Har, Har!!

I don't blame warmongering Islam for all the ills of the world only those ills caused by the koranic operating manual of said religion.

To wit:

Mohammed (blessed be a zit upon his arse), an illiterate, womanizing, warmongering, hallucinating Arab, also had embellishing/hallucinating/plagiarizing scribal biographers who not only added "angels" and flying chariots to the koran but also a militaristic agenda to support the plundering and looting of the lands of non-believers.

This agenda continues as shown by the conduct of the seven Muslim doctors in the UK, the 9/11 terrorists, the 24/7 Sunni suicide/roadside/market/mosque bombers, the 24/7 Shiite suicide/roadside/market/mosque bombers, the Islamic train bombers in the UK and Spain, the Bali crazies, the Kenya crazies, the Pakistani koranics, the Palestine suicide bombers/rocketeers, the Lebanese nutcases, the Taliban nut jobs, and the Filipino koranics.

And who funds these acts of terror? The Islamic Shiite terror theocracy of Iran aka the Third Axis of Evil and also the Sunni "Wannabees" of Saudi Arabia.

Sorry, Concerned, but I don't see Islam as "preventing substantial advances in universal heathcare around the world." In fact, I'd be willing to bet the rent that organizations like Doctors without Borders have Muslim members.

You seem to want to blame Islam for all the ills of the world from international terrorism to global warming to the zit you found on your arse this morning.

You Want Morality?

Hmmm, no doubt you voted for Al Gore and are still suffering.

You noted:

"Ms. Taylor addressed the topic question, and did so quite eloquently and intellegently."

Not really, as she failed, as always, to mention her warmongering religion which is preventing substantial advances in universal heathcare around the world.

Only legislation has put in place the moral pillars necessary to make a moral society.

The religions have been a complete failure since the invention of "faith".

Witness that the "good christians" in Southern States stopped lynching blacks as laws were enacted to exact a price IN THIS LIFE for immoral behaviour.

Note that even the "good christian" mormons toed the line when the Great Society legislation was enacted. Now black males can "hold the priesthood". (well as long as they pay their money).

Nooses?

They have never been out of style among the hypocritical, southern and midwestern, "good christian", rednecks; but, Blacks are now protected from these "good christians".

The point.
Legistation is responsible for raising the bar of morality, i.e. conservatives are forced to be moral via threat of prosecution.

Health Care?
"good christians" have done nothing to provide for children's healthcare except as it has provided a tax deduction for the wealthy.

The "inconvienent truth"?

The churches use donations to further their existence, not for charity as Jesus encouraged.

Sadly, an immoral society tends to vote for immoral candidates, e.g. George Bush and the majority of republicans.

Nevertheless, little by little, we achieve a more moral society via legislation (FDR, JFK, LBJ) - not faith (we also lose morality via legislation Hitler, Lenin, Reagan, Bushes 1 & 2).

I can imagine a world in the future where gods are seen as relics of our weird religious past.We are not yet quite ready,but getting there,especially since the religious insanity of September 11,2001,which no doubt prompted atheists to come out of the closet and add their voices to the current conversation on the relevance of religion.
Those of us who overcame, or avoided,religious indoctrination,are no longer comfortable being silent on this issue,which is the biggest issue of our time.
The supernatural world is the world of our imagination.We have to understand that our imaginings have nothing to do with reality.
The future of our civilization may depend on it.

Victoria, Victoria, Victoria,

To reiterate once again, your warmongering religion is the reason we cannot afford universal health insurance for children. If you are really concerned you would quickly become a moral secularist.

Again we offer our easy Five Step Program that will easily deprogram your Islamic brainwashing. There is no charge or donation involved.

jim dont worry about the liberated christian-

every question, no matter what, gets the same old answer-

Jim M,

It is all about the realm of reality i.e. first things first i.e. Win the War on Terror i.e. this is our generation's contribution to world peace and finally the opportunity to have health insurance for all the global needy.

Your article is well received. Individuals form governments so as to do together what they themselves cannot do alone---you know, things like the common defense and general welfare of all, etc.

But we have seen what two terms of an incompetent president and his lemmings have brought. Just when a rational mind would think that children are indeed America's greatest treasure, mean-spirited and well-to-do legislators follow in lock-step with a president of privilege bent on preserving a caste system of the wealthy at the expense of all others.

America was the land of the free. America was the land of opportunity. America was about justice and social intergration. America was about....oh, well, .........."

Funny how concerned the christian has justly added uninsured children as unwilling soldiers in the fight against terrorism...Islamic terrorism to be exact. Classic case of blame shifting. Reminds me of Hitler blaming the Jews for all of Germany's problems.

The blogger simply hates Muslims. Period. And his/her chosen list of issues to support his/her case is nothing more than intellectual dishonesty, and not very well done.

Typical Pamela as she again fails to address the warmongering Islam which is costing US taxpayers dearly and preventing added health insurance for all the needy.

To wit:

Does Kosovo, Bosnia, Kuwait, 9/11, the War on Terror and Homeland Security ring any bells???? Blame war expenditures on the likes of the Iranians and their Islamic terror theocracy, the North Koreans and their Dark Age Communism, the Miloševićs, the Saddam Husseins, the Gaddafis, the Somalians, the OBLs, the Taliban, and the Israelis and Palestinians for believing that God made Jerusalem just for them.

Remove Islamic related issues from the above and what is left??

"Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or more attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honor. And out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say, "my Lord! bestow on them Thy Mercy, even as they cherished me in childhood." (Quran 17: 23,24)

Prophet said

"among all the permitted acts, divorce is the most hateful to God" (Abu Dawood).

Re Muslims for progressive values: Original Islam founded on regressive values?

I'm looking for Islam in this piece.

Divorce is so easy in Islam. One wonders about the fate of children. Mohammad does not make any reference to the fate of children in connection with divorce.
