Yeah, it might happen, but it don't happen for long!

The 1.5 billion Muslims could voice their outrage at such terrorist tactics, but they don't, do they? If they did, their voices would be heard and the violence and terrorist bullshit would stop! Even in Iraq, where Shitte Muslims kill and terrrorize Sunni Muslims, we don't hear any outrage ....other than continual calls for vengeance!

The Muslims are bringing all of the world's hate onto themselves ....by not voicing their loud, insistent outrage at the terrorists.

Baron Max

 

They do and they are heard, just not in Western media.

Now why do you think that is?

As sick as terrorism is, its even sicker that people are miserable enough to believe they need to do it.
