nothing like the religion of peace to brighten your day. izzzlam is a cancer.

Yet another example of why no mythology should have any place in government in any form. Not in Saudi, not in the US.

Mythologies are invented purely to control the masses.

They’re getting really serious about crime in Saudi Arabia, as evidenced by this edict, seen for the first time today….

1. You may only behead 1 infidel per month.
2. You may only perform 2 genital mutilations on female family members per month. (Unlimited stonings are allowed, however)
3. You shall not f*ck your neighbor’s goat more than 7 times per month. (His sheep and camels are fair game, however)
4. You may not watch, read or listen to any Western Media. (Dr. MaryFatA$$’s blog is acceptable, though)

Of course the wives do not have the right
to slap back

These are the type of guys that Obama wants to buddy up with at every chance. Part of that theory of Obama’s that we are not a Christian nation and tells us about all the good that Muslims have done for us. Yeah right. Obama is as confused about priorities as these idiot muslim extremists are.

kmichaels   May 11th, 2009 - 8:00 pm

So Don, tell us the evils of Christians wanting to do good to all of mankind, to visit the poor, the widows, the fatherless. Yes, Don is convinced that Christians are as evil as muslim extremists. However, Don is clueless as h-ell and there is just no getting around it.

grik   May 11th, 2009 - 8:11 pm

Obama wants to buddy up with?! These are the guys the our government has been in bed with since the Regans and before. They are personal friends of the Bush family.

Nobody is suprised they slap their wives around with impunity and worse. Cheney probably traded torture methods with them over coffees.

And actually I don’t care if they slap their wives or not. State relationships should be based on our self interest not how they manage their society.

So, I’m still waiting for gloria steinem and the other fem libs’ reaction about this latest proclomation from the sharia “justice”(sound of crickets chirping). But by golly that Rush Limbaugh better not make a joke about how ugly the hags are, that would be OFFENSIVE. I’m starting to think there may just be a place in America for Wahabbe style rules and regulations, if that blond I want won’t look at me, I’ll just stone her, all perfectly legal, in fact it could even be a crime to NOT slap her. Where’s the NAG’s response?

Don   May 11th, 2009 - 9:29 pm

kmichaels,

I’m not even going to begin to list the ridiculous amount of atrocities that have been performed under the guise of Xianity. Don’t even pretend to claim your mythology is known for its’ kindness. Xians have slaughtered more people than any other mythology.

MUSLIM HAWAII ALLOWS SLAPPING THE SHI! OUT WOMEN   May 11th, 2009 - 10:57 pm

ANYONE?

Wife spanking is a fad that comes and goes,Once shes all punch drunk and confused they bring it back.

Might I remind the ignorant Republicans here that it was GEORGIE who not only held hands with and KISSED Saudi princes (there are photos of them strolling), but calls one of them “Bandar Bush”??

That it was GEORGIE who famously informed us all, ca. 9/12/01, that “Islam is a religion of peace”?

That was GEORGIE who allowed members of the Bin Laden family to fly home to Saudi Arabia when no other planes could fly, in 2001?

That it IS STILL POPPY BUSH who is a business partner with the Bin Ladens, in the Carlyle Group?

MrsTT   June 30th, 2009 - 4:08 pm

Tell me, Don – do modern-day Christians commit atrocities like 9-11 and Mumbai?
Do they regularly behead innocent people in the name of God? Do they take
hostages, hate Israel, or teach their children hate and encourage them to
be suicide bombers?

Is mistreating women an accepted practice condoned by the elders of the church?
Are they completely intolerant of other religions? Are they still to this day
fighting among themselves and killing each other like animals?

No?

I didn’t think so.

Bridget   June 30th, 2009 - 4:43 pm

I don’t really care about what Christians did five hundred years ago; I care about what Moslems are doing today, insofar as it affects me. I’m amazed at the number of people who don’t appear to understand this fact: A seventh-century death cult has declared war on western culture. It has nothing to do with Israeli foreign policy; that’s a canard. It is and always has been about the forcible implementation of Islamic law worldwide. The history of Islam is a history of bloodshed and forced conversions. Moslems are not capable of peaceful, equitable coexistence with non-Moslems. Once a Moslem population establishes itself in a host country, it begins making demands upon that country that NO Moslem country would ever accede to.

MrsTT   June 30th, 2009 - 7:17 pm

Bridget – you summed it up better than I ever could. My thoughts exactly.

You realize that makes us both “haters” – right?

JimM   June 30th, 2009 - 7:38 pm

I wonder if Obambi struck Michelle over the NYC Flyover?

jjc   June 30th, 2009 - 9:29 pm

At least she bought something to cover her bruises.

What do you tell a woman that has two black eyes? Nothing if you have already told her twice what good

would is a third.

Mark S.   July 1st, 2009 - 9:47 am

It’s high time we told the Muslims to shut up and get with the program. Modernity will not and can not take a back seat to these primitive and outdated ideas. Sharia law is absurd. A culture that treats women worse than dogs is a poison on all the world’s people and should be wiped out! Send them all back to the desert slums they came from and make room for peace and progress in the modern world.
