Her Father Shot Her in the Head, as an ‘Honor Killing’

[Yo_Mama]

72. I wouldn't say that at all. There are in fact several Islams, and one disputed one

It's obvious that many are doing horrific acts PRECISELY because their version of Islam tells them to do it.

Also we are generating new wackoid sects here in the west along with those being generated in Africa and the Middle East, not to mention a few Asian offshoots.

If you are accusing me of being a Muslim apologist, I am very proud of myself, because I seemed to have convinced a few others that I am a raving anti-Muslim bigot.

Unlike most here who post on this topic, I have read the Koran or Quran, however it is fashionable to spell it. I know Islam is not a religion of peace. It is a religion of conflict and struggle. There are several interpretations of that struggle, one of them being that the primary duty is to fight the battle with the ego so as to lead a good life.

People are blaming Islam for all the world's problems, but the Eritrean who was quoted in the NYT as saying that in Africa, if you wanted a woman you could just take her was probably a Christian.

Culture usually conquers difficult ethical mandates in religion, rather than religion conquering culture.

I will leave you with the words of Al-Sisi:

I am referring here to the religious clerics. We have to think hard about what we are facing—and I have, in fact, addressed this topic a couple of times before. It’s inconceivable that the thinking that we hold most sacred should cause the entire umma [Islamic world] to be a source of anxiety, danger, killing and destruction for the rest of the world. Impossible!

That thinking—I am not saying “religion” but “thinking”—that corpus of texts and ideas that we have sacralized over the centuries, to the point that departing from them has become almost impossible, is antagonizing the entire world. It’s antagonizing the entire world!

Is it possible that 1.6 billion people [Muslims] should want to kill the rest of the world’s inhabitants—that is 7 billion—so that they themselves may live? Impossible!

I am saying these words here at Al Azhar, before this assembly of scholars and ulema—Allah Almighty be witness to your truth on Judgment Day concerning that which I’m talking about now.

All this that I am telling you, you cannot feel it if you remain trapped within this mindset. You need to step outside of yourselves to be able to observe it and reflect on it from a more enlightened perspective.

I say and repeat again that we are in need of a religious revolution. You, imams, are responsible before Allah. The entire world, I say it again, the entire world is waiting for your next move… because this umma is being torn, it is being destroyed, it is being lost—and it is being lost by our own hands.
