Islam - a resounding success story, why and how

Submitted by Irene (United States), Jan 31, 2006 at 10:59

Yes, Islam has certainly been a resounding success story -- FOR MAKING LIFE HELL ON EARTH -- especially for women and children. It totally defies logic, of even the simplest kind, how a society would continue to believe in (and fight for) such horrid beliefs. They may have sufficed thousands of years ago, when the world was still "square" -- but grow up, folks, the world is round and there is a horizon everywhere. And eventually, believe me, those horizons will beckon your women and children to fight for freedom from such domestic bondage. It WILL happen! I pray it happens soon. Then we will see some real progress in Islamic regions, where today we have nothing but poverty, squalor, disease, hunger, human degradation, and death.

I applaud the author of this article, and I must say that my own pet cats are kinder to each other that these men of Islam are to their women and children -- and shame on them!
