| Muslimah only Prom in Minneapolis |
| 2007-06-04 |
| More than 100 Muslim teen girls let their hair down Saturday night. Both literally and figuratively. Muslim girls who wear the headscarf in public slid them off as they walked into the first Minnesota Muslim prom exclusively for girls and women. With no men there, they didn't have to cover up and were free to let loose and dance music, other than religious chants, and dancing, other than specific ritualistic events, are both prohibited in sharia- but I doubt they know this or would even believe it. "I thought it was an awesome idea only Allah is awesome, if you were caught saying this sentence in a Sharia state you would be liable for the death penalty," said Sagirah Shahid, one of the main organizers and president of the Muslim Youth of Minnesota. The event brought together girls and women from all segments of the Muslim community, including Somali, Kenyan, Indian, Pakistani, Malaysian, Sudanese, Lebanese, Palestinian, Jordanian, Egyptian, Moroccan, African-American and Caucasian-American participants. The event was open to girls ages 12 and older, and to women. ....about 200 people attended "It's more like a community prom of all different cultures and ages," said Susan Samaha, 23... " It's just good, innocent, girl fun." She said regular prom is based on dating, which is prohibited in Islamic culture. "I personally think you can have a much better time without guys because you can just let loose and do whatever you want," said Amina Ghouse, a youth group adviser . whereas with guys around you might be beaten and raped and then executed for adultry. "We don't want the girls to feel like they're missing out on the fun of prom," Shahid said. "Prom is like a rite of passage for some people." American Muslim girls often have to come up with creative ways to take the most important values of their two cultures - Islamic and American - and find a middle ground nope - copying the infidel is harem - you would get lashes for this in Sharia] "A lot of times, Muslim girls' fun is limited," Shahid said. actually the Ayattolah Khamenei once said that there should be no fun in Islam - only the business of prayer, charity, jihad, haj, etc. "What we have in common with every other girl is that we just want to feel pretty, be girly and have fun," she said. "We want an excuse to dress like a princess." |

| #16 The Saturday night PROM - Party foR Only Muslimahs, or Muslim girls -- at the University of Minnesota's Coffman Memorial Union provided a chance for the girls to participate in a major high school experience. Coffman is a rental hall on the U of M campus. No mention of who is paying "I'd hate to miss this," said Sabrina Wazwaz, 15, a freshman who goes to Twin Cities Academy in St. Paul. "I think it's really nice how they thought of the Muslim girls who can't go to the American prom, so they made this for us." News for you girl, at 15 which 55 Muslim man would want you? No word from the ACLU? What a surprise. |

| #13 i forgot about taqiyya; i was referring to our own State Dep't's process, but if they got bogus data, then all that follows is bogus. As Srdja Trifkovic points out: New legislation should treat a resident alien’s or prospective visitor’s known or suspected adherence to an Islamic world outlook as excludable – on political, rather than “religious” grounds. The broad model is provided by the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act (INA, the McCarran-Walter Act). It is possible that the “affiliation” in this clause will affect a number of people who do not actively identify with the goals and methods of the Jihadist core. That may be unfortunate but it is inevitable. Personal assurances by individuals thus affected cannot be taken at face value: Islam not only allows, but mandates lying to “infidels” in order to gain political or any other advantage (i.e. Taqiyya, the concealment of one’s Islamic beliefs to non-Muslims). The problem is well known to INS officials: attitudes of Muslims who apply for U.S. visas or asylum often change once their status in America is secure. When applying they complain about the lack of freedom in their native country. When they gain permanent residence, let alone citizenship, they often turn against their host nation and praise the virtues of an Islamic state. In addition, even “lapsed” Muslims are at permanent risk of going back to their roots, as many Western-born youths are doing.Muslims simply cannot be trusted. Those who are most dangerous to America will take the very greatest pains to conceal any threat they pose. This is why the only safe thing to do is deport all immigrant Muslims and either set up internment camps for American Muslim citizens or deport them as well. Islam's core ideology is wholly antithetical to American constitutional law and directly supports both treason and sedition against the United States. This cannot be tolerated. Are such deportations fair? Not to all involved. Is it fair that we must be compelled to allow violent traitors to settle in our midst? Absolutely not! If people wish to adopt Islam, they must do so with the implicit understanding that Western culture will view them as an enemy to centuries of progress. |

| #10 i believe there is some sort of vetting process that is supposed to weed out the bad actors. I wish that I could commend your sense of generosity, USN. Ret., but I can't. There is no effecting vetting process. Taqiyya guarantees that. Beyond that single license to lie is the Koran itself, which every faithful Muslim must accept wholeheartedly as the word of their God. The Koran exhorts all faithful Muslims to commit violence against us Infidels at every turn. Its doctrine is one of prejudice, violence, theft, rape and collective punishment for all non-Muslims. Islam has no place in pluralistic America, period. The world's most intolerant religion is an affront to everything this country stands for. Islam's explicit goal is to destroy government of the people, by the people and for the people. That translates to the destruction of democracy, Islam's avowed enemy. You may be willing to tolerate that, but I most certainly am not. |

| #9 Zenster: I would qualify your first statement to only those 'illegal immagrant muslims,' simply because i believe there is some sort of vetting process that is supposed to weed out the bad actors. (there is enough material there for an entire topic of its own) other than that, i completely agree. |

| #7 That's what I call a "target-rich environment". And I aint talking about bomb targets -- wink, wink. I'm just a big cat meat fan. |

| #6 PS: As an enactment of Shari'a law, this event should be illegal. |

| #5 If this was done without using taxpayer money, then fine. Although it still is a perfect example of non-assimilation. My patience for this crapulence is at an end. All immigrant Muslims need to be deported immediately. They should be swept up along with all illegal aliens and ejected forthwith. The elite class' dogged determintation that all cultures should be equally "meltable" in this nation's cultural stewpot is rapidly involving the direct betrayal of America and it people. |
