Video: Feminism, jihad style
posted at 12:17 pm on October 9, 2006 by Allahpundit
I was going to title this “Feminism, Islamist style” but is this guy really an Islamist? Or just a “moderate” Muslim who’s strongly pro-Palestinian?
There are many shades of gray between that black and white, eh?
Nice to see someone in the Middle East standing up for female autonomy, though. He understands that women weren’t put on this earth simply to carry babies. They were put here to carry bombs, too.
Mind you, this is the head of the International Union for Muslim Scholars.

So, the women should all go kill themselves, and others, with homicide bombs because they just might not live long enough to have a baby anyway?
Lets see…..
might die next within 5 years anyway: .01 percent ?
die from homicide bomb: 100% death rate- you decide.

Just goes to prove how insane Mulsim Jihadists, or Islamists, or whatever you wish to call them, are.
They all base their ideology on the same book (the Quran).
If they all base their ideology on the same book, then what’s the real difference between any of their ideologies? Are we just afraid to recognize that they really are just all the same group?
I realize some are just plain insane. The this so-called moderate Muslim group that everyone talks about just never seems to manifest into a real group of real people.

Er, well, David Koresh and Fred Phelps base their ideology on the Bible.

But nowhere in the New Testament does it say that ubelievers in Jesus Christ should be forced to convert to christianity, made to live as second-class citizens and pay all Christians a tax, or be put to death by the sword. While David Koresh and Fred Phelps are small, isolated groups, Islamofascism is a much larger group, where powerful Imams and Ahyatollahs (I know I butchered the spelling…oh well) speak out constantly about destroying the west, killing all unbelievers and beheading those who insult Islam. That’d be akin to Cardinals and Bishops in the Roman Catholic church screeding that all those who insult the RC Church should be put to death. Obviously, that hasn’t happened, because the RC Church has changed over time, appologized for it’s excesses and denounced parts of it’s past beliefs which no longer fit with the modern world. Islam, for all it’s claims as a religion of peace, has yet to do that, on any front.

AP,
The difference is that the Quran produces millions of “Koresh’s”. How many murderers in this day and age has the New Testement produced? How many Holy armies of Christ are running around the world killing the unconverted?
Ask the Christians in Darfur just how nice the Quran’s teaching are being to them today.
Koresh is a fluke in modern day Christianity… Islamo-fascists are hardly a fluke of the Quran, and they are hardly a small minority of Muslims.
Comparing Koresh’s relationship to the Bible against radical Islam’s relationship to the Quran is not really comparable at all, and is a dishonest intellectual exercise in my opinion.

The trouble is that about a billion of them wouldn’t see it that way. Ask them about Christian armies and they’ll point to ours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
It isn’t a dishonest excercise, but it is an uncomfortable one to consider. While the difference in numbers is certainly relevant, no one is likely to walk away from Islam because of it.

And whereas Koresh, Phelps, Jim Jones, etc. use selected, out-of-context Biblical passages to support their own twisted ideologies, the ideology of Jihad comes straight from the Koran itself. If Koresh, et al, actually bothered to study the whole of what the Bible says, they’d have no leg to stand on.

Wow, that was creepy. At first glance I thought that guy was Colin Powell.

Is NOW going to get their panties/thongs in a twist? Eh, I’d guess not.
SouthernGent on October 9, 2006 at 2:33 PM
The news media will ignore it. Now, if some christian group somewhere had said it, you’d have thought the world was ending and it’d be splashed all over the MSM.

True. Except that the “majority” of Christians speak out against these two knot-heads.
This simply illustrating my point a bit further. Where is this vast moderate majority of Muslims that we wish to hear speaking out? They ain’t there.
If they do exist, they are in hiding because they are more afraid of the jihadi’s than we are.

So the choice in the “enlightened” Islamic societies is get married and breed while being to married but treated like chattel OR blow yourself up and take innocent people with you? Some choice.

Good trees produce good fruit and visa versa. What’s the fruit of Islam? …Death, desolation, and destruction.
