    Interesting Take on Islam

    I'll preface this to say that it's not Islamophobic to discuss the incompatibility of Sharia/lslam with western countries. Trump is right to limit the influx of "refugees" to the U.S. when their sister countries are similar in culture/religion.

    “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.”

    Muslims have historically used rape when taking over other cultures.

    It's still against the law here to have more than one wife or have underage wives. In their countries it's not.

    There is nothing wrong with excluding young single males of a certain age group from the list of eligible refugees, given their proclivities.

    I agree. And if we're being honest, most of the "refugees" are men.

    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.

    It is true that assimilation into our culture is impossible with most Islamists. Assimilation isn't one of their priorities.

    FGM is cultural, not religious and arranged marriages are only acceptable in Islam if the parties agree i.e. forced marriage is not condoned. There are many practices that are not in the least bit a part of Islam, but are nevertheless part of various, shall we say, patriarchal cultures. 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.

    I'm always amazed by how people can claim the unacceptable practices of Islam aren't really representative of Islam.
