Stoned to death

[Catty1]

Aisha seems to be the wife who is spoken of - as a child, she was initially betrothed to another man, but he was set aside when Aisha was suggested as a match for Mohammed, whose one wife had just died. Also, Mohammed and Aisha are said to have developed a true fondness for each other, and it is reported that he died with her, with his head in her lap.

There were two other "co-wives"; many men mentioned in the Christian Old Testament (most notably) had many wives.

Different times, different cultures.

Catty1, the wikipedia site you've given has a mistake. Prophet (S.A.W.) didn't have a wife Rayhana

I can get behind that idea. I cant support the idea that new laws need to be enacted to suppress a small group because the majority feels icky.

Ok....so you believe we shouldn't enact a law that prevents muslim youths spitting on Christian bikinied women on our own beaches, because according to their religion they are offended ???
Now blue....if that happened on one of your beaches, would the US majority feel icky about that ????
What about the dried fecal matter that was baked into cakes to be sold to the US citizens that I read about a couple of years ago ??? Where was that now ??? Texas ??? One of those states down south from memory. Why do you think they did that blue ???? Just for fun ??? Or to be naughty children ???
As for enacting new laws....it's a good idea if it deters such behaviour....don't you think ???
How about a law of extradition to apply to these people ??? After all, how can they belong in a land where they have no regard for their host's, disrupt the normal community, and have no respect at all for other cultures ???
Tolerance is not a muslim virtue blue, it never has been.....it's a culture still living by the ideals of a prophet who did not have any interest in tolerance.
If these people show tolerance toward other cultures and religions, then I may agree with you. But they don't, they have never ever intended to do so.
You think I'm a racist ??? That's ok......but....I just reciprocate...thats all.

Laws already exist for that, why would we need new ones?

Again no need for new laws, the FDA covers the amount of fecal matter in our food stuffs.

We have laws for extraditing illegals, our gutless leaders wont enforce those laws. We dont need new laws, what we need is the bawlz to enforce the laws we currently have. Our current POTUS and legislature are more concerned about their jobs then our laws.

Again you may be a d!ck but Australia has a point, "If you want to practice Sharia law move to a country that practices it!"

Im more tolerant then the muslims, but they have a right to be intolerant in this country within the law. If they step outside of the law, hang em.

Sure I'm a d!ck, but not as big a d!ck as you and your kin right here on this forum. But......I'm comfortable with that, as you probably are.

But what better deterent than the promise of extradition to those who default ???
Anyway....just like you blue....your country is naught but a contradiction.
On one hand, US embassies won't issue visas for those who have a criminal record as minor as shoplifting, to those who wish merely to go to your country for a holiday........and yet......"eat your cake up kiddies...that guy in the cake shop with the teatowel on his head said it was only chocolate on top".
I mean, I know you have amendments to protect a fly crawling up the wall....but at least be seen to have some common sense.

[wombat2u2004]

And by the way blue.......your bill of rights has caused insurmountable problems to your country over the past 50 years....it's gradually ripping your country apart.....but....I'm sure you're comfortable with that.

That's just your opinion. Why do you think it has caused insurmountable problems? Any proof of that?

Our country is not ripping apart. You must be following just certain of the news media who always play up the bad, and don't report the good news that happens every day. On my street are people of several different races, more ethnicities than I could guess, and at least three different religions, and different denominations. Our differences do not rip us apart, and while not every likes everyone else, or knows everyone else, we all live peaceably.

Am I deluded or naive? No. Sorry. My feet are firmly planted on the ground thanks. Does my country have problems? Yes. But what country doesn't?

And remember, you can think whatever you want, but do not post anything racist - this is Pet Talk. We do not discriminate between purebreds and mixed breeds or mystery breeds in dogs, nor should we in humans either.

Our Bill of Rights is pretty common sense stuff, its the nut jobs that want to redefine them to meet their needs is the problem. The Bill of Rights and our Amendments clarify our Rights not trample them.

There are a few things we could learn from you Aussies, but Im not in charge so you didnt hear that from me.

Now what amendment protects flys?

[wombat2u2004]

That's just your opinion. Why do you think it has caused insurmountable problems? Any proof of that?

No it ain't. It isn't just MY opinion at all.....it's the opinion of many many people I have discussed the issue with, and that includes Americans who take off the patriotic hat.
Proof ???? Miles and miles of it.

[wombat2u2004]

"Our Bill of Rights is pretty common sense stuff",

Sure is....historically that is.

[wombat2u2004]

Hey, I now I have been a rude and angry before. I have an apology to make, sorry wombat, I didn't know you're so... elder.

Well.....you come as surprise don't you ???
I gratefully accept your apology, and in turn I apologize to you for the things I have posted that may have offended you.
We shall be friends

Karen, You are very lucky to live in a community where there is peace & harmony. I am not so lucky. The raid that took place in a town called Postville Iowa with illegals being hauled off took place going on two years now.The kosher plant was closed down & now has reopened. Now it is all coming about again. This time Somalis are moving in working for the same group of people in their kosher meat packing plant. The town use to get by with two parttime policmen. It now has two fulltime & four parttime to keep the law. The farmers around the area have to lock everything up because of theft even the gardens are being robbed of their veggies. All is not well in America & being called Racist or Hateful on this board is a lame excuse because there are those of us that happen to live in an area where we see it all going down. There is no media here it is being played out right in front of our eyes.

[Karen]

I am sorry you have such trouble where you live, Bonny, really I am. Are the thefts all from the new immigrants, does anyone know? Are there any efforts for dialogue between the Somalis and the long-term residents, maybe by local clergy if the politicians won't do it?

Sad isn't it, how every wave of immigrants gets a bad rap, deserving or not - I remember being told my great grandfather ran the only mill in town who refused to post a "No Irish Need Apply" sign, and now no one thinks twice about Irish Americans. It seems everyone has an adjustment period, some harder than others.

[Bonny]

What you have is one group using another group to fulfill their religious needs. There is a Christian group that try to educate & help legal & illegal immagrants in our area. It is very frustrating to see it repeat itself again & again.
