Peaceful law abiding MuslimsReader comment on item: The Next London Bombing Submitted by Terry (European Union), Oct 28, 2006 at 17:45 The Muslims must have something going for them. Very rarely have women been so thoroughly, and comprehensively repressed, while brainwashed into believing that they are totally free. There are many examples. The present fight for Muslim women to be allowed to pray inside a Mosque, alongside the men being but one. Another glaring example is the 'arranged marriage'. Having worked for a number of years in the very heartland of Islam. Women have few rights, although the laws of inheritance are strictly observed. One of the absolute rights a woman has is to refuse to marry a particular man. That in itself makes a nonsense of the arranged marriage. That brings us to the next stage, the so called 'honour killing' where the leading male in the house has the right to kill his daughter, niece, cousin, whatever for refusing to comply. It doesn't happen very often, but once is too many, and shows that those who have done it, together with those who while they would not do it themselves, agree with the practice, or at the very least do not denounce it, are contemptuous of the very democracy they disparage while using it to swell the numbers. That is the only possible explanation. There are enough of them in the country now, for them to find a British born mate Yet as soon as a child is born, a large percentage immediately contract a marriage outside the country. Peace loving, law abiding Muslims? I think not. Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes. Original writing only, please.
