This week in Islam

[cybercoma]

I asked my friend, who's Muslim, and he doesn't think she should die. Does that make you feel any better?

And this week in Islam, an evil, seductive ten year old girl shamed her entire extended family by seducing an innocent Mullah! For this, almost everyone agrees, she must die! Islam is a very moral religion, you know.

All the nice words about Afghanistan girls going to school.... Canada will never "cut and run" until the mission is accomplished... all of that was just government propaganda.

What a waste of lives and money...... to prop up this kind of society? We can sure be proud of our role there.......... not.

If our troops in Afghanistan had any real balls they would have stuffed as many women and children onto military transports as they could and brought them home as refugees.

Yeah, it's our troops fault.

Kicking and screaming the whole way? To immediately launch challenges under the Charter of Rights, sue us for millions and then return home with the cash?

Yes, some women there hate the system, but the majority of them believe it's God's will, and would never cooperate with anyone trying to change it.

That is just ridiculous. Women who are beaten by their husbands, daughters who are refused education, women who can't practice their profession, would jump at the chance to start a new life in Canada. Get a grip!

And from our delightful Islamic brothers in Iraq comes a new decree. Those filthy sluts... er, women, must have their clitorises removed! All of them!

Most of them are completely illiterate and about as unsophisticated as it's possible to be in 2014. They don't have professions. Their entire world is their family and clan. Removed from that, they have nothing.

Apparently that's Iraq's problem now. Now if ISIS goes after the oil, you will see action.

ISIS is already selling oil.

The insanity of religious fanaticism in Pakistan. The slightest hint of blasphemy and your life is in danger.

I'd change it to, 'Let's all hate those who can't answer back here'.

As should be the case.

[GostHacked]

As should be the case.

Why do you hate freedom?

[Shady]

Why do you hate freedom?

Huh?

[GostHacked]

Huh?

They obviously need another dose of freedom.

[Argus]

I'd change it to, 'Let's all hate those who can't answer back here'.

Then we'd have to change most of the threads you post on to "Look how evil the Jews are."

What like, babies and giraffes?

It's less about freedom and more about preventing a new terrorist group from unlimited funding through oil revenue. Seems like a no brainer.

I guess I messed up that response. I was on my iphone! I was going to say:

Your post reflects your lack of research and understanding of the women of Afghanistan. Many, many women in Afghanistan were educated, were able to practice their profession until the Taliban. Your comments are degrading towards the women in Afghanistan. Can you possibly think for just a minute about the women who were educated in Afghanistan until they were banned from their profession. They were not and are not illiterate and unsophisticated. Your comments disgust me and many women who you know nothing about.

I hasten to agree with your comments. Having spent time in Afg. and specifically in Kabul, I met women who were doctors, university profs., even drove cars. Anyone who cares to delve into history books about the region will discover that they are definitely not unsophisticated or illiterate. Granted out in the hinterland the confines of Islamic law as interpreted by the local men do tend to hold women back severly. The honkey redneck comments you refer to demonstrate an equal lack of sophistication IMO.

Argus comments are illiterate and lack education.

They certainly do not coincide with my "boots on the ground" experience. And I don't use that phrase in the military sense. I'm not a big fan of Sharia law, but then I'm not a fan of religions no matter the stripe. But the concept these people are a bunch of "ragheads" living in caves is so inept.
