My Muslim "Brother"

"Brother" Dawud:

When I read your comments I want to do things to you that I just can't publish here. You know I completely understand/appreciate where you're coming from having lived around too many of your "types" in the misogynistic Muslim world. You smugly/arrogantly write about "hijabing" your women in the non-Muslim West as you eyeball the "meat" around you. Allah t'allah is all knowing, so keep that gaze to the ground my friend before he strikes you dead. As far as women being "objects" in the West are concerned, that is your perception based on watching too many pornographic flicks and Hollywood crap.

If I recollect correctly, in our Muslim world, the Umma are the world's most voracious consumers of porn (Google statistics bear this out), especially child porn. How do you explain that "brother"? Do aliens, Jews, Crusaders and/or Christians all fly in every night to consume such fare in your vivid imagination or when you go "home" do you sit with your brothers drinking sharab, smoking charas and watching degenerate porno crap after you've finished your prayers to Allah, the all knowing?

As to yet another whining Muslim rant (on the issue of halal etc) from one who enjoys the freedom in the Dar al Harb to do so, how about a deal: you write to your brothers back home to allow non-Muslims easy access to pork, alcohol etc, and then you can rightly complain about the unfair restrictions (as you see them)? Ever heard of the word "RECIPROCITY"? No, that word does not seem to exist in the Muslim lexicon. I should know, as a member of the Umma by birth. I know, "brother," all the dirty laundry/secrets, as do all of us Muslims, but we either refuse to acknowledge/deal w/these or we are too scared to. ...
