    There is nothing interesting at all in that diatribe. It is kinda curious, or is that hypocritical, to call out Muslims for hate when we have a president that calls fellow humans rapists, animals, and calls nations shatholes. Can they even spell hypocrite. But hate manages much of the right today and they completely fail to see it. It has become part of the them, see the faces in that video. Centuries of racism and thirty years of Clinton hatred demonstrate it clearly. It is always the other that hates, and is wrong, even when they share the same qualities. There was so much hate directed at our last president but by some strange mental apologetic it is not seen in the mind of the right winger hater.

    You have not let up on your hatred for Trump. All of this hatred and violence comes from YOUR side of the fence. What your posts does is prove it.
    What has Trump done to you? What has he taken from you? What Rights has he denied you?
    One of you surely has an answer, but none have responded to that question except with hatred and despicable behavior. Like that'll change anything........
    Let's deal with the insults you deliver every day about members in here or the assaults on Trump and his family.
    Nay. You are as duplicitous as those asses out there. You attack, then whine when we defend.
    .........couch cowards.

    Islam is just another monotheistic religion which kills and dies over "holy ground".
    However, fundamentalist Muslims , the kind our actions in the ME produce, are indeed far more dangerous that say Fundamentalist Christians because the teachings they follow are far less compassionate. Fundamentalist Christians have to go outside their teachings to be dicks, fundamentalist Muslims follow teachings that require them to be dicks.

    What worries me isn't the free practice of religion, its the acceptance of a religion that is so detrimental to women. We already have the practice of FGM in Michigan, and young girls being forced into marriage against their will.

    IMO, one of the reasons Sharia is being practiced in Europe is the inability of women to protect themselves.
    What amazes me about Europe: for decades they have been at the fore of embracing the feminist movement. Now the elite and the globalists are flooding Europe with a culture that disdains feminism and would take Europe back hundreds of years with regards to women's rights.

    They are willing to sacrifice women's rights, and European culture for the sake of the migrants. I doubt very much it is out of concern for the migrant's well being.

    Arraigned marriage is not always forced marriage. The Islamists practice forced marriage when they conquer new territory- the warriors get to pick and choose which captured women will become his wife- whether she wants it or not.

Forced marriage is also practiced by Christians in some countries with similarly patriarchal cultures, along with a whole host of other countries with disparate religious groups. Patriarchy is really the issue in terms of the disregard for female rights. Such families and even societies will couch patriarchal rhetoric in morality and obedience, but it is what it is. Females in those families will be denied freedom of association and are usually guarded by male members of the family to ensure that they can't have male friends. Resisting can be dangerous, since a patriarch who would force a marriage might also kill an unwilling daughter or even a son. Running away means cutting off all familial ties, which few people are willing to do.

    YES!!!! You stated my point much better than I did, thank you.

    I have read the Quran and keep a copy in the house, next to my Bible. According to the Quran, women have little value and are the property of men.

    https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/p...-of-women.aspx


    I obtained my copy of the Quran from two young female students while attending college a few years ago. I don't think they understood they were handing out doctrine that views them as "less than."
    “Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured…but not everyone must prove they are a citizen. And now, any of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens.”
