Try keeping up with reality, ok?

"iran is a terrorist country under sanctions and you are asking for a good job for my people, ridiculous"

You have a strange brand of reading comprehension. I never asked for a good job for your people. I don't care about them at all. I asked you why Muslims living in Muslim countries cannot make a good living. The Palestinians under the PLO, then the PA, and now Hamas are dirt poor. So are the Egyptians, the Iranians, the Jordanians, and pretty much all other Muslim countries. Are you saying they're all dirt poor and have no jobs simply because of sanctions against them?

"definition of terrorist -those who are angry with west are terrorist."

Wrong.

True definition of terrorist - one who uses terror against innocent, unarmed civilians (mainly women and children) in order to destabilize society and to instill fear and produce submission in others. or we can go with the short form definition - Muslims.

"this is the one story ...we punish rapists"

Really? Is that why Iran is currently trying to hang an 18 year old woman named Nazanin for fighting off three male rapists? had she allowed the rapes to happen (instead of fighting back), she would have gotten 100 lashes. Had she been married and raped, she'd have been stoned for adultery. Your country is a barbarian state that blames the rape victim, not the rapist.

And is that why 13 year old Hajieh Esmaeel was sentenced to be stoned to death in Iran for the "crime" of having been raped, while the rapist got only 130 lashes? Is that why 16 year old Atefeh Rajabi was hung for having a "sharp tongue"?

As for your verses from Deuteronomy and Leviticus, I defy you to show me a Christian country that upholds that law. You Muslims are either stone deaf or irredeemably stupid, because we have explained to you a thousands times that the peaceful New Testament abrogates and supercedes the violence of the Old Testament. Your propaganda-addled brains seem not to be able to comprehend that fact no matter how many times it is thrown in your face. And you wonder why we call Muslims ignorant savages?

"another thing, we are treating our women like cattle almost. you are pointing towards a veil. take a look, not an old one................According to Rabbi Dr. Menachem M. Brayer (Professor of Biblical Literature at Yeshiva University) in his book 'The Jewish woman in Rabbinic literature', it was the custom of Jewish women to go out in public with a head covering which, sometimes, even covered the whole face leaving one eye free [22].He quotes some famous ancient Rabbis saying,"It is not like the daughters of Israel to walk out with heads uncovered" and "Cursed be the man who lets the hair of his wife be seen....a woman who exposes her hair for self-adornment brings poverty."Rabbinic law forbids the recitation of blessings or prayers in the presence of a bareheaded married woman since uncovering the woman's hair is considered "nudity""

As is always the case when trying to have an intelligent discussion with Muslims, it is more productive to talk to a stone wall...The Jews do not treat their women like cattle. Remember, while you and your jihadist bretheren have been stuck in the 7th century, the rest of the world has advanced and become civilized. The problem is that you're so ignorant and backwards that you seem to believe the rest of the world is stuck in the 7th century just like Islam. Unfortunately for you, we are not.

"from your commenting it is clearly stated that poverty in egypt jordan and saudi , you support the tyrrants and destroy the real islamic institution who are providing jobs to poor. watch hizballah and hamas, they not only have military wings but a social one as well . they are concern more about their people, that is why people support them. remember, nobody supports so called militants without any reason ....."

So why don't you Muslims call all your fellow Muslims back to Arabia and stop accepting all those billions of dollars in aid money from the Great Satan. Stand up for your religion by putting your money where your mouths are. Stop wearing American clothing. Stop accepting American aid when disasters hit you.

"dont tell us we are reading quran so we are supporting them .......sometimes they do provide and make arrangement for daily meals ...and for jobs."

Newsflash - becoming suicide/homicide bombers and blowing up innocent people is not a "job" no matter how much Hamas or Saddam pays (paid) them.

Poor Syed.

See Michel? Here's another perfect example of ignorant, hate-filled Islam for you! The score so far:

Noah: 100,000
Michel: 0
