#1 Gee, what a noble people.
If their wife went to the store without permission they would kill her? They must go through a lot of wives over there.

#2 A good woman and a good dog are the only true friends you'll have in this world. No wonder the Muslims are so full of shit.

#3 We just need to convince them that to "cleanse your honor" you need to kill YOURSELF. That would take care of a lot of this B.S.

#4 I nominate Lorena Bobbit for Ambassador for Islamic Relations. It would be amazing to see what a little cultural awareness could do for women's rights in Islamic countries.

#6 And some people still wonder why I hold the Islamofascists in such low regard.

Murderous 7th century ideology that needs purged from this world. Get the youth to be disgusted with Islam and the war is won.

#7 The chief prosecutor of eastern Nangarhar province, who oversaw Rukhma's case, suggested she got off lightly.

"If my wife goes to the bazaar without my permission, I will kill her. This is our culture," Abdul Qayum shouted scornfully.

His colleagues laughed approvingly. "This is Afghanistan, not America," Mr Qayum said.

This sums up what the islamic world think of women and why white women convert to islam is beyond my imagination!?!!!

#8 Because 'that can never happen here'...
or 'he will never do that to me, (I'm special!)'...

or (best yet) 'but their culture is just as good as ours! What are you some kind of racist?'

#9 or (best yet) 'but their culture is just as good as ours! What are you some kind of racist?'

...I'm guilty as charged then. Their fanaticism needs to go one way or another, preferably by some enlightenment but I'm skeptical of that happening.

#10 "If my wife goes to the bazaar without my permission, I will kill her. This is our culture," Abdul Qayum shouted scornfully.

And if she doesn't go, she's killed because there's nothing for dinner---right?

#11 Culture is not the word for it. It isn't "different." It's WRONG. I also vote for extermination over remediation.

#12 This is the Islam that liberals defend. Mostly because they hate Christ.
