ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1 Not my intuition Peon, it's not guesswork on my part. It's what I am told categorically by those Muslims around me here. I have about two dozen or so Muslim friends and probably an equal number of enemies. They follow Islam. Period. They admire and condone honour killings; it is their right under Islam. That's straight from the horse's mouth. They do whatever they absolutely have to so as not to be hauled to jail under our laws. Beyond that (or if they think they can get away with it), it is Islamic law first and foremost. Why do you think the opinion of a few dozen people represent the values of over a billion? Seems a bit more than a little pedestrian to me.

ORIGINAL: Greta75 Are you saying not eating or drinking any liquids for 12 hours is not a challenge? Yes pretty much. Supper is usually over at about 6 pm. Read for a bit and go to bed at 10pm. Wake up at 7 am and have breakfast at 8 am...omg that is 14 hours.[8\|] Maybe that is why you have issues with your weight? I would have gotten bladder infection from dehydration and peeing blood by the end of the day! Sounds to me like you should see a doctor.

I've said it before in other threads, our kids went to school with theirs. We've had dinners in each others houses. A couple of them own local shops. I might be an infidel to them but not a stranger or an outsider as in a casual acquaintance. That actually makes quite a big difference to the type of conversations we have. If you can't grasp that idea, I can't help you.

quote: ORIGINAL: thompsonx ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1 What tamaka is saying is that for Islam, there is no distinction between law and religion; they are one and the same. The Islamic religion depicts the law as well. That is not true for most other religions on the planet. They might like to think that they control peoples lives but laws usually get in the way somewhere along the line. For Islamics, they don't recognise anything other than Islamic doctrine. They barely pay lip-service to any other laws and do as little as they absolutely must to not get hauled into jail. If muslims or any other punk breaks the law in my country they are arested and tried by our courts. If you think you or any other person is immune from that come here and try it. This is what she is saying. What the idiot from idaho is saying is that he hates muslims and nothing less. Whilst I agree with your sentiments, you have to catch the bastards first! And therein lies the problem. These things happen and they frequently close ranks making detection almost impossible. In western society, most people would 'out' them to the authorities. In many Muslim communities, they know they'll get made an example of and they strongly believe it's their right - so they cover it up and hide it. We've seen it over here and I don't believe that other Muslim communities living elsewhere in western societies are much different. Breaking the law and getting caught are two entirely different things. So yeah, they'll be prosecuted IF they even know something has happened AND they can find who the fuck it is to bring charges. Nice in a utopian world. Don't always work so well in reality. quote: ORIGINAL: thompsonx ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1 Not my intuition Peon, it's not guesswork on my part.

How many times do the authorities find there's been a crime - mostly by accident or long after the event? How many stories do we hear where girls are taken to Muslim countries for forced weddings, FGM, and even honour killings when the girls refuse? It happens more often than people want to believe and we're only touching the tip of the iceberg. It happens right under our noses inside communities that want to hide it because they know it's illegal where they are living in western societies. It's too late after the event - the damage has been done.

quote: ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1 Not for most Muslims. They strongly believe everyone else should convert to Islam. Muslims believe that Islamic doctrine is above any secular laws wherever they are. I don't have any statistics on this but I really can't imagine any of the Muslims I met in college or elsewhere believing this. quote: ORIGINAL: heavyblinker Only if they get caught!!! Why do you think so many honour killings are carried out and the law only finds out about a tiny fraction of them after the event? Because Muslims tend to cover it up within their community and because they feel they are justified in doing it. So many? How many honor killings have there been, exactly? quote: But they want western societies to bend to Islam wherever they can pull the race card. On what issues? For things like burkas and such I really can't see why it's such a big deal... quote: Not to a Muslim. Now this I really can't believe. So all Muslims living in Western liberal democracies intend to ignore our laws in favor of their own? Even if they think their law is 'superior', I really can't imagine that they would go so far as to reject ours, even within their own communities, knowing that in the eyes of those in power, they are not exempt.

Yeah, that wouldn't happen - because Muslim women can't cavort with strange men without being escorted by their male relatives. If she did, she'd be called a whore and stoned... or perhaps murdered to retain her family's honor. You were saying?

No you do not, it is quite glaringly obvious from your comment that you do not know very much about it at all. You are criticizing Islam for exactly the same doctrines as Christianity holds. Wrong. Once again, you have no fucking idea what you're talking about.

freedomdwarf1 -> RE: Islam (12/1/2016 7:22:43 AM)
Most of those Muslims you met in college are probably of the younger generation. If they were born and brought up in a western society, they tend to be a little more forgiving and have a more moderate view. The older generation and those less moderate certainly seem to think this way. And no, I'm not talking about extremists either. According to hbv-awareness, there are 5000 honour killings internationally per year. 12 per year in the UK alone. According to Wiki, in 2000, the United Nations estimated that 5,000 women were victims of honor killings each year. According to BBC, "Women's advocacy groups, however, suspect that more than 20,000 women are killed worldwide each year." That's a stupidly high number for what is supposedly a peaceful and moderate religion. And the ultimate goal for Islam is world dominance. It's not just their rigid dress code but also their ideology that they want the west to adopt. That's why they want to impose sharia courts in the western world. Have you not witnessed the retorts from Muslims when they see the way western women dress? Or like my OH that was verbally assaulted because she was seen smoking in public? "women" aren't allowed to smoke don'tcha know! And she was told in no uncertain terms to cover her head "like all good women should". You might think that comment would come from an older Muslim adult. It didn't. It came from a 6yo boy with his father standing behind him encouraging him. And it isn't the first time she's been harassed in this way just walking thru their community going from her daughters house to home. Muslim ideology just doesn't fit western societies. They are poles apart and always will be. Moderate Imams like to tell the media that Islam isn't like that; but in reality, it is, under that veil of 'moderate Islam'. Perhaps you aren't at the sharp end of things.

heavyblinker -> RE: Islam (12/1/2016 8:07:01 AM)
I'm wondering if this culture clash has more to do with first generation immigrants than Islam. I've been part of expat communities abroad before and there are ALWAYS people who actively refuse to adapt or compromise and who end up being antagonistic towards the host culture, and they are almost invariably going to run across locals who will tell them to 'go back to your country' as well... but that doesn't mean one person speaks for the whole expat community any more than the 'go home' guy speaks for the entire host country. Obviously if people are killing each other it's a concern, but progress won't be made until both sides can come together and agree. Giving up on the possibility of co-operation is really unhelpful, and it's only going to feed into the divisions that organizations like ISIS and people like Trump love to exploit.

Oh, and the broad statistical analyses that do exist aren't exactly encouraging.
