Response to Khaled Al-Mutairy--jihad watch, blogging,

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.

Well, here you go

Sorry, I don't drink.

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...)

Well, I study Islam because Islam wishes to conquer the world. Sikhs, Hindus, Jews do not. Neither do Christians.

Gender inequality is just one of the many tricks Mohammed devised for such a purpose.

As far as Islam and gender equality go, spare me. In sharia court, a woman's opinion means less than that of a man, if she is a rape victim she is the one who gets punished, In the Qu'ran, Islam allows a man to hit his wife, and apparently, if two Muslim girls have American boyfriends, they should be killed, but it's okay for a Muslim man to date a Western woman in the high hopes of bringing her to Islam.

No need for me to be commended. İ just don't believe that you should base your opinion on media reports,

You mean just not on ones that show Islam in a bad light, right?

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).

Well, I guess this means you're not a fundie. But it's pretty clear in Sura 9 where it says to kill the infidels, no? I mean, if I were a Qu'ran scholar and translator, I just may find your accusation insulting, because as is evident in the world today, that's a pretty important part of the faith for the terrorists. It's even more important than the Five Pillars.

So, can you please explain to me what this killing is all about then?

I really recommend telling the terrorists this also, because they've really dropped the bomb (no pun intended) on this one.

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.

Speaking of translations, what you REALLY mean by that is:

You don't agree with me or embrace Islam, therefore you are a hater and ignornant.

I'm surprised, Mr. Al-Mutairy. I mean, I just expected of all people, you wouldn't insult me.

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

I do. It's nice to talk to someone who doesn't believe in killing others with they don't agree. I sure hope every Muslim learns to think like this.
