I wouldn’t say that you won’t find similarly extremist views regarding women in any Jewish or Christian house of worship… that would open up the possibility of some hater going into the deepest of the backwoods and finding one somewhere. A few who call themselves Christians have used the Bible to justify some pretty backwards stuff from time to time, too.

Of course, I’m just being nit-picky, and your overall points are correct and very telling. The Bible doesn’t tell men to beat their wives, for instance. Such a church or synagogue preaching that or other insanity are immediately criticized and shunned by all the others. Would the mosques that are doing the same debunking please speak up? (Roll the sound of chirping crickets, please.)

Sorry Mr.Spencer none of this is very telling to me because it’s already been told, none of this is a surprise. Most of us with a brain have already known for some time now that Muslim extremism has gone unabated in the UK. Every time I hear something about Muslim extremism I hear something from the MSM telling me about how they are misunderstood and that they’ve been taken out of context, it’s truly disgusting to me.

Apparently the problem isn’t with Muslim extremism, the real problem, according to Rosie O’Donnell is with extreme Christians. I mean isn’t it common knowledge that all Christians lop off the heads of innocents, subjugate women and blow themselves up so they can have extramarital sex with 72 virgins?

As a Christian myself I’m going to be the first to speak out so that we can be more respected in the eyes of Muslims. Now if someone can tell me how I can become more respected by the extreme Muslims and people like O’Donnell I’d definitely appreciate that, that would be telling! If anyone here could throw out some ideas outside of lopping my own head off and adopting Sharia law then I am all ears!

Well done, Robert!

Thank you for exposing the truth.

It is also sickening that not a single British politician has made any comment on the videos. Official British response is: “la la la, I cannot hear the Islamic Jihad in my living room, la la la”.

And then, we beat her.

The logic is impeccable.

No argumnets, just ad hominem attacks….now who else uses such tactics ….light bulb clicks…..no wonder the moonbat liberals remain silent.

I am prepared to bet that it would be damned easy to illicit some sound-bite worthy responses from ‘Christians’ regarding gay men. No doubt there would be no shortage of quotable text on the subject of women who opt for termination rather than child birth.

I fact I am pretty sure it would be possible to concoct a whole string of ‘outrageous’ comments from the various participants in organised religions - and not because the fundamentals of those religions are ‘evil’ per se - but because those ideals have been twisted, mutated, erased or obfuscated to suit the purposes of the day. That applies globally.

And talking of twisting, mutating, erasing and obfuscating - well done Bob. Just another in a long line of mouthpieces spouting the sort of ‘horror du jour’ that the masses so crave. You are no better, and to be fair, no worse, than that which you condemn.

You hear the statements about forcing women to wear hajibs from the mouth of Islamic Imams and you hear quotes from the Koran about how a woman’s testimony is only worth half that of a man’s and how a woman should be beaten if she does not submit to the authority of a man, yet somehow this is “twisting, mutating, erasing and obfuscating” the issue of Islamic subjugation of women? Just how do you justify that reasoning? These are not statements made by someone with a grudge against Islam, these are basic Islamic beliefs of the inferiority of woman in general and are from Islamic sources including the Koran.

Do you think that the video and quotes are not as they appear? If so, then it seems to me that you are the one that is attempting to “twisting, mutating, erasing and obfuscating” this issue to serve some other purpose.

One of the best things I have seen on hot air. Scary. My heart beat increased. Not to get into bashing Islam or Muslims but the extreme version of it is just terrifying and every american should see this. What Muslim leaders say in private is scary and the Koran is used to back it up. The real scary part is they want all of us to convert of die (be murdered). That is the theology. As a Christian I do out reach, but the idea of slitting peoples throats if they do not come to church is extreme, AND MANY muslims believe and are taught this. The next scary thing is why more moderate muslims here and abroad don’t protest. Are they afraid. Do they secretly agree or have sympathies with the radical muslims. Why the silence. When the Catholics or any “christian group” does not follow the lords word there is an outcry, rebuking and shunning. No religion is perfect because its made up of imperfect people, but I don’t see Muslims condemning this. Good work.
