For a clue- how…

I see Dan Riehl is yet another on the right growing aware of the irrational prejudices of some on the right toward Muslims. This time in a dustup with the Hot Air folks. Although I hold them no ill will, I felt ill-treated by tho……

Catholic women stopped covering the roof a few decades ago, but some old timers and geographic spots still do. It’s a personal choice.

I’m with you about the man being head of the woman in Paul’s epistle, but the chapter is clear about head covering and hair, and I’m not seeing it in anything but a literal sense. It was the custom in the Near East and also in Western Europe centuries later.

The post about showing Islam respect being taken the wrong way, has converted me. These genocidal maniacs do think that they are in charge of the world based on the trumped up theology of Mohammad. We need to all take a stand against that.

The Bushites were honoring religion with their Islamic tapdance—seen in the picture above.

Saul was a Semite. Paul was converted.

Jesus and Paul rejected religion openly. Paul was an apostle to the Gentiles and followed Jesus.

The practice of covering the head is a religious activity. I am not clear about the past Catholic practice, but I have devout Catholic family and friends. Not a one wears cloth on the head.

Now, with that out of the way, Paul was referring to the husband as the “head.” I know that does not play well with today’s dufus hipster PC crowd, but read the passage. He was not talking about cloth on rooftops.

Honoring Islam (allah) is honoring the anti-Christ. Placing cloth on the head was “way over the top.”

isn’t this particular instance a little more like wearing a yarmulke in a synagogue or women wearing a hat in a Catholic church?

No

1. Because the headcovering is required by law on the street, not just in mosque, in countries run by this crowd. Because the headcovering is part of the dhimmi – the demand made upon people who do not belong to their faith, as a price to stay alive

Because I can watch this unfolding yet again as the new enforcers flex muscle in Arafat’s old territory

Because when this group gains control it redefines the public space as the mosque, and the headcovering is forced on the female population

2. Because the orthodox wing of said religion follows not simply a religion, which is considered a matter of choice in a free country. It follows a closed system that requires it persist until all obey

3. Because these people who force the head covering on outsiders in their own country do not interpret our actions from our mindset, but from theirs.

Our mindset tells us this is a simple act of respect.

Their mindset tells us this is a simple act of compliance.

This is because we believe in free will, and freedom, something rooted in the Judeao-Christian culture and the Bible.

They believe in the sword of their prophet by which he subjugated populations to his religion.

There is the difference. These dumb broads (my phrase) have handed this group a victory – in their eyes. The victory gained was not respect, it was compliance.

The Chinese and Japanese use the same written language. They can read written text and understand it, yet not understand the each others’ spoken language.

In our case we and the dhimmi masters are both using the same spoken language but find different meanings in the words because our mindsets fill in the blanks differently.

For instance, a radical islamic spokesperson can say with a straight face about 9-11, ‘our faith condemns the killing of the innocent’.

The western listener hears sympathy and extrapolates empathy.

The mid-eastern listener understands 9-11 has not been condemned because the infidel and their families are by definition, not innocent.

A prophet once said ‘they listen and do not hear’

Hold it! Paul was speaking of the woman’s head—her husband. READ the passage. Islam is the religion. Why do you want Christianity to be a religion too?

You lost me……?

Paul was a Semite. Today, Islam is a Semitic religion and reflects more of the culture of the very early church than what we see in Christianity or even the Hebrew faith. Both Christianity and the Hbrew faith are very much Westernized, even though they both come a Semitic foundation along with all the cultural baggage that it included (as in the treatment of women). It wasn’t that long ago that Catholic women were subject to covering their heads while inside church.

There are so many vile things about Islam to list, and this is way, way down on the list (in my book).

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved. For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. For man is not from woman, but woman from man.

I am SOOOO looking forward to the next election and voting for an exciting leader who is qualified, has common sense, wisdom, and I can trust – instead of voting for who will do the least amount of damage.

Fred! YES!

Diana West (via Michelle Malkin) has a must-read column about the pathetic inability of westerners to clearly identify jihadis as what they are…

What would have been nice is if the ladies would have pulled the scarves off, removed Bic lighters from their purses, lighted the flames, held it under the scarves and yelled “Jesus Jesus Jesus.” Then, blow out the flames, folded the scarves and placed the lighters and scarves in their purses. What a missed opportunity.

From Paul (New Testament)
1 Corinthian 11:4-7

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved. For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. For man is not from woman, but woman from man.

Lets just face the music. Muslims oppose global jihad like Germans opposed Nazism or Russians opposed Communism. There were only a few dissenters who mostly ended up dead.

I think that most Muslims in the west are as apolitical as any person (again, speaking from my own experience), and therefore are not a threat to anyone. The loud ones are the ones that get heard all the time.

You’re talking about the ideology. I’m talking about the people.
I’ll use myself as an example again: some passages in the Talmud talk about the goyyim in a pretty bad way. Just because I’m Jewish doesn’t mean I will follow the Talmud to the letter and treat non-Jews poorly.

Kofi Anna said: “there’s nothing wrong with the faith, it’s the faithful that are the problem”. I think he got it backwards. Islam is pretty hardcore, and jihadi ideology is even worse. But the followers (most) aren’t that bad.
