Are you ok with Muslim refugees moving in next to you in the US?

Wtf. The women arent forced idiot. And most guys Muslim or Non-Muslim want a women thats covered up!!!! Cry all you want, any guy who really loves his women doesnt want her to show off her body to every other guy so those other men can check them out as sex objects. If you dont believe me ask guys on this forum who have wives that arent muslim. Ive heard it so many times from non muslims at school or at the gym. No real man wants his wife to be everyones eye candy. What does a women gain from showong off her tits and ass to everyone else?? Besides guys whispering to each other "check out that bitches ass" or the most famous one i always hear "damn that bitch is bad." My friend recently broke up with his girlfriend because she refused to cover up herself. Come on guys let me hear your opinions on here, would you rather have a women that shows off her body to everyone? Or would you rather have a girl that covers up and shows herself only to you? Islam teaches a woman to be modest, nothing wrong with that.
You're a little off on this one Ahmad90. There's even a thread on here with guys showing off their wives.

Yea none of those guys really loves their wife...remember there a lot more people that im sure that DIDNT PARTICIPATE IN SHAMING THEIR WIVES. I wouldnt be surprised if only .05% of forum members posted pics in there. And that proves many treat them as sex objects. Who cares what everyones wife looks like? Is it a contest to see who has the best looking wife..? Seriously? Is a woman an object that should be judged only by looks? Youre judging the majority based on a post by the minority.

What you don't get is a real man isn't so insecure that forces his wife into a body bag because he's afraid someone might look at her.

What you also don't get is that it doesn't matter what YOU want. A women's body is hers to do with whatever the hell she wants. If she wants to wear a bathing suit, that's her choice. If she doesn't want to live her life as a prisoner wrapped in a bed sheet without ever being able to feel the sun on her face, as NO ONE would, that's her choice. You don't like it? TFB.

So only your ideology is right and anyone else with other views is wrong? Why are all high class women and women in power covered up? The Queen? The first lady? Look at all the pictures of the Virgin Mary? Because they dont want to be seen as sex objects...

Whos that suppose to be? You cant even see their face and thats one pic and i wouldnt be surprised if that was before being first lady. How much searching did that take lol...Anyway, the insecure excuse is dumb. I havent forced anyone to cover their face so idk what you talkin about. None of my sisters wear hijab and i have said anything to them....My wife covered herself and acted modest before marriage so thats why i chose her. No one is forcing anyone except you. You claim i force women to cover up, i claim you force women to show off for your piggish hunger to see some skin. I claim guys arent men for treating women as sex objects and wanting every girl to dress less and you claim that women who cover up have done so because they are forced and are "prisoners" (Lmao). It is a womans choice. In reality its people like YOU who force women to dress differently so you can benefit. You make women feel like their being controlled if they dress modestly and you give the notion that if they dress like sluts they will be free (Youre obv a feminist). Stop forcing your beliefs on people. If everyone just lets women make their own choices they would cover up, but because theyve been treated like shit and sex objects by these past few generations, they dress like they do now. Anyway, just dont pressure anyone into your ideology.
 


All the woman on the right could do is cry about what she believes as opposed to letting people live their lives the way they want. Typical feminist trash always forcing their ideologies and claiming it will be for the best. The point the woman on the left makes at the end is very true and you cant deny that. In reality this objectification of women being sex objects allows big businesses to make $$$$ off all these poor women being told they have to look a certain way which is oppression.
 
San Bernardino Attack Eye-Witness: "Three Tall White Men Did It"

Shepard Ambellas via Intellihub.com,

A few interesting details have surfaced regarding Wednesday’s mass shooting dubbed ‘terror attack’ which killed 14 and injured 17 others. One of the most interesting comes from an eyewitness.

We now know that ATF investigators recovered http://www.infowars.com/fiorina-san-bernardino-shooters-gun-bought-for-police/ firearms from the alleged shooters. This key detail was leaked by 2016 GOP Presidential Candidate Carly Fiorina during a press interview after she had overheard a newsroom report that doesn’t fit the official narrative.

We also know that active shooter drills actually took place near the crime scene just days before and possibly even on the same day of the mass shooting as reported by Mac Slavo.

Additionally details from an eyewitness, who came forth on the day of the shooting, may have been overlooked by investigators and suggest that there were actually ‘three white shooters’ instead of the radicalized husband and wife natural-born killer team portrayed in some mainline reports.

The witness, Sally Abdelmageed, worked at Inland Medical Center where the attack took place and saw it all unfold firsthand. It’s also important to note that Abdelmageed is likely not lying and that this quite possibly might be the most accurate eyewitness account publicized to date. After all how can two shooters, a man and a petite woman, be mistaken for three white military men with athletic builds?

LMFAO I read in the National Enquirer that Elvis and Johnny Cash did it. June was driving the getaway vehicle.
 
They shouldnt be used as examples of the religion they claim to be.

We're talking at each other rather than with each other. I'm just trying to find some common ground. It's a simple question, Ahmed - how should apostates from Islam be treated?

BTW, please use paragraphs. It's too hard to read a wall of text.

Idk? You cant treat any entire group the same. Im not sure what answer youre looking for. I mean if someone is a rapist or a murderer or a theif they should all receive the punishment deserved for their crime regardless of what religion/belief they belong to.

New York Times reported it was George and Laura Bush (she was wearing a bikini) with Dick Cheney driving the getaway vehicle. obama immediately labeled it a Christian terrorist act and hillary had her first orgasm. Bernie Sanders calls for nationalized Christian churchs.

There was a shooting drill 2 weeks prior to the incident, and there was one planned in a couple weeks. No shooting drills were that day, I have a friend that works there and she was there that day in a different building. She didn't see the shooters or anything.

I thought the whole article was ridiculous, and CBS had the right response to it. I posted it on another forum this morning, and some of them are taking it seriously.

I honestly don't trust many people, the news nor a single eye witness. Did you see the Sandy Hook conspiracy videos? I don't believe it was a conspiracy, I just think there are some interesting things in the videos if it is true.

Same here. Many of these conspiracies sound so fake but others sound so damn real. Sometimes stories that the media tells us sound so fake and makes them look like the conspiracists. This situation so far doesnt look too much like a conspiracy since only one witness said that, but one thing that makes this situation a little odd is; where is the video evidence?? What kind of office building doesnt have secuirty cameras?
 
Moderate Muslims Have Hit Their “Wall”
December 7, 2015 by Daniel Fincke

Below is a guest article by Suraiya Simi Rahman, MD, reprinted from her Facebook page with her permission. She is a doctor and an ex-Muslim who has lived in Bangladesh, the UAE and Pakistan. She practices pediatrics in Los Angeles. Facebook has improperly removed her original posting of this article for allegedly violating their community standards. Before being censored her post was shared over 2,000 times on Facebook.




How do you tell a radical homicidal Muslim from a moderate peace loving one?

Every Muslim humanist is asking themselves this question I first asked myself in September 2001.

And here is my train of thought.

The 9/11 hijackers reminded me of boys I had gone to school with in Dubai in the 80s and 90s. They were the same age, background, and modern enough to have listened to 80s pop and chased girls. Meaning that just like most young people in the Muslim world, we weren’t that religious.

So, I thought, maybe I could locate the differences between them and me, and at some point I would identify a breakaway point. Something they would do that I never would. And it took me a while to realize this, and now with the California shootings, it has reaffirmed for me, that indeed, when it comes to being able to tell a moderate from a radical in Islam, you can’t.

You really can’t tell until the moment before they pull the trigger, who is moderate and who is jihadi. Tashfeen has broken our moderate backbone, by revealing that she lived among us, unnoticed, normal, experiencing motherhood, enveloped in our secure community and yet, had radicalized.

And that’s the problem, that there are many others like her with exactly the same beliefs, who may not have been ignited yet by a radical cleric, but if the opportunity presented itself, they would follow. They’re like a dormant stick of dynamite, waiting for the fuse to be lit. The TNT is already in there.

What’s it made of? Not the 5 pillars, belief, charity, prayer, fasting and pilgrimage. Not the sayings of the prophet as to how to lead a good and just life. Not the celebration of Eid ul Fitr.

It possibly glimmers through in the fealty that Allah demands during the Eid ul Adha, when Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son as a sign of his superior faith is commemorated in a sacrifice and celebration very much like the American Thanksgiving, with family and food. But without the football. And oh yes, the fratricide.

It is there in the silence one must maintain during prayer, brooking no interruptions, because it would make the prayer invalid. It is there in the severity of the hijab when it is followed to a tee. Not a hair can show. It is there in the forced separation of men and women at social gatherings.

It is present in every act that is performed that excludes us from the mainstream. It is present in the very concept of Us and Them. Because the only way we remain Us is to reject Them. The only way to be an exemplary Us is to reject westernization at every turn. Halal only is a sham, constructed out of this notion of meat that has been cut a certain way. It’s the same meat. And yet there is a magical difference that people will attest to in all seriousness.

I went deep into the Midwest, wore a hijab for a year and lived there for 8 years. In that time, I attended ISNA gatherings, met with educated, professional people like myself who were also asking the same questions. They were looking to their faith for answers. And sure, there were efforts made to modernize Islam, but they were only superficial. We couldn’t do it. We couldn’t do it because there is a logical dilemma at the core of Islam. And that is, that the Quran is the last word of God, that it is perfect and unchangeable. And to even suggest such a thing is blasphemy and apostasy.

And so, to understand the moderate mind, you have to envision it on a continuum from radical to middle, but the closer you get to liberal, there is a wall. It creeps up on you, in the condemnation of homosexuality, in the unequal treatment and subjugation of women, but it’s there. Beyond that wall that they are afraid to look over, for fear of eternal hell fire and damnation, is where the answer lies though. So being a Muslim moderate these days is like running a race with a ball and chain attached to your feet. A handicap. Unless you can imagine what the world beyond that wall looks like, you can’t really navigate it. If you’re so terrified of blasphemy that you refuse to look over, you’re forever stuck. Right here. And behind you is the jihadi horde, laying claim to real Islam, practicing it to perfection, as it is laid out in the Quran. A veritable rock and a hard place. I feel your pain. I’ve been there. And it was untenable.

I read, discussed, debated alongside many good Muslim young people from all over the world, in Internet forums, trying to argue our way to a solution, much like we are doing on social media right now. I knew I rejected the homophobia, I knew I rejected the subjugation of women. And it all remained a theory until I saw it in practice. In the drawing rooms of the Midwestern professional moderate Muslim.

There was the discussion of whether the verse that allows a man to strike his wife instead actually means that he should strike her with a feather. As a doctor, I am a humanist first, and so the blatant homophobia was irrational, dangerous and something I stopped tolerating politely. I attended presentations at the mosque of videos from the Palestinian Territories, played to rouse the outrage of the gathered congregation. And that’s when the absurdity started to really hit home.

What in the world were we doing? We were training our children to kowtow without questioning an authority that we believed would keep them safe from evil western ways. And so the community’s children went to Sunday school, wore hijab, prayed and fasted. They were enveloped in a Muslim identity that was unlike any that I had experienced before.

I was raised in a Muslim country in the Middle East and religion was something we kept in its place, somewhere after school, soccer and cartoons. Here was a more distilled, pure and, most dangerously, a context-free Islam. There were no grandmothers here to sagely tell us which parts of the Quran to turn a blind eye to. There were no older cousins here who skipped Friday prayers and goofed off with their friends instead. Oh no. This was Islam simmered in a sauce of Midwestern sincerity, and boiled down to its dark, concentrated core. This was dangerous.

As my children grew older, I grew more afraid. I had tolerated their father’s insistence on sending them to Sunday school, where mostly they played and learned a few surahs. But as they grew older I knew it would change. A sincerity would creep in to their gaze, teenage rebellion would find just cause in judging your less religious parents as wanting and inferior. Bad Muslims. How many teenagers have started to wear hijab before their own mothers? I’ve lost count. Mothers who found themselves in this dilemma would choose to join their child on this journey. They would cover too, and as such offered a layer of protection from the ideology by offering perspective.

I worried though, about the Internet, about radical recruiters posing as friends, finding willing and malleable clay in our unformed children. For we would keep them unformed. We would shield them from western influences in order to protect them, only to create a rift that could be exploited as an entry point. We would in essence be leaving our children vulnerable to radicalization.

And that is exactly what has been happening. The young girls from Europe and the US who have traveled to Syria to join ISIS, have done so because they’re looking for what all teenagers are looking for, a sense of identity, to differentiate themselves from their parents and find a separate identity, the thrill of rebellion, adventure. They can’t date, drink or dance, so they might as well Daesh.

This thought is what drove me to scale that wall. I dropped prayer, stopped feeling guilty for not praying. I drank alcohol, in moderation like most people do in the west, and I didn’t instantly turn into an alcoholic. I dropped the need to cover to my ankles and wrists, and wore regular clothes. Bacon. I mean, seriously, it’s bacon, I don’t have to explain how good it was. I turned to look back at the wall from the other side, and it was…a relief. A relief to lose that fear of apostasy. To realize there was no such thing, it was purely in my mind. The ideas that had worn a groove in my mind, the guilt, the anxiety, the self flagellation for being a bad Muslim, all were gone.

And now, looking in the rear view mirror, I cannot recall what that felt like. I can’t recall what believing used to feel like, because it’s not as if there’s an absence. It’s not like I miss it. No, in its place has come a more robust understanding of humanity, philosophy, history, human nature and yes, even of religion. A realization that the future is everything.

That there is no heaven or hell. Or rather, we no longer need a heaven and a hell to curb us into moral behavior. We have evolved. We know more of the universe, too much to be afraid of it anymore. We know more of this earth, and we know that every human being is made of exactly the same material. There is no Us, no Them. There is only We. We need to move on. We need to break free. We need to scale the wall so we can push back against the forces that seek to snatch our children’s minds and bodies. We need to protect them, we need to inhabit our own intelligence instead of surrender it in the service of an archaic structure of beliefs that make absolutely no sense to follow in this day and age.

We have to break the chains in our own minds in order to do any of this. And it is scary. Especially when you’ve believed your whole life in the concept of blasphemy. Especially when you know that to openly come out and reject these beliefs would be to risk alienation, to be ostracized and maligned, rejected and alone. And in many cases, dangerous to your own person.

So maybe that is where we should start. By encouraging Muslims to create safe spaces to challenge the logical fallacies and inconsistencies, not between translation to translation, but between Islam and the modern world.

Peter Janecki, who created a machine that converts sewage into clean drinkable water and energy, noted in his TEDMED talk recently that he had to zoom out and look at it not as a garbage problem, but as an energy problem. He had to make the problem bigger in order to come up with a solution.

And I think it’s the same with Islam. We have to make the problem bigger. Instead of minimizing, we need to blow it up big and examine it and let go of this idea that a sacred text is unchangeable. Or unquestionable. We have to look at it instead as a humanism problem. Is Islam, in the way it is practiced and preached, humanistic enough? In that does it respect the personhood of a human being enough, and if it doesn’t, then what can we do about it.

We have to make it ok to walk away. We have to come out of this closet and into the light. Because none of us are safe anymore. And none of the old bandages will hold much longer before it becomes a full on carnage that we only have ourselves to blame for.

I did see them. I tend to avoid focusing on conspiracy theories, at least the ones related to current events. There are facts, and there are reasons, and there are lies and speculation. What I focus on are how those things will be used, and how the resulting actions will affect my family and me.

Correct. The problem with most conspiracy theories is the people claiming them back their way into them by cherry picking facts, speculation, etc to make the theory work while omitting everything that shoots down the theory. That's the exact opposite of sound reasoning.
