No one here is denying the magnitude of the threat of Islam, or the need to take every step necessary to address it. It has glaring anachronistic and misogynistic weaknesess and will either evolve or die. The pagan religions of ancient Greece and Rome failed to evolve and died out to Christianity. However the pagans didn't have nuclear weapons technology and the ability to take a good chunk of the world with them on the way out.
I keep thinking about a post by Richard who said something to the effect, "well we found something to replace communism. "
I am missing something in the logic of your quote. Even if Mr. Mirza is a definitive authority on anything, his arguments seem to indicte Arab culture despite his conclusions. You cite some pretty harsh quotes from the Koran. But if Palestinian Christians and the Druze Arabs are also doing these horrible things to their women in this part of the world how are these verses applicable since they don't follow Islamic Law or read the Koran? You could make the argument one could find some equally horrible quotes out of the Bible if needed, but in that case is it religious or cultural? People from this part of the world seem to find it acceptable to kill their women for notions we find barbaric.
The other point is the frequency of occurrence. It certainly seems most of the time we hear about honor killings it comes from the Islamic community. So I could understand how given the numbers folks could feel honor killings are part of Islam.
But I wonder if these same folks would balk at the statement recent historical precedent shows "Christianity is more dangerous to Jews and other minorities than Islam"
Modern European Christian nations Italy and Nazi Germany plunged the world into war and murdered at least 6 million Jews not that long ago. You can say but they were evil Nazi's/Facists, they certainly were, but these German Christians celebrated Xmas, went to church, and believed in Jesus just like the American and British Christians who defeated them. They were all Christians, some were sheep led by evil men, and others were not. If the Nazi's would have won the German Christians would have eliminated the Jews, and lots of other folks.
I don't think it's as simple as you describe, but thank you regardless for defending our country.
