Nahla - he does not espouse equality. He agrees with the Iranian treatment of women - inc. stoning. You're trying to educate a sociopath. Can't be done.

I've learned a lot from your posts. Of course, I'm not a sociopath. Many Muslims in the U.S. have assimilated and contributed to our culture. But those that want a theocracy are traitors IMHO and should be condemned by all. Unfortunately, many are afraid of being called "Islamophobes". I'm not. There is nothing "irrational" or "bigoted" in rejecting oppression and human slavery.
Well American Muslim's must be doing something right. They identify as much with being American as with being a Muslim
Mohamed Younis, senior analyst at the Abu Dhabi Gallup Center, summed up the findings of the new report titled "Muslim Americans: Faith, Freedom and the Future." "Muslim Americans are just that -- they're Americans. They care a lot about their faith, but they also care a lot about their country," he said.

"What we find are that Muslim Americans identify equally with the United States as they do with their religion," he said.
About 7 out of 10 Muslim Americans said they "very strongly" or "extremely strongly" identified with the United States, and a similar number expressed the same about Islam.
Researchers found that majorities of each major religious group surveyed said they do not believe that Muslim Americans sympathize with al-Qaida terrorists, but many also said Muslims need to speak out more against terrorism.
As for quality of life, Muslim Americans were the most optimistic about the future of all of the groups surveyed.

Researcher Mohamed Younis said Muslim Americans often are closest to Jewish Americans in their social and political views.
"Now, Jewish Americans are more likely than Catholics, Protestants and Mormons to see Muslims as loyal to the United States. They are also in agreement with Muslim Americans -- and more likely than Catholics, Protestants and Mormons -- to believe that Muslims in the U.S. have no sympathy for the al-Qaida terrorist organization. They're actually more likely than Muslim Americans to say that the Muslims in the U.S. experience a lot of prejudice. And then Jewish and Muslim Americans are two of the most likely religious groups to also say that the Iraq War was a mistake," Younis said.
Panelist Imam Mohamed Magid said he was surprised by the findings.
"We work with the Jewish community very closely in many ways, but, for example, the percentage of Jewish Americans who have the same view of the Iraq War and other things like that, I was whispering to David, actually, I said, 'that's very surprising,'" he said.
The imam was referring to fellow panelist, Rabbi David Saperstein, who said he believes there are many reasons for the similar perceptions.
"Jews view themselves as the quintessential victims of religious persecution in the history of the world over the last 3,000 years, and therefore often identify with those who are subject to religious persecution and discrimination," Saperstein said.
Study: American Muslims Identify with US, Islam Equally | USA | English
Throughout Europe, most Christians think of themselves primarily in terms of their national identity. Fully 90% of French Christians take this view. The clear exception is the U.S., where Christians are divided: 46% primarily identify as American and 46% as Christian. Seven-in-ten white evangelical Christians in the U.S. identify first with their religion.

What, not going to claim this is all western propoganda?
What you posted does not change the fact that Iran is a democracy with an elected parliament.
The only point that I disagree with in your list of grievances against Iranian sharia law.
Is girls being forced to marry.
Islamicly, a girl should be able to say yes or no to a man who wants to marry her.
Everything else I wholeheartedly agree with.![]()
Thank you for that useful post.
Why would I want to listen to a Priest and a non-Muslim explain Islam?
Plus I doubt that he has anything to say that I haven't heard before many times.
Nahla, Would you be willing to listen to a Muslim Imam explain Christianity??
Sunni, I know many soldiers who have returned from Irac and Afghanistan.
I'm told there are tons of prostitutes available and a lot of gambling going on there. They also say that the men use woman for child bearing only. The majority of muslin men like to suck dick and take it up the ass.
Did you know that?

My, my. It seems Sunni man has a new ally in his crusade against women. Is "alexa" your real name? Lol
Ha ha. I guess anyone who supports women's rights is "xenophobic" and "orejudiced" then. The fact that you would agree with a misogynist who believes in stoning adulterers is what I would call "brainless hot air" or more simply "fucked up' You can put that in your notebook.

and that does have significance when you look at who American Christians identify with
Throughout Europe, most Christians think of themselves primarily in terms of their national identity. Fully 90% of French Christians take this view. The clear exception is the U.S., where Christians are divided: 46% primarily identify as American and 46% as Christian. Seven-in-ten white evangelical Christians in the U.S. identify first with their religion.
Muslim-Western Tensions Persist | Pew Global Attitudes Project
I have only just listened to the OP. The Sharia Law which the man says America already has is
1. The right to life
2. The Right to Liberty
3. The Right to Freedom of Religion
4. The Right to Family
5. The Right to Property
6. The Right to Mental well being.
he compares this to the US declaration of Independence which says
All are created equal
have certain rights, among which are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness
I am at a loss how something so simple and so positive could have turned into yet another Muslim hate thread.
America is more in danger of becoming a Fundamental Christian State.
"Women's rights advocates" should care about the rights of ALL women - inc. Muslim women. Cheerleading for a "separate but equal" educational, legal, and financial system is misogynistic and fucked up. You can put that one in your notebook too.
You may do that. In PRIVATE schools.
And if they allow prayer, they will be shut down. Treat your girls like second class citizens on your own dime.
