Between the Chinese and Indians offing their female populations, and the Middle Eastern system of killing them for honor, and the population decline in Europe, rampant disease in Africa, I’d say that we got this whole overpopulation thing nipped in the bud. Looks like a buyer’s market ascending in real estate. Way to go!

A pure Monotheistic Religion is polluted by the superstitions formerly invoked to enforce the rigid pagan folkways of desert namads living on the edge of starvation. The incantations have overwhelmed piety and prayer. It is what happens when a soi disant Super-Prophet lives too long and neglects to have himself martyred.

I’ve been following the honor killings and ‘forced suicides’for awhile now. It is sadder than sad. Islam is a false relgion which poisons the lives of it’s faithful. Pride and honor are tied to fear and a misbegotten sense of justice.
A young girl who is raped can be hanged for dishonoring her family. A male family member can kill a sister/cousin in the street because she talked to a man outside of the family in public. One thing I know for certain about Shariah Law-I never want to see it established here in this country.

I don’t think so but it might lead to an insurrection or a revolution against the ruiling islamic party. They won by promising to fix the corruption in the army and the secular government and not only have they NOT done that but it appears to be getting worse. On top of which Turkey is not what you’d call an islamic country; when it lost the first world war it was made secular so this kinda of garbage would not happen. And it lasted.
