He likely knows a "bit" more about Islam than you do. Hamid confirms what many experts have stated and what so many refuse to accept: The Koran is misogynous, and it cannot be reinterpreted to be compatible with modern values.<br /><br /><blockquote><span style="font-weight:bold;">Reinterpreting the Koran</span><br /><br />The problem with <a href="http://iht.com/articles/2008/11/28/opinion/edartyk.php?page=2">Nadira Artyk's argument</a> that the Koran treats men and women equally is that for every passage that supports her viewpoint there is another passage that contradicts it ("Reclaiming my religion," Views, Nov. 29).<br /><br />Artyk quotes several enlightened passages that defend women's rights but ignores those that define women as possessions of men.<br /><br />Any attempt to reinterpret or ignore those passages that are deeply demeaning and restrictive to women is self-defeating, as Muslims consider the Koran to be the direct word of God and consider its reinterpretation, dilution or adaptation to the modern world to be heresy.<br /><br />There is no such thing as "Koran Light" and any official attempt at an "Islamic Reformation" will be brutally confronted.<br /><br />Those Muslim nations that have adapted their civil laws to modern times, like the United Arab Emirates, never dared to "modernize" the Koran but simply circumvented it in the national interest and created a parallel world.<br /><br />Hamid Varzi, Tehran</blockquote>Peter Reaperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11173258107749230017noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632814341038309400.post-51253840559029404392008-03-27T20:39:00.003+01:002008-03-29T15:21:03.733+01:00Fitna the Movie: Geert Wilders' film about the QuranIs documenting hate speech, hate speech?<br /><br /><embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=3369102968312745410&hl=en" flashvars=""> </embed>Peter Reaperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11173258107749230017noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632814341038309400.post-46012181915768894522008-02-14T12:30:00.003+01:002008-02-15T22:42:17.824+01:00Mohammed cartoon reprint: Show your solidarity<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE30KEGVZMbHKnuthZd8A7RN7j2_9ObjiVOI8rjfONyNm8YDnJG_H5Jp5d0XfwGrv6vGy_oIfhVOFAp2Ul0Y6b3VblsZojRRWvRLJAavwXmH-gSlQ8pA11DBVq0mgJv0P14lfkBBXAA0w/s1600-h/2263048036_3d178e7f11_o.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE30KEGVZMbHKnuthZd8A7RN7j2_9ObjiVOI8rjfONyNm8YDnJG_H5Jp5d0XfwGrv6vGy_oIfhVOFAp2Ul0Y6b3VblsZojRRWvRLJAavwXmH-gSlQ8pA11DBVq0mgJv0P14lfkBBXAA0w/s400/2263048036_3d178e7f11_o.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166797249421797250" border="0" /></a><br />In solidarity with the brave Danish journalists and other bloggers around the world who risk their lives by merely publishing a <span style="font-weight: bold;">cartoon</span>(!).<br /><br />This <span style="font-weight: bold;">cartoon</span>(!) was enough of a "reason" for Muslims around the world to riot, vandalize, threaten, and murder.

A simple <span style="font-weight: bold;">cost-benefit analysis</span> seems badly needed here.<br /><br />Found at <a href="http://www.politicallyincorrect.de/">Politically Incorrect</a>. The young man in the video is Hillel Neuerfrom and is the Executive Director of <a href="http://www.unwatch.org/">UN Watch</a>.<br /><br /><span class="elizabeth">Elizabeth Cassidy of <a href="http://www.opiniojuris.org/">Opinio Juris</a> compared this speech to numerous other speeches, and wonders</span> why this is...<br /><blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;">The First-Ever "Inadmissible" Speech at the UN Human Rights Council</span><br />On Friday, UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer gave a speech at the Human Rights Council sharply criticizing its record of ignoring gross human rights violations worldwide unless they can be blamed on Israel. [...] In an unprecedented reaction, the Council's Chair, Luis Alfonso De Alba of Mexico, refused to thank UN Watch for its statement and said that it was "inadmissible." Ours is the only speech from that day that was not posted on the Council's extranet. So much for freedom of opinion and expression, in the Council at least. (The video of the speech is on YouTube and, through word of mouth and the blogosphere, it has now received over 90,000 hits.)<br /><br />Over the past year in the Council, ambassadors have called each other, UN experts, and representatives of NGOs "ignorant" and other similar insults. Sudan and its allies have denied the existence of human rights violations in Darfur, and Iran has denied the Holocaust. Nigeria has defended the use of the death penalty by stoning against homosexuals. The invective against Israel has included accusations of "an Israeli Holocaust against the Palestinian people," a "thirst for the blood" of civilians, and of being "an apartheid regime" and even "an invader from the planet Mars." The United States has been accused of running a "concentration camp" at Guantanamo Bay and of "genocide" against Cuba. The United Kingdom has been called a "colonial slave-master." Sweden has been accused of "ethnic cleansing" against anyone who does not have the coloring of "former Viking conquerors." Yet all of these statements, and many others like them, have been thanked and deemed admissible by the Council Chair.<br /></blockquote>Here is a video showing all the attacks, lies, and insults that <span style="font-weight: bold;">are</span> admissible: <br /><br />Prequel: The Speeches <span style="font-weight:bold;">not</span> Banned at UN Human Rights Council.<br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BMEw0lZ3k_Y"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BMEw0lZ3k_Y" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br />The major difference: It is OK to insult Israel, and occasionally the council, but it is not OK for Israel to point out attacks, lies, and insults against Israel. The hypocrisy is repulsive.<br /><br />So, with all the damage the UN is doing, what exactly is the good it's doing that would justify the bad it's doing and the UN's continuing existence?

I'll look into this when I have the chance.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.godrules.net/library/kjv/kjvmat10.htm#34">Matthew 10:34</a> - Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a <span style="font-weight: bold;">sword</span>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.godrules.net/library/kjv/kjvmat10.htm#35">Matthew 10:35</a> - For I am come to set a man <span style="font-weight: bold;">at variance against</span> his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.godrules.net/library/kjv/kjvluk19.htm#27">Luke, 19:27</a> - But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and <span style="font-weight: bold;">slay</span> [them] before me.<br /><br />Addendum 2007-04-02: This is possibly Jesus quoting someone else.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.godrules.net/library/kjv/kjvluk12.htm#49">Luke, 12:49</a> - I am come to <span style="font-weight: bold;">send fire on the earth</span>; and what will I, if it be already kindled?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.godrules.net/library/kjv/kjvluk12.htm#51">Luke, 12:51-53</a> - (51) Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather <span style="font-weight: bold;">division</span>: (52) For from henceforth there shall be five in one house <span style="font-weight: bold;">divided</span>, three against two, and two against three. (53) The father shall be <span style="font-weight: bold;">divided </span>against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.godrules.net/library/kjv/kjv1cor14.htm#35">Corinthians, 14:34</a> - Let your <span style="font-weight: bold;">women keep silence</span> in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to <span style="font-weight: bold;">be under obedience</span>, as also saith the law.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.godrules.net/library/kjv/kjv1cor14.htm#36">Corinthians, 14:35</a> - And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is <span style="font-weight: bold;">a shame for women to speak</span> in the church.<br /><br />More Bible quotes to be posted here as I come across them.<br /><br />Got a suggested addition: e-mail me or post a comment.Peter Reaperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11173258107749230017noreply@blogger.com39tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632814341038309400.post-38843523726616967542007-03-09T16:21:00.000+01:002007-03-21T21:39:43.901+01:00Why Islam is DangerousMuslems believe in the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koran">Qur'an</a> (Koran). The Qur'an is considered by Muslems to be the <a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">literal</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">final</span> word of their god "Allah"</a>.<br /><br />Thus it makes sense to take a look at some relevant passages in the Qur'an to see what they <span style="font-weight: bold;">choose</span> to believe their god is telling them about how they should live and act.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Koran Passages:</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/002.qmt.html#002.223">002.223</a> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Your wives are as a </span><abbr style="font-weight: bold;" title="cultivated land">tilth</abbr><span style="font-weight: bold;"> unto you; so approach your </span><abbr style="font-weight: bold;" title="cultivated land">tilth</abbr><span style="font-weight: bold;"> when or how ye will</span> [...]<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/003.qmt.html#003.028">003.028</a> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Let not the believers take for friends or helpers Unbelievers</span> rather than believers [...]<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/003.qmt.html#003.054">003.054</a> - And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Allah schemed (against them)</span>: and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Allah is the best of schemers</span>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/004.qmt.html#004.025">004.025</a> - If any of you have not the means wherewith to wed free believing women, they may wed believing girls from among those whom your right hands <span style="font-weight: bold;">possess</span>: And Allah hath full knowledge about your faith. Ye are one from another: Wed them with the leave of their <span style="font-weight: bold;">owners</span>, and give them their dowers, according to what is reasonable: They should be chaste, not lustful, nor taking paramours: when they are <span style="font-weight: bold;">taken</span> in wedlock, if they fall into shame, their <span style="font-weight: bold;">punishment</span> is half that for free women. This (permission) is for those among you who fear sin; but it is better for you that ye practise self-restraint.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/004.qmt.html#004.034">004.034</a> - [on women] Men are the <span style="font-weight: bold;">maintainers</span> of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore <span style="font-weight: bold;">obedient</span>, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and <span style="font-weight: bold;">beat them</span>; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/004.qmt.html#004.089">004.089</a> - [on unbelievers] They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But <span style="font-weight: bold;">take not friends from their ranks</span> until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, <span style="font-weight: bold;">seize them and slay them wherever ye find them</span>; and (in any case) <span style="font-weight: bold;">take no friends or helpers from their ranks</span>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/004.qmt.html#004.091">004.091</a> - Others you will find that wish to gain your confidence as well as that of their people: Every time they are sent back to temptation, they succumb thereto: if they withdraw not from you nor give you (guarantees) of peace besides restraining their hands, <span style="font-weight: bold;">seize them and slay them wherever ye get them</span>: In their case We have provided you with a clear argument against them.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/004.qmt.html#004.144">004.144</a> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Take not for friends unbelievers</span> rather than believers: Do ye wish to offer Allah an open proof against yourselves?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/005.qmt.html#005.044">005.044</a> - [...] And if any fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed [i.e., follow the Koran], they are (No better than) <span style="font-weight: bold;">wrong-doers</span>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/009.qmt.html#009.111">009.111</a> - Allah hath bought from the believers their <span style="font-weight: bold;">lives</span> and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: <span style="font-weight: bold;">they shall fight in the way of Allah</span> and shall <span style="font-weight: bold;">slay and be slain</span>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/016.qmt.html#016.106">016.106</a> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Any one who</span>, after accepting faith in Allah, <span style="font-weight: bold;">utters Unbelief</span>,- except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith - but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is <span style="font-weight: bold;">Wrath from Allah</span>, and theirs will be a <span style="font-weight: bold;">dreadful Penalty</span>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/025.qmt.html#025.052">025.052</a> - So obey not the <span style="font-weight: bold;">disbelievers</span>, but <span style="font-weight: bold;">strive against them</span> herewith with a great endeavour.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/033.qmt.html#033.059">033.059</a> - Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they <span style="font-weight: bold;">should</span> cast their outer garments [headscarfs] over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient, that they should be <span style="font-weight: bold;">known (as such)</span> and not molested.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/043.qmt.html#043.025">043.025</a> - So We exacted retribution from them: now see what was the end of those who rejected (Truth)!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/047.qmt.html#047.004">047.004</a> - Therefore, when ye meet the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks</span>; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But <span style="font-weight: bold;">those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost</span>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/047.qmt.html#047.035">047.035</a> - Be not weary and faint-hearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost [...]<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/061.qmt.html#061.009">061.009</a> - It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Religion of Truth</span>, that he may <span style="font-weight: bold;">proclaim it over all religion[s]</span>, even though the Pagans may detest (it).<br /><br />(emphases mine)Peter Reaperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11173258107749230017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632814341038309400.post-48376102310043630242007-03-09T16:18:00.000+01:002007-03-09T16:27:32.518+01:00Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said...<p>This is a web site I plan on studying a bit: </p><p id="description"><a href="http://presidentahmadinejad.blogspot.com/">Important letters, speeches, and interviews of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, collected from various Internet sources.</a></p>Peter Reaperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11173258107749230017noreply@blogger.com0
