Re: Islam today

Moslem guy beheads wife!!!! <BR> <BR>Muzzammil Hassan, founder of Bridges TV, is charged with murder in the beheading of his wife, <BR><a href="http://www.buffalonews.com/437/story/578644.html" target=_top>http://www.buffalonews.com/437/story/578644.html</a> <BR> <BR>Orchard Park police are investigating a particularly gruesome killing, the beheading of a woman, after her husband — an influential member of the local Muslim community — reported her death to police Thursday. <BR> <BR>Police identified the victim as Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37. Detectives have charged her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, with second-degree murder. <BR>&#34;He came to the police station at 6:20 p.m. [Thursday] and told us that she was dead,&#34; Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew Benz said late this morning. <BR> <BR>Muzzammil Hassan told police that his wife was at his business, Bridges TV, on Thorn Avenue in the village. Officers went to that location and discovered her body. <BR> <BR>Muzzammil Hassan is the founder and chief executive officer of Bridges TV, which he launched in 2004, amid <b><i>hopes that it would help portray Muslims in a more positive light.</i></b> <BR> <BR>well, at least the guy didn&#39;t follow his God and prophet&#39;s  command to painfully stone her to death. <BR> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.atomorrow.net/discus/messages/120/570.jpg" alt="">

Re: Islam today

This is an interesting article that gets into some of the different worldview perspectives of Muslims and Christians.  <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.crosswalk.com/news/commentary/11602059/" target=_top>http://www.crosswalk.com/news/commentary/11602059/</a> <BR> <BR>Most of Islam sees their religion as integral to their government. Christians claim separation of church and state. When terrorism from Fundamentalist Islam strikes America, is it striking as a religion or as a country or secular government. That&#39;s the rub, maybe not even these sublties are understood by Obama when he spoke in Turkey. If a country sends representatives disguised as religionists &#40;Islam&#41; to do us harm, we are at war with that country. If some religionists &#40;Islam&#41; are hiding behind that and the country is not acting officially but giving aid and comfort as Pakistan is by letting them hide in their country, what is the diplomatic situation then. Islam, in my opinion does not understand this only that their objective as the article says is to bring all the whole world under Islam and their unique government, secular?????

Re: Islam today

On a secular basis, if Islam is upset at America because it believes it is the originator of pornography, is death the appropriate option for the offense. I don&#39;t believe Obama understands, that Islam or Islamic countries where their religion and government are intertwined, believe death is appropriate for the creation of pornography or othe western ills or at least as a guise, to the end of &#34;conquering&#34; the world for Islam.  Obama, I&#39;m not convinced see this subtle distinction and the vacillation of Islamic countries between secular and religionist governments.

Re: Islam today

Once upon a time, just after the beginning.... <BR>according to the story told by the people who claim they were their Gods favorite people, this creator- God became so unhappy that He had created people who had gone bad that He decided to kill them all &#40;except for one guy and his family and millions of species of animals, including sloths from South America, for almost a year locked up in a nautically impossible giant wooden boat, with no fresh water and nothing to eat, with methane contaminated air so bad the dinos all died off, and later had to be buried under the iriduum layer&#41; <BR> <BR>After the water goes down &#40;despite all the evidence that over the last 20kys, thanx to Gore-induced earth warming,  glaciers have melted and the waters have come up, flooding the Garden of Eden at the head of the Persian Gulf where 4 rivers used to converge&#41;, god&#39;s favorite people kill and sacrifice some of the scarce animals they tried to save from the flood. <BR> <BR>We&#39;re not sure how much later, depending on how fast the Baumgardner subduction of continents had progressed, some land dries out and becomes desert where God&#39;s chosen pariarch, Olde Abe, is forced by his sister/wife #1 to send out into the desert his real first born son, because that son&#39;s mother was a slave girl..an Arab!!! wife #2, or #13, or who knows.... <BR> <BR>but either way, this product of Abe&#39;s seed incubated by a slave Arab, acccording to Hebrew Law, shouldn&#39;t receive the birthright, the land, and all the goats as inheritance because wife/sister #1 claimed preferential treatment for her son. <BR> <BR>And that&#39;s when all the problems began anew. <BR> <BR>Later, after Abe claims to have been divinely told to leave a well watered land next to a huge river, &#40;Harran, Turkey&#41;,  because of a drought which Abe&#39;s God either did not prevent or preview, Abe&#39;s grandkids themselves are forced to abandon their desert hills and go make bricks in slavery in Egypt.   <BR> <BR>But later, according to their family history, their God majestically massacres Egypts firstborn kids and pets to help them escape during 40 years lost in the desert leaving no evidence behind. <BR> <BR>Then this same loving God of the Hebrews commands them to return to the drought stricken land beset by warlike peoples on all sides, and there kill all their former Caananite  neighbors, the people who had stayed in the Holy Land during the drought from which the Hebrew ancestors had left. <BR> <BR>According to the Hebrew Autobiography, these returnees claim that their God commanded them to take their neighbors land and virgins to use.  And kill and dispossess without mercy those people whose ancestor had enjoyed a <b>Lot</b> of drunken, illicit fun with his daughters in a cave. <BR> <BR>Natch, the few locals who survive this allegedly divinely commanded holocaust, learn to hate the  Hebrews, and substitute their own prophet around 600 years after the hebrews reject their own Messiah.   <BR> <BR>And since there is nothing else to do in the desert but spreading seeds in multiple incubators, these survivors become strong and numerous and blessed of God who bestows billions of barrels of oil on and under them. <BR> <BR>They develop a new name for God &#40;Allah&#41;,  who commands them to take over the world with U$ petrodollar$, mistreat women, get the bomb, fly 757s into buildings, and, at their God Allah&#39;s command, try to kill off the Hebrews and their God who started it all, as well as the Amerikans who support the the Hebrews and their God. <BR> <BR>as well as use Kalasnikovs to purify the world of sin, such as premarital sex . <BR> <BR>Is this why we fight? <BR> <BR>will this earth story ever end with... <BR>&#34;and they lived happily ever after&#34; <BR> <BR>or are we in for even worse to come? <BR> <BR>from the India Times online: <BR> <BR> Taliban execute man, woman for &#39;illicit relations&#39; in Pak <BR>17 Apr 2009, 2309 hrs IST, PTI  <BR>  <BR>   <BR>ISLAMABAD:  <BR><font color="0000ff">Taliban militants executed a man and a woman in public on charges of having illicit relations, shooting them with a Kalashnikov in front  of their relatives, in Hangu district of troubled northwest Pakistan.  <BR> <BR>The shocking footage of the shooting incident which took place a few days back near the border of Orakzai Agency was on Friday made available to Pakistani media, the Dawn News channel reported.  <BR> <BR>The footage, made available to Dawn, shows the Taliban shooting the man, aged around 40 and a woman, who is about 45 years, in an open space in the presence of their relatives and a large crowd.  <BR> <BR>The woman is heard appealing to the Taliban, &#34;Have mercy on me, please have mercy; the charges against me are false and no man has ever touched me&#34;.  <BR> <BR>The militants first shoot the woman by firing two bullets in her chest and later open a burst of Kalashnikov fire at both the woman and the man. But the woman is still seen breathing, and the Taliban start yelling that she is alive and issuing orders to &#34;kill her, kill her&#34;.  <BR> <BR>Sources told the channel that the Taliban had asked the relatives of the woman and the man to present the two before them for questioning at a specified place. The relatives brought both of them to the Taliban, who killed them in cold blood. </font>
