The Queran makes it OK to brutalize your wife and children. It makes it OK to rape (temporary marriages), murder family members (honor killings) and display otherwise hateful behavior.

There is NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING, I hate more than Islam, except the practitioners.

COWARDS! Imagine, so afraid of women that it covers them up under the PRETENCE of MODESTY.

Have you even read the Qu'ran? Quote me a few passage that support what you're saying.

Secondly, was this—God forbid—an attempt to justify the war in Iraq?

Is it me or are these posts appearing out of order now, I know the time stamps are correct but, I'm sure they are rearranged.

Oh and Royal you should read my super duper very long post above , it will explain why I took exception to what you had said in the past..I am sure there are more folks on here that have friends or know someone who has gone through similar situations.

darwinsmistake, i'm happy you made it out alive. And I understand now why it can make you so angry to see people sympathizing with the insurgents.

I read everything up to this point and I have to say I am speechless.
If people on the internet are able to put aside their differences, then I believe that peace on earth might be possible one day.

Most here just will never know what really happens in war , they read or see points of views but never experience it for themselves, you really do need to live it to understand it..I would rather that most will not live it though..The only reason I gave the info of my experience was in hope that others can see that a U.S soldier isnt there to just blow shit up and kill everyone..War is not a thing of beauty , it sucks and its ruthless.I also wanted others to know that I know for a fact that we are providing aid to those who need it and also fighting for womens rights over there..In a way it is like Vietnam as sometimes its hard to tell just who the enemy is..There is alot of hate towards us being involved but I also saw many who were starving for attention from us..

We have our shame as well.Like the soldiers posing the nude bodies of dead captives..But they are shamed and should be punished to the full extent of the law..No one is above humanity..So I do accept the good with the bad, doesnt mean I always agree with the bad side of war.

I have pics Faust with me eating along side folks from the middle east and also of me playing soccer with kids in the streets (well more like dirt paths but streets never the less)..There are some awesome people there.But like every country there is good and bad to be found..

Anyway even though I do have some good memories , I would rather not discuss what I saw or went through..I respect other views but not twisted ones..Maybe in the future I will be able to talk more about the bad side of war I have seen..But at this moment I am not ready..Hope you can understand..

Talk at ya later...

And there is no sin for you in what you both agree (in extending the contract) after fulfilling the (first) duty. Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Wise. (Quran 4:24)

In the above verse, the Arabic equivalent of the word "marriage" or any of its derivatives has NOT been used. Rather the derivative of word "Mut'a" (pleasure/temporary marriage) has been used, i.e., "Istamta'tum".

I can quote passages from the old testament where its forbidden to eat Chamelions, and parents are to kill any child that disobeys.
Islam is no different than any other religion- it all depends on the interpretation.
And there are a lot of Christians that have some weird interpretations.

You have a very narrow point of view, one that reeks of ignorance.
