SUPERIOR OZZY wrote: <quoted text>You lie!!! Question: Does Islam require women to cover themselves? Summary Answer: Yes. The reason is that it is supposed to curb the sexual appetites of passing men ...Women are also not allowed to travel by themselves, or be alone with a man who is not a relative. This is also wrong. Women can travel by themselves. I've been to several Muslim countries like Malaysia, Pakistan, Indonesia and even Dubai and Western countries like USA and Canada where I've seen Muslim women driving the car by themselves (to pick up the kids or to go shopping). This is again a cultural issue of Saudi Arabia where women do not travel by themselves. They are accompanied by a man who is not a relative. The Qur'an: Qur'an (24:31)- Commands women to "draw their headscarves" over their neckline as well.
Wrong. This is an English translation from Arabic. In proper context, this particular section of Islam was revealed to the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) because one of his followers questioned him about how married and single women could be easily identified in the market and could be sexually distracting. God then revealed scriptures to the Prophet that protected women from rape and sexual assault. This is the purpose of these verses. Do you know that there are over 1.5 million Muslims in UK including 700,000 women. How many of them wear head scarves? Does Islam have a loophole for sex-on-demand called 'temporary marriage'? Summary Answer: It is called Nikah Mut'ah, a fixed-time arrangement between a man and a woman that dissolves once the duration expires.
Again, taken out of context. You should actually read the verses before and after. You are actually questioning God's morality not Muhammad as the prophet did not make these rules. Nikah Mut'ah is to satisfy one's sexual needs. Many Arabs were and still are nomadic and, therefore don't stay in one place. By having a Nikah Mut'ah, it will lead (and often does) to permanent marriage. All Muslim men are given the right to marry 4 women. But 99% of Muslim men throughout the world only have one wife. Ever wondered why? Maybe a bit of research on Wikipedia might help! Question: Does Islam permit a man to hit his wife? Summary Answer: Yes, but only if she doesn't do as he asks. The beating must cease if the woman complies with her husband's demands. Beating is also intended to be the last resort, behind verbal abuse and abandonment. Muhammad, himself, is recorded as physically striking his favorite wife (from her own testimony). It is not known how he treated his less-favored wives. The Qur'an: Qur'an (4:34)- "Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great." Again, mis-quoted. The Quran is written in Arabic and not in English and its a good idea to read it in context. A husband (married man in this case) can only physically strike his wife if she refuses sex and they are married (if you read the Arabic version that's what it is referring to here). A woman can also hit her husband for the same reason.

I didn't know the Taurat, Bible and Quran mentioning anything about it - or did I miss it somewhere in the translation? I think female circumcision in those countries IS a cultural issue.

"SUPERIOR OZZY "I will say it again, YOU LIE!! I'm not confused one bit. You lie like all the rest of them.. For the record, I'm not Muslim but I see things in a balanced perspective. Might be because Canadians are respectful to other cultures and religions.

Look at all the suicide bombers..from Pakistan,Afghanistan,Chechnya, Indonesia,Southern Thailand,and many other countries too many to name on this post.Look at that radical Islamic preacher in Sydney causing distress to the widows of the slain soldiers.And you wonder why Australians are afraid of muslims.No, we are not afraid of muslims,We just don't trust them and we don.t want too many of them around us.it seems that an non muslim is just right for target practice for them.So yes,the less of them the better.

Strangely, nobody has responded with a list of countries that have been improved and made stronger and more united because of multiculturalism and diversity. How odd, one would have thought they would come up with dozens of countries ... It is about globalism- not diversity. WATCH THIS NEW MOVIE- IT HITS HARD ON THIS ISSUE.

November 12, 2009 No. 2645 Poem in Pakistani Jihadist Magazine: "Then We Will Go Inside America, We Will Blow up the Earth of New York; By Using the Plough of Jihad We, We Will Eliminate the Infidels from Earth" Haftroza Al-Qalam, an Urdu-language weekly Pakistani magazine, has published a poem inciting jihad against the U.S. and its allies in Afghanistan. The magazine owes its allegiance to the Sunni militant organization Jaish-e-Muhammad. Jaish-e-Muhammad, which is based in Pakistan’s Punjab province, is closely linked to Al-Qaeda. It is led by Maulana Masood Azhar, a Pakistani militant commander who was released by the Indian government in exchange for the passengers of an Indian plane that was hijacked in December 1999. The poem, which was published in the November 6-12, 2009 issue of Haftroza Al-Qalam, is written by Maulana Abu Jandal, probably a pen name. Following is the full text of the poem.
