There you go - who says Islam can't adapt to modern times?

Oh, yeah - that polygamy thing.

Du du du du du, My Sharia!
Du du du du du, My Sharia!

Seriously, wouldn't it be great being a guy under Sharia law? Think about it, if your wife has bad breath, or if she burns the toast, you can go to the judge, and send her three pages, "I divorce you". You're then a FREE MAN!

Actually, since I'm a human being and not a monster, the LAST thing I want is stone-age Sharia. I much prefer the infinitely more compassionate Judeo-Christian system we have here in the West.

For example, my wife recently bought a car, without my permission. Although I was a bit ticked off about it, I am far more happy with the fact that in America, women don't have to beg their husbands for permission. They can do whatever they want, if they are adults.

He admitted that the two wives, having become "close friends", had actually sought the divorce together

Maybe the two wives became close friends when they were coincidentally placed in adjacent beds at the hospital after their latest beatings.

They undoubtedly became friends commiserating with one another. Can't imagine what the problems must have been...

...but will this guy get a clue?! Doubtful.

I suppose these two women were charged for receiving the 3 SMS text messages each. What do their cell phone bills look like?

Posted by: CTYankee at April 2, 2008 3:17 PM

Well, this is a new one. But I have to hand it to them, they remain friends and he's the one that was kicked to the curb. What do you want to bet the girls get to keep their kids too, because this guy probably is overwhelmed with the idea of taking care of six kids, and what other woman wants to come into that house and be an instant babysitter? Plus even though middle-aged Muslim men are enamored with the idea of marrying teen-aged brides, what teenager is going to want this middle-aged man who was dumped by two other women?

This is soap opera for the ages.

On the heals of the media bruhaha about the misrepresented quote of a Catholic bishop about the growth of Islam...

Worth considering? This man is now free to marry two more women and sire six more children... And repeat. More, and more, and more....

Why is Islam growing? Not only are they pro-fertility, but how many places is this legal? Understand that even in portions of the Islamic world where polygamy is not common, super-quick divorce and remarriage to younger more fertile women is still very much allowed.

Not happy with one of the wives? Repeat after me (in front of male Muslim witness):

"I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you"

Problem solved!

But who cares what a female teenaged Muslim girl wants or doesn't want? She will marry him, whether she wants to or not. Her desires and aspirations are irrelevant.

Special Guest,

I was at a birthday party for an associate Saturday night and this young guy I know was telling me about a Muslim girl who lived next door and whom he had dated a few times. This is in a huge metropolitan area in the U.S. He said that she had begged him to marry her because her parents were starting to put pressure on her to submit to an arranged marriage. He said she is in graduate school and supposedly, as long as she stays in school, she doesn't have to marry. But I thought better of it. It sounds like this poor girl is getting desperate. The guy also told me she's stuck in the house when she's not at school.

This reminded me of another case where a French Muslim girl who lived in the projects outside of Paris was being set up to marry someone "back home" and she was desperate not to be sent there. This young woman worked in Paris and her parents knew when she got off work so if she was a few minutes late her mother would call her a whore. A few days before she was supposed to leave to get married, her boss noticed there was something wrong and she burst into tears and told him what was going on. He made up his mind to hide her and help her and she didn't go home. The first week after she disappeared her family sent text messages telling her they were worried and they missed her and to please come home. The second week she got text messages from the same family members threatening to kill her. Actually, they were promising to kill her. This was in a Vanity Fair article (my favored trash magazine to read at the beach on vacation) and it really started me thinking about what was going on with Muslims. I do not know what became of this girl but I had never even heard of the Muslim projects out of Paris at this time and this story planted the seeds to looking into what could be done about the situation.

I'm afraid for the girl that my associate knows but I'm resolved to pray for her and hope she can use her wits to avoid the bondage of an arranged Muslim marriage. I couldn't think of a worse fate to be condemned to.

She's in graduate school, and she's confined to her house. In a large city, in the U.S.

I can see this one either of two ways: either they live by U.S. cultural norms while living in the U.S. (meaning: adult females are not murdered for being 5 minutes late from school), or they live by Islamic norms back in Dar al-Islam (my personal preference).

If we're going to allow them into our country (which I'm not saying we should), we have an obligation to enforce the laws and freedoms of our culture. It is shameful to allow this kind of fascist, domineering sexism to exist in our own country, out of a perverted and twisted "sensitivity to cultural differences".

We are currently living in a state of sickness, of madness, of irrationality. We have met the enemy, and it is Islam; and when faced with the insanity of Islam, we have responded by going bonkers ourselves.

"We have met the enemy, and it is Islam; and when faced with the insanity of Islam, we have responded by going bonkers ourselves."

Honey, you said it. When this young guy told me the part about her being stuck in her house, the hair on the back of my neck stood up. I'm thinking, this chick lives about ten minutes away from my office and SHE'S STUCK IN HER FRICKIN'HOUSE? The guy didn't get the full affect of what was going on, but I did.

Another time, at a business get together at a cool hotel with a lot of other business folk, I was working the room and came upon what seemed to be a very polite and friendly Egyptian salesman. He owned his own company and we chatted for a while. He told me he was married and he talked about his business. He told me that he was going to go on a trip to Las Vegas for the first time in the next week and I told him he would enjoy it very much as I've been there several times. After I said that he asked me if I wanted to go with him. I just looked at him incredulously and knowing he was a dog for asking me that, I asked him he hadn't just told me he was married and wouldn't his wife like to go along? Then he looked at me with a sheepish grin and said that, no, she didn't like to go out of the house. That's when I ditched him.

I just thought, you piece of garbage, how dare you ask me a question like that. I was so ticked. But now I understand that that kind of behavior is standard operating procedure with these pig Muslim men.

Posted by: Isabellathecrusader at April 2, 2008 9:33 PM

Isabellathecrusader, can you blame him? I bet you were not even wearing a burqa, and I bet even your hands and wrists were showing. Can't blame the cat for trying to eat a little uncovered catfood. All the womens is the slutty womens in Dar al-Harb.

I just thought, you piece of garbage, how dare you ask me a question like that.

Next time (ha!) don't think it, say it. Loudly enough to attract attention. Lots of it.

Posted by: special_guest at April 2, 2008 10:01 PM

I hate to say this, but I was truly expecting to hear that he was getting the last laugh by marrying the 19 year old daughter...I know I'm the warped one here, but all the April Fool's jokes have me a bit off-kilter. Nonetheless, doesn't Islam validate a lot of things that don't make sense? Didn't Muhammad justify whatever he wanted to do, or had already done, by making up some BS that ended up being a "religion"? Would it be that far-fetched?

Back to his guy - hopefully he will be so overburdened by his child support payments he'll think twice before he goes and gets his next 2 wives...

Posted by: Yaupon at April 2, 2008 10:08 PM

Blecchhh! Special Guest, you're going to make me hurl. I do remember this guy had very funky teeth, but his smile seemed so kind and that's what made it even worse because I realized he was not sincere.

As to what I was wearing, I'm sure it was business casz, but since it was summer and I never wear nylons in the summer, I'm sure I had sandals on and they probably had toe cleavage. Oh my!

You know, that pisses me off too. I dress very conservatively and these nimrods have absolutely no place to call my friends or me ho's because of their stupid religion. In fact, any Muslim man who says that about me or mine can go eff themselves.

Yaupon,

He probably owns a gas station in the U.S. so child support payments won't be a problem.

Huh? If you mean the uncovered meat comment, you know that those are not my words, right? I'm just quoting Australian cleric Sheikh Taj al-Din al-Hilali. If there is an unintentional double-entendre in there, then blecchh! from me too. The point was that Muslim males (such as al-Hilali) think that Western women are uncovered, and therefore of loose morals and deserving of Muslim males' harassment.

I've said it many times, Muslims do not belong in Dar al-Harb. Our cultures are incompatible.

Posted by: special_guest at April 3, 2008 12:01 AM

No, no, Special Guest, I'm just kidding you! Knowing what I know now I don't trust any Muslim men so the thought of them having any designs on me or any of my friends irritates the heck out of me. And that's the thing...I learned a long time ago to be self sufficient and I don't depend on a man to take care of me, so this idea that Islam will take over and force me to be "taken care of" by a man makes me want to shoot somebody through the head. The audacity!

I've lived my life pretty freely. I have my own business because I don't want anyone telling me how to run it. I'm single by choice. The only restrictions I have are the ones that everyone has, like don't drive 100 mph down the freeway, and the ones I put on myself, my religious beliefs. That doesn't hurt anybody. But when I hear these morons wanting to put their strictures on me and my country, especially when it's obvious that it has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with the Muslim preoccupation with their private parts, I get spittin' bullets mad and I will fight them to the death. I am not eligible for marriage again because of my faith and after having lived so long on my own, I don't want it anyway, so living under Islam would never be an option for me.

So you and I are on the same page, bro. And I did appreciate your reference to that idiot Imam in Australia's comments about woman being uncovered meat. LOL

Person of the book,

I have no doubt that guy would sell chitlin's and beer at his gas station. That's the other thing that gets me about these people. Do as I say, not as I do.

Taupon,

Yes, I've been wondering why if the only reason we went over to Iraq was to steal their oil, then why does it cost almost $60 every time I fill up my gas tank? We are slowly but surely handing over our country to these scumzoids, and doing it with a smile on our faces. Sometimes I feel like I live amongst a lot of frogs in a big fat pot!
