Is there nothing out of bounds in Islam? Does the Koran (and/or radical interpretaions of it), find an excuse for - or even support & encourage - any kind of behavior, with wanton disregard of the consequenses to humanity?

I've long heard of sexual "slavery" in Moslem lands (kidnappings of Western women, in particular) - and instances of it elsewhere; where there is a populace and society willing to turn a blind eye. But, when is the world going to sit up and take notice? Or action? Or even speak out?!? All the peoples of the Earth should declare a "Day of Shame."

Of course, such behavior is not exclusiely Moslem. The Far East's appetite for vile perversions (as this), is well known. However, I know of no other "religion" which condones and legitimizes such cruelty.

Sadly, this is only one evil (on a long list), which defines Islam. Woe to the world which falls to the envisioned and sought-after rule of the Islamasist fascists.

The failure of the West (indeed the world), to wage all-out war against these fanatics is a sad commentary and a perfect reflection of our cynical and selective devotion to the ideals of freedom, humanitarianism and justice. It will, without a doubt, lead to unimagined suffering for countless, future generations.

Mr. Pipes, Please continue the good work of bringing such matters to the attention of those who would listen - and to those who would (should), take action. Your efforts are greatly appreciated - on this - and the hundreds of other subjects about which you write.
