Under the Taliban, and sometimes in Iran. It's not ubiquitous. Rape is often punished though, as unless the victim can produce 4 male witnesses she is considered to have committed adultery which is punishable by whipping (if unmarried) or death (if married) under Sharia law.

I could be wrong, but I remember reading somewhere it was 4 adult male Muslim witnesses. :~

Not if their first loyalty is to the Umma
The same question can be held for a Jew (is his first loyalty to Israel?), a catholic (is his first loyalty to Vatican?), an anglican (is his first loyalty to the British queen), an ultraliberal ((is his first loyalty to the US).

You don't point them out, you present beliefs and tell they are of others. Have you any proof every muslim thinks as you think he thinks?

A good point, at least you begin to see the things as they are.

It is dangerously naive not to be concerned about demographic predictions that show a Muslim majority population in Europe within 3 generations.
Yeah, let's sterilize muslims.

This stuff is clearly stated in their own texts. But hey, carry on believing that vague remaining notions of La Republic will tame the strongest retrograde force on earth. Being suspicous of Catholics/Protestants respectively in the 17th century was a very good idea, especialy if they got anywhere near the reigns of power. Try reading what they say[^] . Islam needs to grow the hell up before we encourage its growth within our borders. Demanding reciprocal religious freedom in Islamic countries would be a good start.

It was irony, I'm a culturalist. I have the incredibly politically incorrect belief that I am allowed to criticise other cultures than my own.

Way to present a reasoned argument Karl. In a similarly balanced response how about we all pretend how tolerant we are until Voltaire (another viscous Islamaphobe) and Flaubert are condemned to the same fate as the Banyan Buddahs and the Sphinx (hint, it wasn't napoleon who defaced it). Maybe it would be karmic justice for all that colonialism of our own. -- modified at 12:07 Friday 15th September, 2006

:~ Why haven't we started a second (or is it 4th or something) crusade yet? Keep in mind that "spreading mischief" also seems to include such things (as we've seen in Afghanistan) as "converting to Christianity". I really hope the Pope does not back down from his remarks. People often criticize Europe for the Crusades, but this is the kind of stuff they were up against.

There were 9 Crusades, not including the ones in Europe.

The Pope needs to be careful, these folks dropped the "turn the other cheek" concept when they initialized.

4 male witnesses? It's stupid. How often this happens? What are the chances to have 4 male witnesses in case of rape?

A couple of years ago we had what seemed lake a plague of mob rapes performed by the young generation of our new citizens from the muslim world. I guess they could manage a group of at least 4 males...

Do you have a reference for this? According to Quran 24:4, it is the accuser who must produce 4 witnesses in order to prove adultery.

Thank God for disproportional force.
I am against this baised protest against Pope.None had balls to condemn Bush when He came up with facism theory.Maybe because Pakistani govt consider Bush more powerful than Pope. What I would like that Pakistani govt send a set of Bible to Pope by highliting bunch of deutoronomy verses which clearly instructs to kill non Bible followers and prophets[they already killed lots of Prophets in past] X|

http://www.islam101.com/dawah/newBorn.htm[^] The Prophet (PBUH) reported that Allah said, "I created my servants in the right religion but devils made them go astray". The Prophet (PBUH) also said, "Each child is born in a state of "Fitrah", then his parents make him a Jew, Christian or a Zoroastrian, the way an animal gives birth to a normal offspring. Have you noticed any that were born mutilated?"

Thats the verse.. it has ended up being used for exactly that purpose though. I'm trying to find the reasoning behind it.

Grace. I assume this is why you can also believe in pre Islamic Muslims (Hanifs?). Its an interesting concept, compared to Christian notions of original sin. Doesn't alter my position that you believe your children to be born Muslim.

Mohammeds ahistorical use of proto muslims to back his point has no bearing on the fact your faith often resembles a personaility cult.
