ctrl-c, ctrl-v ?

If the people of the board you cut and paste to are critical of you, cut and paste the above message.

Personally, I don't "hate" Islam, I doubt anyone does here. What we do hate are people that spam our board by cutting and pasting messages of marketing. Share your own thoughts or begone. If you can't, I have to remind you that this is an English speaking board.

Here are some reasons that Americans in general distrust many of the followers of Islam:

How do you feel about suicide bombings?

How do you feel about Iraq?

How do you feel about the many Mosques teaching that the United States is inherently evil?

How do you feel about the way your religion treats women almost as being property? (I've dealt a bit with the laws of Iran and this is what I observed).

Why do you hate Americans? Why do you hate Jews? Why are you intolerant?

Why do you tell lies -- or speak things that can't be proven? Fastest growing religion? In the U.S., the Wiccans claim taht distinction as well. In the world, the Mormons claim that as well. They offer no proof, and I'm sure, neither will you.

Also, I and most other Christians could give a crap as to how another religion looks at ours. To say that Jews view Christians as such is to speak of something you know nothing about or just that you are a liar. Which is it?

Please cut and paste someone else's comments.

hank, can you read and understand english? it does not appear that you can.

islam is not part of the western culture-islam is a culture unto itself.

islam does not honor women-it represses, restricts and abuses women.islam relegates women to 2nd class status.

your posts make followers of islam seem to be robotic, non-thinkers. gc'ers have asked you direct questions which you have not answered. can you think and reason for yourself? your posts make me think not.

islam closes peoples minds. followers are not tolerant of other peoples beliefs or lifestyles.

go away hank(or should we say mohammed or abdullah?)just go away!

Come on now, that's a little over the top, don't you think?

Islam, like any major religion has different sects/denominations. There are plenty of accomplished Muslim women out there who are not in the least bit repressed. The Muslim community here in Oklahoma City isn't all that larege, but I have come into contact with such people. Of course, at the same time, there are other Muslims who would condemn that behavior. Which type is Hank?

I'm not sure that Hank can even understand the words I'm typing.

Hank, how do you feel about suicide the suicide bombers killing Israeli children?

Just how many Muslims have you met that you're able to make such sweeping generalizations?

It's not "PC" as that I'm afraid to talk about things for what they are, I've just met enough Muslims (women included) that were smart, educated, accomplished, and liberal minded in the sense that they accepted viewpoints other than their own.

Absolutely! A great number of my sorors are Muslim...and they honor our mission statement by promoting leadership, multiculturalism and self-improvement...being living examples of sisterhood across different races, cultures, religions, backgrounds and lifestyles.

Those that I deal with frequently are Persians -- and they'll correct you if you call them Iranians

Those that I work with are extremely hard workers, great businesspeople, they place a great deal of value on an education for their children, they make amazing sacrifices for their family members and think nothing of it... The list goes on.

They are also disgusted with the way certain sects have hijacked the message of their religion.

Too bad hank1 gave up on us. I was interested in knowing which kind of Muslim he was. Unfortunately, I think he lacked the ability to read and respond to questions.

I follow Islam..and I joined a multicultural sorority. I find your views to be very narrow-minded..a little bit of education will do you good!

Islam doesn't reject the West...Followers of Islam (from certain idealogies, ethnicities, etc) do!

It's never been mentioned in the Quran.
