#1 High moral standards? They beat their wives, and unless there are 4 adult male witnesses, may rape at will. They live in economic squalor because they don't believe in interest rates. They fight with neighboring countries and act like they own any country who has the misfortune of allowing residence to those slugs. Islam set back human development by hundreds of years.

#2 If Islam wanted to make a REALLY positive impact on the West, all the muzzies would go back to their hellholes of ancestral origin. That would be the best thing they could do for the West or anyplace else they infest.

#4 He does have a point. The positive impact on the west is that it has started to make westerners realize that their current state of affairs will lead to their extinction.

#5 How does he answer this:

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.

#6 Muslims put women in sacks so they won't be molested by their men who have no self-control.
Americans let their women wear whatever they want, including .38 S&W so they won't be molested by their men who have no self-control.
Muslims kill their women who commit adultery.
Americans kill the men who commit adultery with their women.
Which better asserts women's rights?

#8 Islam's contributions to Western culture are many and varied, including setting high moral standards, asserting women's rights, and promoting good citizenship, according to Mashhad Al-Allaf.

Aren't people's heads supposed to explode when they utter such blatant horseshit? If not, it needs to be arranged.

Islam's only positive impact on the West has been in the area of weapons design.

#9 ...cited numerous verses from the Qur'an, the Islamic holy book, to support his assertion that Islam has been a positive influence on culture.

Oh. Well. If it's in the Koran...

#10 Actually, the good doctor failed to note that the Islamic clergy would also have issued a fatwa allowing Katie's male relatives to kill her to preserve the family honor.

But he is correct that Islam offers women certain rights. The right to be considered some man's property for as long as she lives, the right to get raped if she goes out like "uncovered meat", the right to inherit half as much as her brothers, and the right to have her court testimony to be valued half as much as a man's.

I think I'll keep my infidel rights, thankyouverymuchsir.

#11 Redneck Jim, my great-grandpa was caught under a neighbor-lady's house when her husband arrived home unexpectedly and he fled. He was shot and killed with a 10 gage shotgun. Grand jury declined to indict. Rape was never an issue.

#12 the immorality of actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes having a child out of wedlock

Gee. Terrorism vs. Tom Cruise. Hmm.

#14 Listen up Rantburgs, Listen to what the Lord says.
God tried to tell the world.
Many would not listen.

Do you think that it was an accident that Ishmael was kicked out of the family of Abraham for mocking Issaic the true heir of Abraham?

Do you think that it was an accident that the Lord said to Hagar (Ishmael mother) " his hand against every man, every man against his" ?

Do you think that it was an accident that the second son of Ishmael was the phrophet muhammed? Lower case int.

Do you think. Tap Tap Tap. Pay attention

Do you think that the words of the Almighty God to Ezeiekl about a coming battle against Israel
headed by Russia and with islamic nations in tow are an accident? Recorded 1,200 years before islam was invented.

Gods battle has always been between good and evil.

Bible study over, class dismissed.

PS word police and spelling Nazi please piss off.

#15 As a side note. Thank you Trailing Wife for your kind comment yesterday.. It is my faith in God Almighty that keeps me strong. The Holy Spirit is so strong inside me, you would be blown away at some things that have happened. God Bless all on this Holy of Holy days.
Amen.
