Iranian woman facing death by stoning: "Many nights, before sleeping, I think to myself how can anybody be prepared to throw stones at me; to aim at my face and hands? Why?"

The answer is, simply: Muhammad. Per Qur'an 33:21, he is the supreme example of conduct for Muslims. Muhammad's involvement in stonings is recorded in Sunni ahadith, and the tradition has clearly survived among Shi'ites as well. It doesn't matter that stoning doesn't appear in the Qur'an, because the notion of Islam as a sola scriptura faith is a far-fetched tool of apologists to make the Qur'an appear uncreated, and less dependent on the time and place in which it appeared. But the Qur'an-only movement is actually a minority view at variance with the prominent sects of Islam.

And then there's this:

'Umar said, "I am afraid that after a long time has passed, people may say, "We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death) in the Holy Book," and consequently they may go astray by leaving an obligation that Allah has revealed. Lo! I confirm that the penalty of Rajam be inflicted on him who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if he is already married and the crime is proved by witnesses or pregnancy or confession." Sufyan added, "I have memorized this narration in this way." 'Umar added, "Surely Allah's Apostle carried out the penalty of Rajam, and so did we after him" (Sahih Bukhari 8.82.816).

So the answer, again, is: Muhammad. "Iranian woman facing stoning: 'I'm afraid of dying'," from CNN, July 30:

London, England (CNN) -- In a room thousands of miles from her prison cell in northeastern Iran, the fear that has gripped Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani for years was clear and almost palpable.
"The day I was given the stoning sentence, it was as if I fell into a deep hole and I lost consciousness," said a human rights advocate, reading aloud from a letter attributed to Ashtiani. "Many nights, before sleeping, I think to myself how can anybody be prepared to throw stones at me; to aim at my face and hands? Why?"

And we're told Islam "elevates" women -- except usually, in Iran, that's done with a noose and a crane. And Ashtiani may yet face that fate instead of stoning.

Ashtiani, a 43-year-old mother of two, was set to be stoned to death for allegedly committing adultery in Iran. Members of the International Committee Against Executions, who have launched a public campaign for her freedom, held a news conference Friday to share a letter they said was from Ashtiani, who is being held in a Tabriz prison, and court documents from her case.
"I thank all of you from Tabriz prison," the letter said. Referring to advocate Mina Ahadi, Ashtiani wrote, "Mrs. Ahadi, tell everyone that I'm afraid of dying. Help me stay alive and hug my children."...

Why? It's Islam, stupid.

Lies and lies and lies...because Muhammad was a LIAR.

"Thou shalt not kill."

"He who is without sin cast the first stone."

Never mind...

Mohammad was no example of sexual chastity or marital fidelity. Yet women must be strictly regulated as captive property of the Islamic plunderers.
The swashbuckling days may be over, but the pirate mentality lives on.

Iranian woman facing death by stoning: "Many nights, before sleeping, I think to myself how can anybody be prepared to throw stones at me; to aim at my face and hands? Why?"

"The answer is, simply: Muhammad."

And the answer is, on a more complex level: the same Muhammad whom you, Sakineh, continue to worship and enable.

Now, why would a person continue to worship and enable the very same monster who is, in the form of his fanatical followers, about to stone her to death?

The question becomes more acute, if not stranger: Why would that person -- who continues to worship and enable the very same monster who is, in the form of his fanatical followers, about to stone her to death -- remain oblivious to the direct connection between the monster she adores, and the monsters who seek to kill her?

For someone who is all knowing, all merciful, Allah certainly is a sadistic dumb shit, demanding death by stoning rather than offering forgiveness in exchange for true repentance. For those who like to bitch about Christians we definitely have a better system. It's curious too that Muslim women don't seem to get the memo unless it's their head on the chopping block, their body in the stoning hole.

As part of the process of moving over the past few weeks I've held some garage sales to get rid of stuff I don't need and to help my son to make some money to get his van fixed. There is an interesting psychology behind selling things at a garage sale. There are those who want to make a deal, those who go to garage sales as a sort of recreational therapy, those who support their lifestyles by buying other people's junk at really cheap prices and then there are those who want you to feel pain in order for them to feel like they got a good deal. I noticed that in most cases the average native American (not all, but most) will try and talk you down for something they want but will be pretty amiable if you hold firm. The Hispanic folks that don't speak much English are very pleasant but looking to get bottom dollar for an item. If you tell them it's a dollar they'll ask to pay $.50. If you tell them it's $.50 they'll ask to only pay $.25. You can kid around with them and usually end up somewhere in the middle. But with the Muslim chicks, it's a whole different ballgame.

I had a 60 year old or so Muslim woman show up a couple of weeks ago in her hijab who saw a crystal box I had on a table as she was leaving. Some business associate gave this to me and I'm not a knick knack person so I was motivated to get rid of it and make some room. When she asked how much it was I thought, I don't care about this so I'll sell it cheap and I told her it was $1. When she made a cutting motion with her hand and said $.50? I said, how about $2. I wish you could have seen the look she gave me, as if I had thrown some dog doo in her face. It was kind of funny but also kind of disturbing because I understood only too well that she felt herself superior to me and that I should grovel and sell her that box for nothing. (Sorry, I never got the groveling memo growing up.)

Today I had a woman with an accent come up to me and ask how much these six small old porcelain dishes were. At one time they had been rimmed with gold but they were pretty ancient, maybe 50-60 years old. I told her $.25 each and she said, 25 cents for all of them. I told her no and she proceeded to try and shake me down for some other items for 25 cents. I told her 25 cents apiece for the first two items and then she brought in a third and I told her she could have all three for 50 cents because while I didn't tell her this, I didn't care about that stuff. Then she goes back to trying to get me to give her all the dishes for 25 cents and I thought to myself, cold day in hell lady. She said, I don't know what I'll use these for and I thought to myself, well I didn't ask you to buy them. I then asked her where she was from and she told me to guess and I said I knew where she was from and she asked me to guess again and I said Iran. And she looked at me and said, how did you know that? I said, I just knew. Then we continued on with the dickering and I said to her, do you want me to pay you to take these out of here and then she got her dander up and asked me if I was insulting her. Well, I know this Muslim game only too well so I said, no, are you insulting me? And she said no and then said goodbye.

What was very interesting about these two exchanges was the attitude of these women in both cases. Both of them wanted something I had that I didn't care about but when they both popped their superiority complex attitudes we went into a war of the wills and there was no way in blue blazes that I was going to let them win. And there was no way they were going to buy the items at the ridiculously low prices I quoted them. They had to go lower and it had to hurt me in order for them to be satisfied. Luckily we aren't living under Sharia law and I can do whatever I like but some people are not so lucky.

Last night my ACT! for America chapter hosted some Coptic Christians who gave a couple of presentations on Sharia and Muslim culture over in Egypt. One of the speakers told us about paying the jizya and how you can't just hand the money over to the Muslim overlords but that you have to bow your head and be slapped upside the head and how you must be humiliated when you pay that poll tax. Fast forward to this morning and I realize I was engaged in psychological warfare.

I will forever remember the looks in the eyes of those two Muslim women when I told them no and when I fight to the death, for freedom and against Islam, it's those two looks that I will keep in front of me. They definitely spur me on.

"I realize I was engaged in psychological warfare. "

This really is the key to this site. You people really believe this. Life is a great adventure when haggling with some cheap housewife about old dishware = waging ideological war for the survival of your nation and culture.

How can one read this, and sit still?

And what do you think about the woman facing the horror of stoning under Islamic law? Is that a trivial matter to you, as well?

"And what do you think about the woman facing the horror of stoning under Islamic law? Is that a trivial matter to you, as well?"

No. No it is not.

Then Yusef, why do you continue to support that sadistic sex monster Mohammad and his horrid 7th barbarity, Islam?

That's what they call a loaded question. I'm not here to play games with you. Please be civil.

jewcat,
YK has said before he thinks islam is a beautiful life.
Ahhh the beauty of a good stoning! The terror in her eyes, the agony as she slowly dies, and the blood, not to mention it's great family entertainment! Who gets to throw the first stone? Ice cream later kids?
He also says he's from multiple different places, "a muslim country", and the US most recently.

It's a very straight forward question, Yusef. Why do you continue to support Islam? What are your reasons? Or are you suggesting that you no longer support Mohammad and his system? It's a perfectly civil, respectful question. I'm sure I"m not the only one who would be interested in your reasons.

Oh. Did I say I'm from the USA? No.

NOw who's playing games? Please answer my civil, polite question: Knowing what you do about Mohammad and his system, why do you -- as a rational human being -- continue to support this?

Yusef, why not just admit you're not prepared to answer such questions, and then move on to some other site, or something?

You think for a second we haven't dealt with "you" hundreds of times before?

You don't fool anyone here, and frankly, you haven't added a single thing to any conversation, except to prove us correct about your ilk by the demonstration of your *intellectual* and moral inadequacies.

Stop pretending to be a *modern* person and just wander on back to your tent, please.

Something I have yet to hear.

This woman did NOT commit adultery all by herself.

In fact, under the common definition of adultery, it's impossible for her to do so.

Where is her accused partner in crime? Why is HE not sentenced as well?

That's what they call a loaded question....

Yosef. You never answer your nabi. ZK will not be pleased with this and you may suffer a humiliating fate in this world and much worse in the next, etc. etc.. And ZK knows best.

Let's rephrase a bit. Given that mohamet (pig poo poo be upon him) ordered women to be stoned in this manner, do you agree still that he was such a great guy? Or are you somewhat turned off by such an impulse to murder?

Your nabi does not ask if you still beat your wife. Your nabi asks if you agree with the behavior of mohamet and his cohorts in stoning women to death. Your nabi notes that you said that you do not support the stoning on Ms. Sakina. If it was mohamet (ppbum) who ordered this would you change your mind? Would you pick up a stone yourself?

Just asking.

nabi ZK (pbum) ...total nabi to mohametan trolls...accept no substitutes...founder of the international correspondence school of nabiwat...be a total nabi in only 3 weeks or your money back! ...

nabi ZK (pbum)

Oh Yusef, you cute little jihadi you. Lie yourself silly but don't change the subject; I won't let you. You are never so proud of that part of society that you treat like absolute dog crap, (your women,) as when they are trying to pull a fast one on a "stupid" kafir. But your little Muslima didn't get away with anything. She didn't get the items she wanted. She didn't get to sell her victimhood claim with the "Are you insulting me?" nonsense because I nipped it in the bud and did not take the bait. In fact I slammed it right back at her and she couldn't take it. And in the end there was no submission, just a pissed off Muslima who slithered back from whence she came. All in all, not a bad day.

Folks, Yusef thinks we're stupid. Too bad in his arrogance he doesn't know we're on to him. ; )

Everyone must see "The Stoning of Soroya M". It is a very powerful movie based on a true story. You may like it Yusef. Especially the scene where Soroyas young son throws the stones. It is a touching testimony to the glory of mohamets (ppbum) legal system and the beautiful family oriented mohametan culture.

Or possibly you will be disgusted. Your nabi can not predict at the moment because Jibril is on holiday right now and unable for consultations.

nabi ZK (pbum)

Very grim—and very true, Marisol.

ZK, I agree with you about "The Stoning of Soroya M". It is not a perfect film—it is a bit clunky in places, and unfortunately rather lets Islam itself off the hook.

But my criticisms of the piece are generally minor—over all it is a brave and important movie, and shows close to the full horror of stoning.

Everyone *should* see it. Like confronting so many of the horrors of Islam, though, it is not for the faint of heart.

I read a little while ago on Yahoo that Brazil is offering this woman asylum.

ZK, (PBUY)

After careful study here at the IITS (International Institute for Troll Studies),
our staff-researchers have concluded that Yusef
is in the "Punxsutawney Phil" category of troll. He pops-up out of his hole and hurls insults, but as soon as he sees the shadows of approaching reason or question he zips back into his cave. 6 more weeks of islam for him!

BTW, shouldn't Jibril have an answering service or emergency cell-number or something?

Isabella, take it from someone who's lived a long time in the Far East. If your stuff isn't marked, and hijabis (the tribe that wears the hijab) comes along, initially demand about 3-5 times the amount you're willing to settle on for the stuff. Tell them that your $0.50 knicknack is worth $2.00 to you, and you'll probably get $0.75-$1.00 for it.

I don't claim to be the expert on haggling (my wife, who is a native of Taiwan, claims that honor). But I got to the point where I could save a few baht on taxi fare in Bangkok back before they installed meters; and got slightly less than "foreigner" prices in a fruit market in Taiwan.

MUHAMMAD REPEATEDLY ORDERED STONING:

In the most canonical hadith collection, Sahih Bukhari:

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 805: Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah Al-Ansari: A man from the tribe of Bani Aslam came to Allah's Apostle and Informed him that he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and bore witness four times against himself. Allah's Apostle [Muhammad] ordered him to be stoned to death as he was a married Person.

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 809:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
A Jew and a Jewess were brought to Allah's Apostle on a charge of committing an illegal sexual intercourse. The Prophet asked them. "What is the legal punishment (for this sin) in your Book (Torah)?" They replied, "Our priests have innovated the punishment of blackening the faces with charcoal and Tajbiya." 'Abdullah bin Salam said, "O Allah's Apostle, tell them to bring the Torah." The Torah was brought, and then one of the Jews put his hand over the Divine Verse of the Rajam (stoning to death) and started reading what preceded and what followed it. On that, Ibn Salam said to the Jew, "Lift up your hand." Behold! The Divine Verse of the Rajam was under his hand. So Allah's Apostle [Muhammad] ordered that the two (sinners) be stoned to death, and so they were stoned. Ibn 'Umar added: So both of them were stoned at the Balat and I saw the Jew sheltering the Jewess.

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 813:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
When Ma'iz bin Malik came to the Prophet (in order to confess), the Prophet said to him, "Probably you have only kissed (the lady), or winked, or looked at her?" He said, "No, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said, using no euphemism, "Did you have sexual intercourse with her?" The narrator added: At that, (i.e. after his confession) the Prophet [Muhammad] ordered that he be stoned (to death).

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 815:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:
While we were with the Prophet [Muhammad], a man stood up and said (to the Prophet), "I beseech you by Allah, that you should judge us according to Allah's Laws." Then the man's opponent who was wiser than him, got up saying (to Allah's Apostle) "Judge us according to Allah's Law and kindly allow me (to speak)." The Prophet said, "'Speak." He said, "My son was a laborer working for this man and he committed an illegal sexual intercourse with his wife, and I gave one-hundred sheep and a slave as a ransom for my son's sin. Then I asked a learned man about this case and he informed me that my son should receive one hundred lashes and be exiled for one year, and the man's wife should be stoned to death." The Prophet [Muhammad] said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge you according to the Laws of Allah. Your one-hundred sheep and the slave are to be returned to you, and your son has to receive one-hundred lashes and be exiled for one year. O Unais! Go to the wife of this man, and if she confesses, then stone her to death." Unais went to her and she confessed. He then stoned her to death.

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 817:
[excerpt from long hadith]...Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth and revealed the Holy Book to him, and among what Allah revealed, was the Verse of the Rajam (the stoning of married person (male & female) who commits illegal sexual intercourse, and we did recite this Verse and understood and memorized it. Allah's Apostle [Muhammad] did carry out the punishment of stoning and so did we after him. I am afraid that after a long time has passed, somebody will say, 'By Allah, we do not find the Verse of the Rajam in Allah's Book,' and thus they will go astray by leaving an obligation which Allah has revealed. And the punishment of the Rajam is to be inflicted to any married person (male & female), who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if the required evidence is available or there is conception or confession...

In the Qur'an "Allah" says repeatedly that Muhammad is to be obeyed. That is one reason why the vast majority of Muslims scholars accept the Bukhari hadiths and a few other hadith collections as authoritative for Muslims: canonical hadiths show what Muhammad did and said, permitted and forbade.

I list in this post 25 instances of Quran verses (all of them linked to several online Qurans) ordering Muslims to obey Muhammad.

"After careful study here at the IITS (International Institute for Troll Studies)"

George, you crack me up. So, can this be a major in college, and if so, what type of degree do you get?

Thanks Kepha. We actually made almost $1200 selling junk over a four week period and I found it was more effective and less time consuming not to mark things with the understanding that we were clearing things out. There were a few things that I decided to sell if I got my price and that if I couldn't I'd keep them. It was a principle sort of thing. But anyone who wanted to act stupid was not going to be taken seriously. What was so interesting about the Muslima today was that I think she actually thought that if she could talk fast enough I might go for it. But she rubbed me the wrong way right off the bat and I couldn't stop thinking about a story one of the Coptic Christians used to illustrate his point yesterday which just reminded me how out to lunch most Muslms are when it comes to thinking logically and what a skewed view of reality they have. Apparently there was a Muslim doctor who went to school in the U.S. who wanted to move some place where he could practice pure Islam so he moved to Mecca. He put his son in some sort of boarding school there and after two years the son told him that the principal of the school had been raping him on a regular basis. The dad was furious and decided to sue the principal in court. The doctor's friends advised against this. They pleaded, offered money and tried to no avail to convince this guy not to sue the principal but he insisted. Long story short, the court based their decision on the Quranic verse that says there needs to be 4 witnesses to prove adultery otherwise the accuser is punished. The principal got off scot-free and the doctor whose son was raped, was sentenced to 80 lashes because he couldn't produce four witnesses. That kind of thinking skews a Muslims basic grasp on reality. Perhaps that's why that chick today thought she could do what she wanted and that I had to go along with it. LOL! It is amusing (if not disturbing) though, to tell a Muslim no and watch them go beserk. There is an Achilles Heel in there, somewhere.

BTW, is it just me or does Yusef remind anyone else of Abdullah Mike?

In a recent speach directed to the Muslim world at large, President Obama stated the following:


"I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America ‘s story. The first nation to recognize my country was Morocco . In signing the Treaty of Tripoli in 1796, our second President John Adams wrote, “The United States has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Muslims.” And since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States."


President Obama apparently takes for granted the actual historical facts behind this statement.

Investigate the following link for an enlightening treatment of what really happened:

"Please be civil," he writes.

Jihadis throw rocks at women and girls and kill them. Civil? I'm about civil enough to forgo the box of salt, but the wooden arm chair, the duct tape, and the rusty spoon stay till the screaming stops.

Civil? I might forgo the rusty spoon in favour of fingernails and teeth.

If Satan offered her asylum, she'd probably discover that Hell is a better place than Iran. Of course, the useless YusefYK thinks Iran is the model for the world, and the best way to keep our societies free is to boot out savages like Yusef, who wish to see Western women stoned to death on trumped-up charges of adultery.

Spirit Of 1683,

Why would you call the victim "stupid"?

Well done Isabella! Nothing like defying them in their face. I would have loved to do that myself...

First, a classic denunciation of Islam from a fiery Irishman, Conor Cruise O'Brien (1917-2008):

In an article entitled 'The Sick Man of the World' (the 'sick man' being Islam/ the Ummah), published in The Times, London, 11 May 1989, Mr O'Brien wrote:

"Muslim society looks profoundly repulsive...

"It looks profoundly repulsive because it *is* repulsive...

"A westerner who claims to admire Muslim society, whilst still adhering to Western values, is either a hypocrite or an ignoramus or a bit of both.

"At the heart of the matter is the Muslim family, an abominable institution...

"In the last century the Arab thinker Jamal al-Afghani wrote: ‘Every Muslim is sick and his only remedy is in the Koran.’ Unfortunately the sickness gets worse the more the remedy is taken." END QUOTE.

And as an example of the sheer repulsiveness of Islam, and the sadistic violence that is permitted to be unloosed, upon women, in order to sustain the system of violence, invented by psychopaths *for* psychopaths, that is the sharia 'family' and the sharia 'state', here, for those who like myself have difficulty watching real or fictional images of horror, but can endure a written description, is an eyewitness account of the stoning to death of a Muslim woman, that was carried out some years ago, in northern Nigeria:

It was found and shared here on jihadwatch by a poster called 'Caroline', in 2006. The link she used is no longer working; but I kept a full copy of the text, at the time.

An eyewitness account of a stoning:
http://www.liddyshow.us/liddyfile35.php

"Dear readers, please put on your thinking cap and imagine a mental picture of the following story.

"A deep hole is dug in the ground. A 30 year old lady, tied up from feet to shoulders, as a stick, is lowered alive into this hole, in a standing position. Only her neck and head are visible. Can you imagine a human head sticking above ground?

"When the order is given, a man throws a fist-sized stone at her protruding head. The stone hits her head with a thud. She screems [sic] in pain as the blood oozes down her face.

"Another man picks up a stone and scraps the side of her head drawing a lateral line of blood. She cries and screems [sic] in excruciating pain.

"Since it is a free for all, a teenage spectator from this open playing field, tries his luck, but misses her head completely.

"Another aims at her and flings it with force. The stone hits its intended target, her forehead.

"She screems and cries loudly for mercy. There is now a gash on her forehead. Blood spurting out, down her eyes, nose, cheeks, mouth and down to the ground.

"She cries out for mercy but to not avail. The minutes become an hour, between the many misses, scraps [scrapes], nicks, chips and strikes.

"Another spectator flings forcefully at her.'

"The stone hits the bridge of her nose with another thud. She screems again and again.

"This time the blood comes down from inside and outside her nose. Probably, her nasal bridge-bone is broken, causing the bleeding from inside her nostrils as well.

"Though her wounds are grave, as you can imagine, her screems by now are not as vociferous as earlier, and her tears help to wash some of the blood on her cheeks.

"Her vision has completely gone with the blood coating.

"The next stone hits her again.

"A piece of flesh pops out. No, its not, oh god, it really can't be her eye-ball. It is so bloody that you cann't really make out.

"By this time, blood has covered her entire face and the ground in front of her.

"She still makes groaning sounds. More time pass[es.

"Stoning her, continues. Her sounds are less and less audible.

"Her face has become unrecognisable. Flesh, like mashed meat is her face, but only more bloody, as she now literally has no human face.

"Small strips of flesh, like locks of hair are hanging from her. Her head is now droopping forward.

"At this stage a hit on her make splashes of blood.

"She has stopped making a sound for the last two stone pelting.

"Two hours have passed. The Islamic authorities check her neck for pulse.

"It is still beating but barely, due to the loss of blood. A flesh piece drops off her head, as the stoning process continues.

"Finally,death comes to this lady.

"She is then left there for a few more hours for the spectators to see, because this is a public lesson for all muslim females, who commit adultery. {Or, as it may happen, and happens, are gang-raped, like the poor little 13 year old in Somalia, or are 'framed' for adultery, etc. etc. etc...sentenced to a ghastly death, by the sadistic, the malicious, the Court of Capital Gossip...dda}

"Then her father and relatives are allowed to dig her body, and bring it above ground.

"Pieces of her flesh, lying on the ground, is collected and because she has no face, it is put back on the front of her head, and bundled up.

"Now readers, imagine that is your mother, or your daughter, or sister, or even you, yourself.

"DNA is not accepted in Islam, but at least 4 witnesses of reputable character, should give testimony of the actual penetration of the sexual intercourse to convict him.

"You might ask, who has sexual intercourse in front of 4 witnesses?

"I can also ask you "how can you consider 4 men watching others' sexual intercourse, as reputable characters?"

"But, there is no question or denying that this is not a traditonal, customary, cultural or a kangaroo court, but a legal Islamic court, with legal Islamic judges and legal expert Islamic officials, in the muslim state of Bakori ( Nigeria), of the legal Government, democratically elected by the Muslim citizens of this state.

"These are the undeniable authentic facts, which no amount of words or actions can ever repudiate.

"Hear the deafening silence of the 1 billion muslims worldwide, who are in a vigorous fit of inactivity, calmly pretending not to know.

"But, the balance 5/6th of the world, (1.5 billion Christians, 1.1 billion Taoists, 1 billion Hindus, 700 million Bhuddists and others) can do something to stop this barbarism of the middle-east."

'This is JUSTICE, by order of that so-called "perfect" man and "perfect" human being, the so-called prophet Muhammad."

- Posted by: Caroline at July 6, 2006 7:34 PM.


Its an expression aimed at those who can't see the obvious. Remember Bill Clintion saying "It's the economy, stupid"?

And if she can't, or refuses to see that the problem is Islam, then she must be stupid, and the same goes for everyone else who does likewise.

Then Yusef, why do you continue to support that sadistic sex monster Mohammad and his horrid 7th barbarity, Islam?

Because thats the way he is. He's a satanic and misogynistic barbarian.

"But, the balance 5/6th of the world, (1.5 billion Christians, 1.1 billion Taoists, 1 billion Hindus, 700 million Bhuddists and others) can do something to stop this barbarism of the middle-east."

They could but thy won't. Political correctness, fear of being slandered as a racist and a bigot for criticising Islam, or simply fear of being intimidated leave the other five sixths of the world cowering like the simpering cowards that far too many of the infidels are.

With respect, Spirit of 1683, to me the gross inaction and ignorance of the followers of the world's other faiths seems to come from a great lack of purpose and unity.

Nature abhors a vacuum and if we simply want to get rid of Islam, what is then supposed to fill the vacuum, if we succeed?

Again with respect, I feel that people who realise how bad Islam is, should endeavour to find it's preferred alternative in such a way that it can be used to unite at least 51 % of the people of: The Democratic world, then the Islamic world, then the rest of the world, or 2 and 3 in reverse order.

To me a common denominator for what anti-Islam people can be for in unity with great numbers, is Democracy and its 5 pillars; fair elections, constitutional state, separation of state and mosque, autonomy for the individual, freedom of speech. This also will give science free reign and science can help mankind progress enormously. So this too is something we can be for. I think Islam stifles science and Democracy cherishes and stimulates it.

Stoning is death by multiple hits from stones of various sizes hitting the upper torso and head of the body while the victim is buried helplessly from the waist down.

I propose this hypothetical question... Which would a person prefer, to be stoned to death by a tribe of Mohammad worshipers or to receive death by a sharp blow to the head and be thrown into a pot of boiling water by a tribe of cannibals. Fortunately, all cannibals have been eliminated but unfortunely for this poor women, all Mohammad worshipers have not.

I see your valid point and it has vexed me too immeasurably, especially when I see the many Muslima's in Holland, easily recognizable as they are with their headscarves.

My thought-experiment is not about what they think, follow and do too much but about what they think, follow, do too little. Because of this huge Islamic obstacle.

What they think, follow, do too little is to consider, adhere to, act in accordance with, the ideas of enlightenment-democracy.

I think Kilian Klaiber in the thread of Al-Awlaki, it was I think, was right about one thing; It is very hard to hold each and every Muslim accountable for him/ her being Muslim(a). Especially in Islamic countries. What with social pressure and death-penalty for apostasy.

And, if a person is not accountable for being Muslim, it is as futile to blame that person as it is to blame an animal, lunatic or child.

That lack of responsibility, lack of possibility of holding Muslims accountable may be your weak spot, Hesperado. It may earn you unfavorable qualifications by the Political-Correct people, which you can avoid. Because the Political-Correct people en masse do not seem to hold Muslims accountable for their choices. Even if they are aware, or should be by now, of Islam's teachings. Or at least those in some popular versions of it.

So that's why I, only theoretically I concede, would want us to look to something that we definitely can hold Muslims accountable for. By the way regarding them as sane adult HUMANS, who CAN choose.

And that would be about asking them to choose for or against our basic democratic principles AND complete reciprocity between Democratic and Islamic countries in treatment or religious minorities and apostasy. Even if parts of that flatly contradict Islamic laws, values and interests.

For starters.

Would you support banning Sharia law in the US and Europe?

(I'll bet a used set of dishes that he will not give a simple yes/no answer)

When I first embraced Islam I was shocked at how severe some of the punishments were for certain sins or crimes under Islamic law. I still cringe, 20 years later, when my vivid imagination produces the mental images of the applications of these punishments. However, now I see a bit more of the picture

First, the punishment is meant to be a cautionary display for the people who observe it. The family is the nucleus of the society. Without enforcement of the Law you depend wholly upon the whims of the people to follow, or to not follow the law. This particular act however, of flouting the sacrament of marriage, is sabotage from within against the entire society.

Second, the punishment itself is indeed a disturbing thing to contemplate, let alone to watch or participate in. Once again, we need to look at it from the inside:


traeh posted above two of the larger group of ahadith which narrate the case of the stoning of Ma'iz bin Malik. The first point of note is that Ma'iz went to the Prophet(S) KNOWING what the punishment was, and asked for the punishment. Which brings us to the next point, here one needs the ability to comprehend the Arabic language, because this point is literally lost in the translation into English.

Ma'iz did not say in the Arabic equivalent "stone me" or "please put me to death" what he said was the Arabic equivalent of "purify me". Islam teaches that when one is punished for a sin in THIS life that they will not be punished for it again in the Hereafter and most Muslims would rather the short punishment afforded them now to the more severe and enduring punishment in the next life.

Next, the Prophet(S) tried to avoid Ma'iz in his attempts to confess. When, after 4 repetitions of his confession, equivalent to the otherwise 4 required witnesses, Muhammad(S) offered Ma'iz several ways out of the punishment and even went so far as to question the family of Ma'iz to determine if Ma'iz was ill or suffering from insanity to which the family responded that Ma'iz was sane and healthy and that the reasons for his confession was that he wanted the certainty of Allah's forgiveness for his sin by subjecting himself to the punishment of his own accord. After Ma'iz was dead the Prophet was heard to say that the penitence of Ma'iz's confession was so much that it would suffice for the forgiveness of a large group of people.

In another case, this one involving a woman who confessed to committing adultery, Muhammad(S) first tells her to leave and come back when she has given birth to the child she was carrying. She wasn't imprisoned, or kept under guard, nothing to prevent her from skipping town but she stayed and gave birth anyway. When she went back to Muhammad(S)showing him the newborn infant, Muhammad(S)sent her away again telling her to come back TWO YEARS LATER, the length of suckling in Islam. When the woman returned with her child letting everyone see that the child was chewing and eating a piece of bread, this and the assurance from one of his Companions that he would foster the child, only then did the Prophet(S)give the order for her execution. After the woman's death, someone mocked her for giving herself over to be killed to which the Prophet(S) said that she was already swimming in the rivers of Paradise.

Finally, near the end of his life, Muhammad(S) gathered his people and advised them that if the committed a sin for which there was a punishment and which they were not "caught in the act" for that it would be better for them to repent in secret to Allah and follow the bad deed with good deeds, but he also stated that anyone who made a public confession would receive the prescribed punishment.

No matter how people may decry these punishments under the rule of Islam, every person who is capable of looking themselves in the eye unflinchingly knows the justice of capital punishment for adultery as anyone who has ever been the victim of marital infidelity can attest. We all know in our hearts that this act is horrible. One wonders how many faithful husbands now sit in American prisons due to their assault or murder of an unfaithful wife? Even though most Westerners are so out of touch with the natural order of things that they would deny the very thought of violence against a cheating spouse, anyone who has been infidelity's victim knows that death in some form FEELS like justice in this circumstance.


Allah Bless America!!!



All your attempts at white washing your faith and attempting to attach goodness to your murderous "prophet" is of no use. Your "prophet" had people stoned to death. End of story. You should be ashamed of following such a notorious man. Obviously you have been brainwashed enough to have lost your humanity. Thus you talk of stoning people as a "cautionary tale for those who observe it". Shame on you.
Compare this behavior of your "prophet" with Christ who said "Let him be the first to throw a stone who has done no wrong".
What about your own "prophet"'s adulterous behavior (for you can call it nothing else) with his own adopted daughter in law, with the salve girl Mary the copt and others. Again, I will recall to you christ's words - "he who has looked at one not his spouse in a manner that he would look at his spouse has already committed adultery in his heart."
islam is the fruit of a poisonous tree. It will never teach teach you to be a better human being.

Dank, here too you adhere to a religion/ totalitarian ideology in regards to a law that is in contradiction with the law of the land you live in (I suppose you live in a democratic country, maybe even Holland, because Dank in Dutch means Thanks). In no democratic country adultery is punishable by law. It's painful that so many citizens of Democratic countries (the Muslims) adhere to laws so unlike and contradicting the law of the land they say they are loyal citizen of, they say they won't leave.

Muslims, according to you, seem to rely on the afterlife and atonement. Well, an individual may punish her/himself but society may not punish a person who does not believe in those concepts.

And of course in Islamic countries there is such widespread double standards in practicing this law, that punishing only a caught woman now and then does not serve much purpose. Take Iran, we heard that the revolutionary guards in the prisons often rape young female or even male prisoners. And some of them will be married but this and so much else men do IS allowed.

Furthermore, I doubt if the character you paint of Muhammad can really be proven with texts. It might just as well be added, made up to sugar your version of Islam. While at the same time your group perhaps happily ignores texts that are not to your liking. You may well be challenged by some ex-Muslim Islam-experts on this some time in future.

Dank isn't ashamed of following Mohammed. Far from it - he's proud of having a rapist, misogynist, thief, vagabond, murderer and serial adulterer as a prophet. A beheader to him is far superior to one who brought the dead back to life and stood up against injustice.

And he says he was 'shocked' at first at the punishments inflicted for certain 'sins' or crimes'. But stonings on trumped-up charges of adultery or execution for being raped no longer shocks him, because to him it is commonplace and thanks to that, he thinks that is exactly what should happen to adulterers and rape victims. And not just Muslim ones. If your wife or daughter gets raped, don't expect any sympathy from Dank, because being an adherent of the cult of evil makes him think your wife or daughter should be brutally murdered and the perpetrators should get off scot free, just like they do in so many Muslim countries. The evil monster behind the Bali atrocity received only 30 months for murdering 202 infidels or a handful of days per victim. That shows how little value the Danks of this world place upon the lives of an infidel, aside from the fact that infidels themselves have cheapened infidel lives in the eyes of Muslims because they're too spineless to retaliate in the way they should, like chargrilling him with a well-placed Hellfire missile. An infidel can expect far more severe punishments for not stepping aside when a Muslim wants to pass, or for daring to ride a horse, or for wearing western dress if you're a woman in Iran, and should an infidel have the effrontery to draw cartoons of Mohammed .......

With respect, Spirit of 1683, to me the gross inaction and ignorance of the followers of the world's other faiths seems to come from a great lack of purpose and unity.

And what exactly has brought about the gross inaction and ignorance of the followers of other faiths, and none, through a lack of purpose and unity? Again, our old bedevilments political correctness, accusations of bigotry and racism at those who dare to criticise Islam, and fear of being killed or maimed by them because we have let too many of them in over the last 50 years.

Isn't it funny how he(Mohamdamnits) will not answer a direct question with a simple answer?

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44

Religion is a choice.

Look who Yusef chose! What else would you expect?

How can anyone calling themselves a human being in any way justify such barbarity as stoning to death and other unspeakable muslim punishments. Muslim men commit adultery as and when it suits them taking 'temporary wives' in other words prostitutes, when away from home, and islam permits them having as many as they want. This is such a vile ideology and is not a religion. Islam is full of hate for anyone who is not a muslim whereas Christianity is love. For more unspeakable acts against the human race by these vile people,see www.anti-mullah.com page down to videos at the bottom left-hand side, but be warned. Where are our governments on this, where is the UN, where is the Church, where are all decent humankind, and above all where are the so-called peace-loving muslims male and female. If we all did something towards exposing this evil cult, as muslims do whenever they don't like things we do and say, we may start the ball rolling in our favour. Time to start marching, protesting, speaking out, shouting from the mountain tops for the sake of these poor unfortunate women being murdered and mutilated by muslim men. This has to stop.

CW,

We're most proud of our BS (Barry Soetoro) degree in Troll Management. Our "Bridge Demolition" course is world-renowned.
Right now, the staff is focused-on the traitorous muslim troll "Dank." On another thread, this loser claimed to have fought in the Gulf War. We're tryng to determine on which side...

Go and live in Saudi Arabia, commit adultery and then face the stoning - and then see how you feel - I bet you would change your vile judgemental world. Are you without sin so that you can cast the first stone? Humble yourself and ask yourselve sincerely that question. There is no-one on this earth who is worthy to cast that first stone and pass judgement on another human being. muslims have no forgiveness and your vile ideology preaches nothing but hate, hate. hate and murder.

Isabel. sad thing is that the two muslim women are now 'praying' for your death to their 'just god'--whereas you, I suspect, only have pity for them. Islam is the religion of hate and death and lies to propagate itself.

I'm praying for this 'Lady from Persia', and all of the people who are fighting for the rights of freedom against this age-old scourge.

......Beware the gathering shadows......

[this is my website: theyellowumbrellabook.com ]

You are missing the most important point. Have you ever wondered why Democracy has been the foundation of so few governments throughout history? There were Greeks, then Romans, both short lived. Now us--hopefully not short lived--but we ain't exactly healthy right now, no?

Democratic rule is rule by the people. So what if the majority of the people have no ethics--no morality? I mean each one, personally, inside themselves. Each self limits greed, lust, power, and instead has the characteristics of love, caring, compassion--in short a 'wanting to do what is right', as opposed to 'me first'. I think you can see from the shape we are in, or tending to go, that these benevolent qualities do not come naturally for the bulk of humanity! They must be taught. "Bring up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it".(Somewhere in the Bible :))
This verse is true. Teach a child good--it's generally followed. Teach a child 'evil'(anything negative is what I mean here)--or teach him nothing at all--same results, for the most part. My mother always said, "If you hang around with bad people, they will pull you down to their level. You will seldom bring them up!"

The point I want to make here is that morality must be taught-at home(!), early on, to produce citizens who can run a democracy!
A Religion is a base for morality. Good-Christan, Jewish,(I'm not familiar enough with others to include them, but you may-if you CHOOSE.) Bad(very bad) Islam.
Or, you can choose no religion--but you still need to use the precepts of the Torah(Old and New :))--because-again, even if you account it no 'divine' status--there are contained therein 'rules' for peaceful, social human life that have been proven true for what, 3000 years?!

So without a majority of people with an inherent moral code, democracy fails. The savage rules.

It might surprise you, but I agree with you there. Even in 1923 H.G. Wells already said there were necessary preconditions necessary for Democracy to function at all. He mentioned good education and independent news-providers. So that people could make a lot of informed choices.

What you mention about morality also sounds good. And about the poor quality compatibility of Islam with Democracy; that seems right to me also.

I am just hoping that progress with literacy, good education and a modicus of good morality will be going on. Going on because we did see progress since 1923 with that already.

Sad to say, Dank, you've drunk the Islamic Kool-Aid big time. There's so much evidence that Mohammed was a brutal psychopath, but even worse than this was his perverted sexual appetite. He lusts for his daughter-in-law Zaynab and ends up getting her. He goes to bed with Mary the Coptic and his wives complain and he gets a highly convenient revelation (he got loads of convenient revelations) from Allah that if the wives keep complaining, he can take new wives.

But worst of all is the whole sorry Aisha affair. No man in his fifties at any time in history should have had sexual intercourse with a nine-year old girl. This alone disqualifies Mohammed from being revered or held in high esteem. I really don't think enough Muslims grasp with what revulsion Mohammed is held in by millions of non-Muslims like myself. He's got fraud, violence and perversion written all over him. What a contrast he is to Jesus. The wonder of it all to me is that more Muslims can't see that Jesus was an almost infinitely superior character to Mohammed. And I write this as one who is not religious in the least.

jewcat asked the Muslim commenter:

"Knowing what you do about Mohammad and his system, why do you -- as a rational human being -- continue to support this?"

This question becomes even more acute when we would pose it to Sakineh, the victim about to be stoned.

Unless Sakineh is a secret apostate, the question reveals the madness, and the depth of the power of brainwashing, in Islam -- and thus reveals why it is far more formidable in both fanaticism and in mass brainwashing than Nazism, Fascism or Communism ever were. In those mass ideologies, victims rarely enabled and outright supported the monster which was victimizing them. In those ideologies, the victims had the sense, and the humanity, to try to escape their respective gulags. Not so Islam. This woman about to be stoned still worships Mohammed, Allah, the Koran, Islam. She is on one important level no less diseased than her stoners.

Demsci,

This isn't about holding all Muslims "accountable". This isn't about "hating" all Muslims.

It's about recognizing the uniquely formidable brainwashing power Islam has over millions of Muslims. From there, what we should learn is that Muslims are uniquely dangerous and that we cannot trust any Muslim who seems secularized and harmless.

We have to protect our own people and stop worrying about the victims of Islam. Grotesque stories like this one should be a rhetorical example of why we do not want any Muslims in our societies, and why we should not spend one dollar on trying to help all the Muslims who are being ground into bloody hamburger by the maw of the same monster they continue to adore and support. This kind of story should not be a moral-emotional goad to mobilize us to try to help masses of Muslims.

Slight clarification to my last post (with clarification in bold):

"We have to protect our own people and stop worrying about the Muslim victims of Islam."

Well let Dank answer the simple questions:

1. Is his Prophet Mohammed a perfect example for all humanity to follow?

2. Does he accept that Mohammed consummated a marriage with a 9 year old, ordered the summary execution of prisoners of war, took his daughter in law to be his wife, enslaved thousands, was awarded a share of loot, and agreed that Muslim men could rape their slaves?

Islam is full of excuses for Muslim men and it appeals to domestic violence abusers. Under Sharia law, only men can testify in "adultery" cases, which includes a woman being raped, a woman needs four witnesses to prove rape (a woman's testimony considered half that of a man's anyway), and the accused is considered guilty until proven innocent. So, women who aren't covered head to toe are considered inciting men, giving them an excuse to rape her or a reason to beat her or accuse her of adultery. It is a "legal" system wherein all responsibility is put on women for the actions of men. It is an abuser's paradise.

"Slight clarification to my last post (with clarification in bold):

"We have to protect our own people and stop worrying about the Muslim victims of Islam."

Agree. Of course you're going to take a lot of flack about that, Hesp, as you always do, but soldier on!

"It (Islam) is a "legal" system wherein all responsibility is put on women for the actions of men. It is an abuser's paradise."

Exactly. The chest-beating misogynist Muzlim males rule.

We can both protect our own people first and foremost AND worry about the victims of Islam secondarily. You don't get this, Hesperado. Telling.

Hesperado, I suppose that in times of extreme danger or even war you should and WILL get your point across with many people. Right now though, there seems to be no sense of any imminent danger among the vast majority of the people of the West and India. Not even Muslim-demographics on YouTube convinced enough people of the Islamic threat.

And if the Muslims are not perceived as cutthroat-possibles and clear aimers and accomplices for supreme power, well then the next best thing in my opinion is to take care that at least they are as best as possible confronted with the consequences of their choices.

But being only for Islam seems in reality not to be seen as a hostile choice of them, not even AS a choice of them.

And under these circumstances ANY laws that discern and discriminate between followers of democratic essences and those of the totalitarian ideology Islam seem for now out of the question in our countries. And we need such laws to stop Islamic immigration and to ban Islamic schools and to stop giving money to Islamic goals, because without them it is still illegal to discriminate against Islam. So for instance, if there are immigrants of other faiths, schools for other faiths, then Islamic ones cannot be stopped!

So, I hope that the next generations of Democracy-defenders find ways to at least hold Muslims accountable for their choices and with the Islamic reactions ways to convince or confound the neutral masses of the possible treason and sedition of Muslims.

Putting a (justified) pricetag on being a Muslim in a democratic society, because of incompatibility of laws and failure to choose for democratic essences (or neutrality) when in conflict with Islamic ones.

Which choice in future must somehow be put before them, but I don't know how exactly.

It's interesting that while Dank whines for those faithful husbands who sit in American prisons for having murdered their "unfaithful" wives, no word on the injustice of capital punishment inflicted on women who are raped and then thrown under the bus by lying Muslim men who wanted to have sex with them and who understand only too well what the ramifications of adultery are.

Dear Dank, you're a fraud. Your holier than thou attitude reveals the true meaning of Islam; the powerful preying on the weak, the lustful planning their attacks so carefully behind the scenes so as to let the victim take the fall, all the while proclaiming Muslim family values and telling the world that the family is everything. You want us to believe that you are noble and good, sacrificing for the good of society, all the while jockeying for position in Mo's Worship-the-Penis-Club. You don't actually believe that your system is for the good of anyone but horny men, do you. Neither do we.

I think in your world fucking is everything but it's a problem for you. You definitely don't make love so spare us the "flouting the sacrament of marriage". (Nice revelation that you used to be a Christian, though. Thanks for sharing.) You have to have women to have sex with but you're afraid of their power and do everything to suppress and control it, destroying the woman in the process. Please explain how that supports the good of society. You also have an inherent insecurity that runs through the psyches of every Muslim male along with an inability to control your tempers when you lose the illusion of control. Talk about a potent cocktail. I wonder if that insecurity is what drove you to Islam.

Hesparado, I commend you on your position on how to solve the problem of Muslims. It may work if implemented. The only hesitation I have had is that implementation would be impossible with the way things are right now. Add to this the fact that the federal government only enforces the laws that the administration decides to enforce (re: new Arizona Immigration). Also add to this the fact that the federal government is going broke at a very rapid pace, is totally incompetant, and a very large portion of liberals (including many of the President's own advisors) are pushing for a dictatorship.

There may be one day soon, however, when the world changes drastically due to an event or series of events. When that happens, your position may well indeed be the popular way to solve the problem. That day, people may come out of dreamland and see Islam for what is really is...a bloody barbaric cult. The good thing, is that on that day, we may find some agreement on the how to deal with Muslims and other barbarians.

"I think in your world fucking is everything but it's a problem for you. You definitely don't make love so spare us the "flouting the sacrament of marriage". (Nice revelation that you used to be a Christian, though. Thanks for sharing.)"

Isabella,

Dank is a word which (to me) describes a cold dark damp cellar. Anyone who would choose such a word for their name along with his statement that he used to be a Christian, surely it must be that Dank has crossed to the dark side. That is why he is happy with Islam and all of its attributes. He probably sees Islam as something that feels better than a Satanic cult. A Christian who is rebellious of love, family, and sharing of life would likely find something on the other side to his liking but would be unable to relate to anything on the side of the real world lest it be the primitive militant male dominated thinking of Islam which includes the forceful domination of the world including the subjugation complete exploitation of all women.

Spot on, you are, well, spot on! It's been my experience that people who used to be Christians and converted to Islam have something deep and dark going on in their past that lurks and tortures them. They missed the memo on forgiveness and don't think it is available to them. So they go this other route which is guaranteed to continue their suffering (maybe as a self imposed punishment) but not render them any better oof than when they began. I imagine there are people who take the Islamic fork in the road only to realize a decade or so down the road that this didn't get them where they thought they needed to go.

Yes, Wellington: it's always nice to have one's cake and eat it too. Why didn't I think of that!

Good point on the necessary connection between functioning democracy and morality. I think it was John Adams himself who said that the US Constitution was written for a "moral and religious" people and that it would not work for any other. I'd go further and say that it will work only for those with a deep and serious respect for the Old and New Testaments in their cultural DNA.

Maybe the harshness of hudud punishments is a reflection on how Islam, despite its bold claims, really doesn't produce a moral society. I hear so many Muslims bringing up the flagrant homosexuality of the West as an example of Muslim moral superiority, but travelers of both past and present report that no part of the world is as full of the sin against nature as the Islamic world.

Also, folks, ease up on Dank. I suspect he's the sort of searching youngster who happened on Islam at a time when he was disgusted with so much of the family meltdown and rampant, shameless sexual revolutionaries in our society. Give him time, and maybe he'll rediscover Jesus Christ (NOT the Muslim impostor who did not die on the cross).

Demsci,

I suppose that in times of extreme danger or even war you should and WILL get your point across with many people.

There are two types of extreme danger:

1) active, obvious, with cities being blown up

2) #1 in the planning stage.

It is reasonable to assume that we are already in a #2 situation: innumerable Muslims networking throughout the world in order to plot horrific attacks against us at times and in places we may not be able to predict in order to stop. There have already been dozens of plots stopped. It is reasonable to assume that dozens more remain unknown and we will not be able to stop them.

Our situation of being in #2 requires preventative measures -- unless one is happy waiting around and not taking the actions that will minimize or even eliminate the potential danger, resulting in the deaths of thousands or hundreds of thousands of us. Is it worth it to wait around?

Right now though, there seems to be no sense of any imminent danger among the vast majority of the people of the West and India...

That's their problem. They are being recklessly obtuse. I'm going to keep hammering my point home. The more people who do so, the more likely we will effect social change of mind about this issue.

Hesperado, I HEAR your message.

It seems a bit like in the movie "Dante's peak". The expert, Pierce Brosnan, warned about an imminent volcanic eruption. But he was gainsayed and outvoted by other volcanic experts AND politicians who saw the massive disadvantages of sounding the alarm and who withheld an appropriate reaction.

Needless to say; in the following days Dante's peak DID erupt, causing massive damage and misery.

I hope to God you're wrong. Because it seems that something TERRIBLE MUST happen before enough people in authoritative places, experts and politicians, and their voters, can be persuaded by people like you.

At least in the meantime let our-side politicians and activists and writers do what they CAN do.

I do see your point, but if you say Muslims must be seen as "guilty until proven innocent" that MUST mean that they must be held accountable for their choices in a reasonable way to rational people. And that they are not (enough) right now.

Demsci,

Realistically, I agree that the West will likely have to suffer horrible mass-murders before it takes the measures it would have taken had it known those horrible mass-murders would have taken place. I.e., the West is irrationally slow about waking up to the danger of Muslims, and it is highly likely it will wait too long.

When I say "too long", it doesn't mean I believe the West will lose -- but I do believe it will wait too long to save hundreds of thousands, perhaps a few million, Western lives (as well as the physical anguish of hundreds of thousands who survive the successful Muslim terror attacks that will surely happen in the future, along with severe destruction of infrastructure and social dislocations) -- all of this preventable had the West woken up sooner to take prejudicial action against Muslims in the West.

However, even if the Wes reacts slowly, I believe it will be good for a slowly building nucleus of social consciousness to be growing in the meantime. Paradigm shifts in society don't happen by themselves: they are not mechanical inanimate processes: they are human processes -- involving a change of mind. As such, their development is not only helped by a small but slowly growing nucleus of "canaries in the coalmine" -- those canaries are the very beginnings of such a change.

Secondly, my phrase "guilty until proven innocent" merely reflects the convenient use of a common well-known phrase: I don't necessarily mean it literally in the legal or moral sense. A more accurate phrase for what I mean is that we should consider all Muslims equally dangerous until proven harmless. (And needless to say, I have stringent requirements for what would constitute "proven harmless" == requirements so stringent, due to limitations rationality imposes upon us given the nature of the problem, that it likely is virtually impossible: which, of course, translates as simply impossible.)

Once in a while it can happen.

The appalling "Dank" implies that the psychopathic "Prophet" Muhammed was actually a "moderate" who only practiced stoning when he had no other alternative.

What utter crap. The Jews in Muhammed's time had long abandoned stoning—a number of Hadiths, in fact, chastise them for just this. And Christians, per Jesus' example, had *never* formally practiced stoning.

The vicious "Prophet" enshrined a barbaric practice that was on the way out in his time.

The idea that all victims of marital infidelity want to see their spouses buried in a hole and *stoned to death* by a mob says nothing about human nature, but a great deal about the perverse moral sense of the followers of the obscene "Prophet".
