Why would I want a) to become a Muslim and b) to become a Muslim where Sharia law is practised?

Honestly, some people seem not to realise that a) I'm a pretty hardcore atheist and b) what happens within a distant country's borders, whilst being worthy of derisory comment, is no business of mine and not really that important to me (given that it is a foreign domestic cultural norm that doesn't impact on my life one iota). This is part of the culture of Iran and parts of Nigeria & Pakistan, etc. They need to grow out of this. Modern progressive Islam is not like this and that is what's important. This does not affect the west in any way, shape or form so, whilst worthy of a 'That's deplorable.', one can acknowledge that thankfully the only Islamic Republic in the world is that of Iran (and to a certain extent northern Nigeria) and their laws impact on no-one but themselves - through THEIR OWN CHOOSING. The fact is that the formation of an Islamic Republic in Iran with massive popular support should be accepted, even though we may find Sharia law archaic - they chose it so live and let live. Political evolution is a slow process. The west is on one side, Amazon tribes on the other - Iran is somewhere in between.

I think you people miss the point of lowing and some of us.  You guys keep thinking we think it is all muslims or something.  Funny, but no.  What pisses me off is I see no outrage from muslims over this stuff.  I do not see demonstrations over shit like this.  But oh no if we do something, then all hell breaks loose.
Muslims must prove that they don't approve of this type of behavior?  Just Muslims on here, or Muslims in the U.S., or what?  Regardless, out of sight does not mean it does not exist (Muslims denouncing this type of barbaric thought/practice).  Will you let them know how much demonstration is enough to appease (uh oh!) you?

Westboro Baptists - not Christianity, despite inference.  How many Christians do we need to organize and demonstrate before we realize this?
I hear more crying and moaning about a girl in Canada who could not play in her sports tournament because she would not take off her traditional clothing and follow the rules.  Yet I did not hear a peep when girls get stoned or have their vagina's mutilated.

And why are you comparing religions?  What does that have to do with anything I am saying?  If you haven't learned yet, I do not care for any religion.

USmarine, do you HONESTLY think that ANY of us agree with stoning?

It is beyond me as to how some of you think.  The fact that I disagree with lowings policy of referring to all muslims as animals and advocate nuking the middle east doesn't mean I want to let the nutjobs who stone and oppress women to live among us.

I'll go find that thread where someone made the point I'm trying to make now.  Islam is not the problem.  The problem is that these people (in the middle east and elsewhere) are living in conditions and cultures you and I can't even fathom.  They've never known what it's like to be free, never known what it's like to live a rich life full of meaning.  So what do they do?  They do what any other person would do in their situation.  They turn to religion to answer all their questions.  Not saying it's right, not saying I agree with it. 

Radical islam is the RESULT of the middle easts problems, not the CAUSE of them. 

That's all I'm saying.
Is that all you are saying??!!. I defy you to show me where I have advocated the killing of all Muslims. I dare you, I tripple dog fuckin dare you!!.  I am against this religion, I am not saying nor have I ever said anything other than this religion is violent and intolerable. I never said all Muslims are terrorisists or we should kill them all.

I will accept your apology with your retraction.

The emboldened word 'within' is the key. Issues that transgress borders I care about...

Transgression of borders anywhere does not a happy European isolationist make (especially when those transgressions are unjust)...

1. I said compare the teaching of JESUS with that of Muhammad. Christians follow ( supposedly) the techings of Christ. Hence the term. Not too many Christians around during Moses's day.

2. These women are going to be stoned based on the LAW OF ISLAM and the country. That is pretty much covers a lot of warped beliefs. It isn't some small renagade action it is their law. See the difference? Also do you preally think I can not post example after example of such Islamic brutality?

3. I said I am against this religion and its fucked up beliefs. I will stand by that. Now start searching and tell me where I condone killing of all Muslims or I say that all of them are terrorists. Stop side stepping it and post it

I'm sure they're scared in countries ruled by Sharia, but Muslims in the west have no such excuse.  CAIR is not jumping around on the news to condemn these stonings, but they have plenty of time to howl when they're criticized for supporting terrorism ...

Just so we are all clear here being an extremist doesn't apply just to the islamic religion there are plenty of extremists in other religions that do tons of weird shit. We don't need predjudices.

Every religeon has been altered, or adapted as centuries go by. This stoning incident, being Islamic law, is Iran interpretation of that religeon.  Christianity has several sects. Im sure, based on the obvious fact that stoning is rare enough to make global headlines, that most muslims no longer follow this belief, or refuse to acknowledge it in thier teachings.

Whil I agree this act is sick, and the religeon that promotes it is, but you cannot blame all Islamic religeon based upon one' nation's abuse of the religeon.   It's difficult to persecute a religeon because some people, to this day, hold on to some sick virtues.   I'm sure christianity has a few things in it's past that is no longer practiced due to it being realised as barbaric. 

The simple fact that some people of the Islamic faith choose to hold on to these sick aspects, really shouldn't be blamed on Islam as a whole.  one person's belief in islam could differ GREATLY from another.

Who also says every Iranian cirtizen approves of this?

It would be nice if you guys would stop regurgitating the same shit about islam and comparing it to other religions.  We do not need to hear it every 3rd post.  Try and talk about islam...since that is what we are talking about.  Try and talk about these poor girls.  Try and show me some compassion for these girls, and MANY others like them.

Others religeons have followers that are guilty of dark shit too.  That's all were saying.  Why hate JUST ONE because a percentage of the followers are sick and fucked up?  And why hate the entire religeon when its a fraction of the followers doing this?  That's what we are saying.

Plus, the OP wasn't merely trying to talk about these poors girls, and trying to show compassion.  That's why it evolved into more.

But yes, It's terrible unfortunate this happens, and hopefully sometimes soon, it will change.

What about the honor killings in the UK, US, Canada, and Sweden?  I don't think those particular individuals were living in unfathomable conditions.

I saw some of you comparing abortion clinic violence.  Hundreds of women every year are killed due to honor killings.  So if we try and compare, the ratio would be something like 1 abortion clinic for every 800 honor killings for example.  I would like to see neither, but I cannot see comparing the two.

Get off the PC and get to the basement Rooster!!!!

These 10 points summarize the issue for me:

1. There are many nice Muslims who do not support killing people for adultery, apostasy, etc.
2. There are not nice Muslims who do support killing people for adultery, apostasy, etc ... backed by the majority of Islamic scholars.
3. The nice Muslims are afraid and/or unwilling to condemn the murderous acts.
4. Understand why Muslims in the Middle East would be afraid to stand up against Sharia law, lest they be labeled in violation as well and suffer.
5. Do not hate all Muslims, there are the nice Muslims that I know in my community.
6. Do not understand why nice Muslims in the West do not stand up against Sharia law while safe away from Sharia's condemnation.
7. Cannot stand people who murder innocent people.
8. Cannot understand a religion whose teachings support murdering innocent people for leaving said religion.
9. Hope that the nice modern Muslims and their scholars (who do not believe Islam teaches to kill adulterers and apostates) increase their influence.
10.Thinking Islam is a religion of peace because there are nice modern Muslims is a big mistake.

Here's one thing I'm not getting.  I've seen both Lowing and USM post about how they don't like nor understand why normal, peaceful Muslims aren't protesting the radicals.  There are lots of reasons behind this as far as I can see.

The main reason is this.  I think we can all agree that Islam permeates in some of the poorest nations in the world (see Iraq, Indonesia, Afghanistan, etc.).  I think we can also agree that the people in those countries are very poor and probably struggling to make ends meet.  So why do you expect to see them protesting in the streets when they could be earning money to survive?  Google search some Indonesia villages and tell me they don't look like they've just been hit by a few Katrina's.  That's because they're piss poor.  The people there don't have the time nor the resources to waste by protesting the radicals.  Are you going to blame the peaceful Muslim majority now for being too poor to find time to protest their extremist brothers?

Also, you might tell me that Iran is not as poor as other Muslim nations and that there is little protesting there.  Quite simply put, Iran is a democratic dictatorship whose ruler supports the radicals.  The last thing I'd be caught doing is protesting my leader's faith when I know very well what will happen to me for doing so.  So I suppose fear is another element explaining the lack of anti-radical activism among peaceful Muslims.

When you're as poor as many of the peaceful Muslims, you don't waste time on futile protesting.  You spend your time working, praying, or sleeping, with a few exceptions of course.  Protesting takes free time, and many Muslims can't sacrifice the potential working hours to do so.

Exactly.  The problem is not the religion itself.  The problem is the fanatical mindset of the en ire middle east.  They're stuck with a medieval mentality regarding life in general.  Occurrences such a these would be  everyday occurrences in Medieval Europe.  This is pretty much the way the world would be if everybody took the Bible literally.  In a book that big, there's ways to justify just about anything.  There needs to be a change in the way religion is perceived and taught in the middle east.  The problem is that there is not one strong, centralized church to change all the policies like there was with most of Christianity, so each country would have to enact its own reformation.

So do we have a realistic hope that the peaceful Muslims will overcome their brothers given your assessment?

hmmmm.... find time to pray 5 times a day.  Find time to smoke shisha.  Find time to dance in the streets after 9/11.  Find time to protest and burn flags because some prisoners had panties on their heads.

So, hundreds and hundreds of women get killed every year due to honor killings......no time to protest.

Some prisoners get panties put on their heads and they have time to protest.


Ok.  If you say so.
