Come on! (???)
I could easily come up with ridiculous antiquated passages from some Buddhist texts, or the New/Old Testament/King James, or the Jehovah's Witnesses, or the Sikhs, or the Hindus, or the Pastafarians, or whatever the friend.
(this guy in your post is an idiot, because he's a fundamentalist.)
We have a fundamentalist running on the ticket for VP.
Hit me back! lulz
That's one thing about Moreluck, she doesn't waste time looking into the details. I mean, certainly there are
no muslim women who might offer another point of view that counters her's. And not that for one moment would she or several others here take the time to hear what the Muslim Women's League had to say about such subjects as
Honor Killings when instead they just throw out the xenophobia.
And I'm sure More and some of her friends have never once took the time to google such things as "Wives Obey Your Husbands" for example and read some of the batschitt crazy crap out there direct from the bible under the name of christianity. One of my favorites is
"A Christian Wife is to obey her husband in everything" and they make sure to put the word
EVERYTHING in all caps and bold. Read enough of that junk and it doesn't take long to see claims that the bible allows husbands to beat the *itch if she doesn't do as you tell her. And were one to google and search muslim domestic violence and christian domestic violence, there's not a big difference to begin with.
And if you ask why muslims don't object, well the same boney finger can be pointed back at you and the same question asked. I'm betting the vast majority of muslims are like the christians in that so few have even read their own holy book to begin with. Most ramble around in a mindless state letting others do their thinking and rambling amen when the words just sound right. Or happen to go with what they want to believe.
As I read the piece on honor killings I came across the following comment about the teachings of the Quran.
Individual accountability before God is stressed throughout the Qur’an, beginning with the story of Adam and Eve: as a result of their transgression (committed together and simultaneously) they were banished from Paradise and made to toil on Earth. God chose to forgive them both and so their sin is not inherited by subsequent generations.
How refreshing, a god that forgives and doesn't advocate that Pauline crap of imputed sin which is nothing more than a mind job to control thinking. I can say I actually admire that in the muslim god. Good for them in not laying that guilt trip on people. And while More and friends mouthoff in support of people who speak against gay marriage, the same people who most often defend that position with OT doctrine, would also overlook in those same chapters, verses that call for the exact same punishment as islamic law does for the same alleged offenses. Funny how so many people claim to be a follower of and yet never, ever, ever read the owners manual that goes with it.
