    look at the bright side - at least these are all legitimate rapes, and the girls aren't getting pregnant.
    this way they don't have to get abortions, which would be a true travesty.

    Enough with the link dumps! Provide the link, offer a thought or two, and go from there.

    It all rather makes a bit of a farce of the idea, (popular in some western media circles), that this sort of attitude is restricted to Muslims. :(

    Where in the West, is it popular to believe that rape & sexual harassment is limited to Muslims? If anything, an article linked above suggests that some Indians believe it to be an urban or modern problem. a view that itself is a joke.

    You see quite a few comments, (from across the political divide), that poor attitudes to women are endemic in Muslim societies and generally not in non-Muslim ones.



    Ignore the witless comments printed over it and listen to some of the nonsense O'Reilly spouts.



    I was particularly interested to find out that Sharia law is being implemented in Britain... clearly I haven't been paying enough attention to this stuff so, thanks Bill :)

    Or of course, just enter 'muslim attitude to rape' and take a peek at the 73m+ entries, (all of them either thinly veiled or not veiled at all), insults but I think all this really shows is that EVERYONE knows there are anti-Islamic elements in the western media and, for reasons best known only to yourself, you've got a feather up your arse about my pointing it out :)

    Frankly, I see many comments decrying attitudes towards women everywhere in the world!
    He expresses disbelief that the prophet Muhammad would espouse violence towards woman. He reads passages from the Koran, and opines that some would misinterpret them. He brings on an opposing point of view from the Muslim woman, namely a Muslim man, the following day. I can see how you would perceive all this to be nonsense.
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16522447
    "An estimated 85 Sharia councils could be operating in Britain"
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7234870.stm
    "Lord Phillips, the most senior judge in England and Wales, has said that principles of sharia law could play a role in some parts of the legal system."
    No. I just believe that, once again, you are full of crap, here. There are anti-western & anti- Christian (also, surprisingly, anti-semetic :whistling: ) elements in Arab & Muslim media. The internet is full of over-opinionated persons world-wide. You just happen to be my particular cross to bear.
    As far as abuse of women go, it's a world-wide problem, in every country & almost every culture. Anyone who doubts or questions this is at best chauvinistic, as worst delusional.

    And there are more in the west about Islam than other religions.
    So you're saying that Bill O'Reilly hasn't got a warped view of Islam? Well, maybe all that says is that you generally agree with him. :)
    LOL

    Love it :)

    Just a little tip mate... it's probably not a great idea to try and tell someone something about their OWN country, particularly when you have no fecking clue what you're talking about.
    Yes, and we've got other religions sticking their noses in as well, y'know.. including Christianity, (particularly Catholicism which is one of the more regressive flavours). It's hard to argue against giving Muslims their own spheres of influence when we allow those other dimwits to poke their noses into stuff that doesn't concern them.

    Actually that Q&A piece is quite informative but it has to be read in context, obviously. Not that I'd expect YOU to know what that is of course, on account of you not being here and all.
    Er... who said anything about the internet? I was talking about the 'meeja'.
    Come on now, you know you love our 'bantering'. If you didn't get it here you'd have to go and banter with the wife and who KNOWS where that could lead :)
    Or 'American' as they're more commonly known ;)

    However, I will admit I was unable to find some of the stuff on youtube I was hoping to find including Bill Maher explaining how Muslims are more 'rapey', (as he elegantly put it), than non-Muslims and O'Reilly droning on about the ground zero mosque which was entertaining if nothing else, (although nothing to do with women's rights per se).

    And yet, in neither of those stories, (particularly the latter one mentioning South Africa which is about 3/4 Christian), is the religion of the perpetrators raised.

    How very odd :confused:

    Certainly not evidenced from the clip you linked.
    You denied knowledge of these things. I provided a BBC link showing their existence. You provide a sputtering reply.
    Are there parallel "Catholic" court systems in the UK?
    You're welcome.
    Hey, you're there, and totally missed it!
    Sometimes, it's hard to figure out what you're on about.
    Well, under sharia law, she can't divorce me.
    Well, we certainly don't need any lectures from the British on that.
    You do realize, that he's a comedian, of sorts ...

    No mention of the religion of this perp either:
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukn...4000-foreign-criminals-live-freely-in-UK.html
    "The Home Office is currently battling to deport Abu Qatada, the hate preacher, to Jordan, where he was convicted of terror charges in his absence in 1999. ... Meanwhile the cost of monitoring Qatada while he is on bail is thought to amount to £100,000 a week."
