| The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is apt to spread discontent among those who are. ~ H.L. Mencken |

Did you just compare a game that was created centuries ago exclusive to men, to the religious teaching about beating your wife still being exercised today? Quite the stretch of moral relativism. |

no....my point was that 'christian' countries went through the same thing.....and it seeped into the rest of cultural underpinings.......but now it is 2010 and things are much different....just in a different way......dont worry that CRAP spewwed out of the twisted muslim teachings will also get meted out... we will be able to watch and give them pointers along the way......we are too young to explicitly remember our past......
BTW.....there are subtle differences between beating your wife with a physical rod and beating your wife with mind belittling words......wouldn't you agree? |

I can honestly say, I am thoroughly confused. |

Give me a break. Where do you find this $hit. I just sent this to a friend of mine who is a Muslim woman and she sent it back LOL! No more domestic abuse there than there is in Italy or in the Catholic community. |

So your Muslim friend keeps a scorecard between Muslim and Italian Catholic domestic violence? Interesting... Graphic images. Viewer discretion is advised!!http://www.middle-east-info.org/gateway/womenchildabuse/#beatingwife |

Granted, it's not world wide, but there can be no denying that in some countries, Muslim women are stoned to death for adultery, and young women are severely punished for being raped, while the males involved are portrayed as victims. |

The American tradition of feeding our kids cake and ice cream at a birthday party may be an excuse to eat cake and ice cream, but it's still tradition followed by milions and culturally acceptable. Even though it may contribute to obesity, we still mindlessly do it.
Tradition - Religion - the words are interchangable. Capitalism and commercialization of religious tradition is probably a huge contirbutor to moderating religious Christian dogma. Companies marketing religious holidays for profit forces a moderating of the narrow religious meanings, so not to offend, and attract the largest possible number of consumers.
Once I see a half price sale advertised for Ramadon at Macy's, then I will know Muslims are moderating and moving out of the dark ages. |

CHA-CHING.....so if anyone thinks the World Trade Center is from a religious stand point they are sadly mistaken.....the best way to make friends is to buy them, pretend you are their 'protectors' and talk with them....... THERE IS NO HOLY GROUND AT THE 9/11 SITE AND THERE IS NO HOLY GROUND FOR A MOSQUE TO BUILT UPON........ as for beating one's wife via the muslim view or the christian or jewish view...I'm SURE there are examples that abound.......after all it is/was a tradition....... |

Hey boomer, has your Muslim friend ever invited you to Mecca or Medina? Your Muslim friend should show you the ultra tolerance and all inclusiveness of the Muslim faith by giving you an up close and personal tour of Mecca. I'm sue you would be well recieved as a non Muslim. |
