Islam: A Religion of the Weak

^.^

While reading some other blogs, I came across a description of muslim women, having to be dressed from head to toe. Even an exposed ankle is enough to bring down severe retribution upon the offending female.

Some rather malicious people in the West might wish that women were in such servitude in their countries, but to me, the practice of covering women from head to toe is one more item that proves that Islam is a religion of the weak, and by this, I mean weak-minded.

A family in Christianity is given some guidelines in Ephesians 5:22 through 6:4. Wives are to recognize that the husband is the head of the family. Husbands are to love their wives as they would Christ. The role of marriage is highlighted, and children must obey their parents.

I realize that I paraphrased the verses, but that is the general gist of it. The point is that there is nothing in those verses about wives being slaves to their husbands, or that wives need to do anything demeaning.

In Islam, the most common reason I have heard for the need of a woman to wear clothing from head to foot is to keep her from tempting a man. For this reason, every inch of the woman's body must be covered...even the ankle.

Imagine, getting aroused from seeing an ankle! Either muslim women are incredibly beautiful, or muslim men are incredibly weak-willed. I tend to believe the second option. The blog article I read told of a girl who was 8 years old being used as a prostitute by her mother. Who was having sex with this girl? What kind of sick mind finds an 8-year old girl sexually attractive?

Everywhere you look, you see muslims in a complete uproar. Why? Because some guy in Denmark held a talent contest to get pictures for a children's book about world religions. Instead of approaching the man with a sensible, even-headed argument about why such pictures should not be published, the local muslim leader promptly demanded a meeting with the Prime Minister of Denmark, and when he was refused, he took the cartoons on a tour of Middle Eastern countries, trying to drum up muslim anger. The result: hordes of angry muslims, frothed up into a murderous frenzy over something that was drawn hundreds of miles away...something that doesn't REALLY affect them. Rather than being out trying to find jobs, these mobs are protesting cartoons.

If the muslims don't get their way, and I'm talking 100% their way, they won't agree to anything, and worse, they'll work themselves into a jihadist frenzy. Hamas recently won the parliamentary elections in the Palestinian Authority, and they have said that they will start talking to Israel ONLY AFTER the Israelis return to their pre-1967 borders, which Israel has said they won't do. Yet Hamas says that the West should not cut off funding for the Palestinian Authority, and that even if this happens, the Palestinian Authority will be able to function.

Not likely.

Everything from Osama bin Laden complaining about the US presence in Saudi Arabia, to the idiots in Iran claiming that the Holocaust didn't happen, to pictures demanding that the Muhammad cartoonist be killed, to almost every article I read about the religion itself, all of these point to one thing...

Islam is a religion whose people are weak-minded, and easily led by the fanatics within their midst. And because of this, the fanatics are who you see and hear the most. In an earlier post, a follower of Islam replied that I did not understand the religion, but given what we see of it in the media, what else am I to think?

I would love to be proven wrong, but every time the maniac president of Iran opens his dumb mouth, it just reinforces my view on Islam.
