Of course not because i believe in democracy and freedom of religion however if a rule or law from ISLAM contradicts a value of democracy or human rights guess which one should be overwritten? In the US if a state law contradicts a federal law the federal law wins. Take a hint from history, when religion governs a country, the religion or the country is doomed to fail. Please, people of Islam if you are reading this post please stop the 'stoning' and other inhumane barbaric acts and start acting civil and maybe, just maybe people will feel sorry for you and want to help.
I bet most of the Muslims on DP are secular Muslims... although I could be wrong. We are getting more technologically and scientifically more advanced every year, religion will die at some point.
I tend to agree. At one point, people will see that religion is only a source of problems and will disappear. But it is necessary for weak people to lean on something to keep moving, whatever is a god or an apple. If someone believe that a god or an apple can help them mentally or spiritually, they will. It's not the god or the apple that help, it's their readiness of the momentum. There will be always weaker people so my guess is it will disappear later than sooner...
In theory the war occurring now could represent the bubonic plague in the middle ages. Brandon patiently awaits the Renaissance If you know history you should be able to understand the above phrase History does repeat itself.
Noooooooooooo ! We need people like Dr. Salah Sultan, the Muslims of DP and so on for a good laugh. no? The funniest videos on Youtube are from the Arab media. Is the earth flat debate, can women drive. I have even learned that The Swiss People's party (the one that initiated the ban on mosques), is a zionist party. look . No Islam - No Fun. The number 1 war occuring now is Shia Islam vs. Sunni Islam. (And both against their own women). http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/index.html#attacks
~ Try that during the Spanish inquisition for the Christians if you think Islam is an isolated incident. ~ As long as mankind exists there will be religion and someday perhaps sooner than later of an enlightening nature.....
I guess the main reason Islam still exist is the wide spread ignorance in the muslim world. Most of them are framed and blindly accept anything muhammad said without questioning the wisdom of his actions....... Like child marriage, execution of prisoners of war, barbaric punishment and so on.... Even with all that barbarity ISLAMIC SOCIETIES ARE PROVEN TO BE BEHIND COMPARED TO THE DEMOCRATIC ONES! So the logical conclusion is ISLAM IS ANTI-PROGRESSIV RELIGION..... It is a dictatorial system where the imams have all the power. Like one American who lived in Saudi Arabia said "Monkeys in jungles live by better rules.", this may not sound nice, but how good is for the women to be deprived of the very basic human right to move freely, travel alone and etc.? It is pretty foolish to say Saidy Arabia is a very advanced country. True, BUT! THAT IS DUE TO THE OIL. Look at the other muslim countries in the area which don't have oil riches! Poverty, low education,..... It would be much better for the muslims if Islam have never been introduced to their grand, grand parents. I vote YES!
banning is not the answer,you ban something it will become more popular,one can't enslave the mind.muslims have to educate themselves to move with the times.
If a person set the rules of his compound and decided that any one who go against them will be out, then the security, who are supposed to apply the rules of the owner, changed these rules and applied their own ones and tolerate the guilty people who violate the rules of the owner, what do you think the owner will do for these barbaric transgressors? We love God so much, and we accept all His commandments, even against ourselves, and we will not change them. We don't want your rules, even if they give us some safety in case of adultery. We want the Ever Lasting Peace, not the limited temporary one. Say (O Mohammad): "O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do you criticize us for no other reason than that we believe in God, and in (the revelation) which has been sent down to us and in that which has been sent down before (us), and that most of you are rebellious and disobedient?" (59) Say: "Shall I inform you of something worse than that, regarding the recompense from God: those who incurred the Curse of God and His Wrath, those of whom (some) He transformed into monkeys and swines, those who worshipped false deities; such are worse in rank, and far more astray from the Right Path." (60)
Again, I have to agree. If the owner is raping women in his compound and the women are OK because their religion says women must be raped and must live that way or they will be stoned, why should barbaric transgressors come to say: "Hey, you can't rape women"? It's not their business... You don't want to live like in the middle age? try Canada or Spain... Leave the muslims alone... I don't see why ones should stop jews to cut little boys penises if they like that, stop japonese eat sushi if they like crude fish or stop brazilian to celebrate carnaval if they like to party...
Cody; it isn't only Jews who perform circumcisions; there are some arguments for it. (I don't support it in cases where anesthetic is not used.) There are benefits for men too; they enjoy sex more thanks to nerves and they are much cleaner than "uncut" males.
oops your cover is blown! so much for being atheist I can understand, it is hard to resist when someone questions Jewish Values anyway we have been through it, this might interest you http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1555346 there another 'atheist' i.e. chaostrivia dying in defense of jewish circumcision and infant penis sucking
Uncircumcised men do not enjoy sex less then circumcised men and they are not less cleaner neither. This BS need to stop... The jewish value of cutting little boys' penis can not overrule that. It is only a barbaric practice. Beside, if god really created us, didn't he create the penis as it is when born? Why cut it? because it's "cleaner"? Why don't we cut appendix right away to avoid appendicitis? Why not shredding girl's vagina for better sex or cutting wide open the vagina to make it cleaner?? What a load of BS...amazing...
They have their foreskin removed at 8 days old, therefore they do not know what sex is like with a foreskin nor have any idea what it is like to have one. On the other hand there are many men western men who say that after they had there foreskin removed that sexual pleasure/feelings were drastically reduced and it ruined their sex life. I suppose it's like a child being born blind compared to an adult going blind, it would affect one worse than the other.
I love it. All part of the vast Jewish conspiracy. I bet you guys get yourselves really worked up when talking to each other at the Mosque about this stuff. Cody, I first off want to commend your grammar, especially in the bolded section. It identifies you as either ESL who is under educated in English, or just plain old under educated. Given the intended meaning of your poorly written text, I'm guessing the later. Truly the poster child of people who New, Imad, and the rest prey upon. Perhaps you should educate yourself before making sweeping and erroneous statements. http://www.malesvue.com/news/2008/08/11/cleanliness-and-circumcision/ It amazes me that someone would argue that something requiring more effort to keep clean is equally likely to be clean at any point in time. I've got no beef with "cut" vs. "uncut", but why do people always have to bring idiocy into the conversation?
It is quite obvious what a foreskin role is, it protects the head of the penis from chaffing. When the head of the penis is chaff it has less feelings. The foreskin also protects from the residue that accumulated in the underpants. Getting circumcised does not prevent anyone from getting aids or other sexual deceases, the use of a condom will. When doctors tells the public about the negative of being uncircumcise, it is because he is a religious bigot and does not know what he talks about.
One thing people often forget is it's a religious practice to mutilate penises, a practice started when the Torah was written by man (a long time ago for the idiots). Maybe the issue of cleanliness has a basis then but today we have showers, proper and easily accessible baths and can wash clothes with ease, so there's no problem keeping your penis clean and you don't have to wear the same pair of underpants/boxers for a month. Try moving with the times instead of sticking to the medieval stuff.
