Fascinating analogy. Is this a fiction or non-fiction book, nick? I just finished Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and I need something chewy to sink my teeth into. I was thinking about re-reading Carnage and Culture, but I should repair the binding first.
its a non fiction book about this women who traveled the middle east and mediterainian for several years and wrote about her experiences and the different things she learned about in those regions and cultures....apperently my wife looked up a bunch of things she wrote about and she seems to be pretty on point....im going to give it a wirl when my wife is done with it...:joint:

Islam, as it is routinely practiced and preached, is pretty bassackwards, considering the progress humans have made in regard to equality of the sexes. To the point where disdain of the entire religion is acceptable, in my opinion. If they want to hold the views they do, regarding inferiority of women, fine. But to consider them, muslims as a group, on par with freedom loving humans, who see their mothers, sisters, and daughters as equals, seems irrational. They are truly inferior beings, the majority of died in the wool muslim men, with an oppressive mentality which they wish to spread. No wonder Libs always defend them.
Were trying to view the religion, not the people who embody it, that is a whole different thread. Where your proof that inferiority of woman is a mantra of Islam

Just be careful where you go, and don't let 'em catch you with a Bible. :shock: (not kidding)

Edited to add: If I remember what little Indonesian I was taught, Mohon = please, terima kasi = thank you. I've always felt that if you can't learn ANY other words in the language of the country you're visiting, at least learn to say please and thank you.

URUMQI, China - Police shut down the bustling bazaar in the capital of China's restive Muslim region of Xinjiang on Friday amid threats from an Islamic group that attackers might target buses, trains and planes during the Olympics.

With all the post 9/11 discussion b/s on here, thought this might be another interesting discussion
Having studied religion/philosophy for a while during a degree I was studying I believe Islam is only different in that it chooses Mohammed as its prophet. It is also the only religion that states that all working Muslims must give 10% of their wage to be shared out amongst the poor, hence no homeless muslims in Europe! Cant speak for N.America!:joint: BUt to directly answer the topic, All religions have extremists of some sort or another, another view is that extremists come from all backgrounds and then get labeled by their religion.

What the difference between Tibet and Xinjiang, both are seeking independence from china

The independece movement in Xinjiang dosent deserve autonomy because they are muslim?

You might say they use terrorism as a tactic...................but didn't jews use terrorism in the holy land to expel the brittish in the 1920's and 1930's.....................didn't we the U.S. use terrorism ie. Shermans march to the sea in the civil war......................................is judasim an evil force or is christianity an evil force

Misunderstood, except the radical factions. We have our own radical factions: IE Cheney, Rumsfeld, all the Bush idealogs.
