I dont need an imam to interpret the Quran ,its a plain book.

If you're not familiar with the actual events that the rulings in the Qur'an pertain to, you're not qualified to speak on what is and isn't permissible in Islam. But we already knew that, didn't we?
Wafa Sultan never immersed herself in any sort of study of Islamic theology or jurisprudential thought. Her criticisms are of the so-called "Islamic World"; she lacks the knowledge to distinguish between the actual teachings of Islam and the syncretized, jahili version of "Islam" we see practiced more widely today. She and similar writers are chiefly opportunists who use the Wests' ignorant fear to generate book sales.
This book is the most accurate description of the status of Islam today. It's also quite concise for a work of such magnitude:
Ma'alim fi al-Tariq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You aren't being asked to take my word for anything - it can all easily be looked up.-- so says the guy with the Arab sword in his avie.
Sorry, Kalam, but you have no credibility.
Wafa grew up under the thumb of Islam. Her thesis is that Islam hates women because it's "god" hates women.
Burkas are a South Asian phenomenon. What women wear is their prerogative.You can explain the veils and the burkas all you want to by reference to "modesty." That kind of crap gives "conservative" a bad name. It is clear to many of us what the burka truly represents.
I don't know. Most university graduates in Saudi Arabia are women. As I've said, though, information about Islam as it was meant to be practiced can rarely be extrapolated by observing the state of affairs in the so-called Muslim world.How much immersion into the "study" of Islam is available to women in those intolerably oppressive Muslim countries?
You keep accusing me of dishonesty but are never quite able to give specific examples. You can criticize Islam as much as you'd like; your criticisms say more about your preconceived notions than they do about Islam itself. When you don't understand what you're arguing against, your arguments tends to ring hollow.You need to take a breath, Kalam, and give honesty a try someday. The lot in life for women, under Islam, is miserable. It is worse under sharia "law." It is a disgrace and it does reflect the barbarism inherent in the Muslim view of life.
<--- the present Kalam avie with stylized "sword."
Check out a typical "flag" of peace-loving Muslim nations (our pal Saudi Arabia):
Canada? A leaf from a tree.
The United States? Stars and Stripes representing our founding colonies and our states.
How about the hands of Abraham Lincoln on his statue in his Memorial?Some maintain it is American sign language for his initials "A" and "L." Some maintain it is instead a symbolic representation of his desire for peace but his having been compelled to resort to war.
Islamic imagery reveals a good deal more about the intent and purposes of Islam than folks like Kalam like to acknowledge.

If I didn't think the image reflected Islam's true nature, I wouldn't use it.
And, of course...
I'm not the one opposed to the use of violent imagery in flags; that's you.The Virginia Flag has as its major theme the victory over tyrants. I can see why you'd be opposed to that one.
Something must be true if it arguments against it end -- almost without exception -- in expletive-laden drivel.On the other hand, I realize you value the symbolism of Islamic violence.
Fuck Islam. It is dirty, it is diseased and it needs to be clamped-down on -- hard.
I'm not talking about violating the First Amendment, either. I am talking about constant vigilance AGAINST what Islam actually preaches: violence, subjugation and various other social maladies like unabated Allah-approved violent misogyny. Fuck that filthy shit "religion."

Onward christian soldiers....marching as to war....
Like how you've never been able to provide an example of me "lying"?Speaking of which, you are quite adept at ducking questions you can't handle. Don't think it goes unnoticed.
Oh, and I'm not all that opposed to "violent" imagery in flags. I just think some of them are quite telling and very much at odds with the fantasy you like to spread about the joy of peaceful Islam. Pfft. You, and your constant lies, are really quite stale and unpersuasive.

Please quote any post of mine in which I describe Islam as "peaceful" or as a "religion of peace."
Quite stale, huh?

Thanks for clarifying you are not posting facts.
Apparently I struck a nerve...surely an old hymn wasn't THAT powerful a point to make....or.....was it?
