Sir İ must object

Check out jihadwatch.org and then get back to me.

Jihad Watch is dedicated to bringing public attention to the role that jihad theology and ideology plays in the modern world, and to correcting popular misconceptions about the role of jihad and religion in modern-day conflicts. We hope to alert people of good will to the true nature of the present global conflict.

(as quoted from their website's goal)

We were talking about gender equality. You are bringing up a website that aims to confront violent Jihad. İ see no relevance whatsoever. Drink a Redbull then try again.

I know the ins and outs enough to realize that equality of gender, other religions or even race in some cases isn't permissible in orthodox Islam.

So why don't you enlighten us then with these ‘ins and outs'....do the same for Orthodox Hindhuism, Judaism Sikhism and Christianity while you are at it (i.e. the more austere followers within these religions that are attributed to the way they are followed...)

If you believe otherwise, I commend you.

No need for me to be commended. İ just don't believe that you should base your opinion on media reports, blatant mis-translations of the Quran (and i mean BLATANT) that are totally wrong and used by those wishing to smear İslam's reputation, or the venomous words of the 'whacko' fundamentalists (which İslam DOES have its fair share of, like every other religion).

...

At the moment, all İ read on here is hatred and ignorance ---promoting the so-called 'Clash of Civilizations' that would really put a smile on one Samuel Huntington's face.

Come on guys. Wake up and view things in a broader perspective.
