between 1600 and 1900 christians killed 20 MILLION ETHNIC INDIANS IN AMERICAS
FIX THAT BY BUILDING A MEMORIAL AT LEAST FOR THAT HOLOCAUST
BUT THEY WERE INSECTS AS THEY WERE NEITHER CHRISTIAN NOR JEWS OR WHITE -THEY WERE JUST THE NATIVES
THEY HAVE NO MEMORIALS EVEN AS THEY ARE NOT WORTH REMEMBERING
FIX YOUR SICK MINDS -AS YOU ARE NOT EVEN WORTHY OF BEING CALLED HUMANS MUCH LESS CIVILISED OR DEMOCRATIC
but neither are you, for ethinic cleansing in arabic countries are a part of history...
i would like to see Obama's wife take on some sort of role since Obama has the loyalty (for now) of the Islamic people by and large. laura Bush did that in her outright support for Afghani Women through the promotion of micro loans to women and funding for education.
TRUE
BUT THAT LOYALTY WILL DISAPPEAR AND I ALREADY KNOW MUSLIM FRIENDS WHO ARE TELLING ME I AM WRONG ABOUT OBAMA -HE IS LIKE BUSH OR EVEN WORST
AND THEY ARE ORDINARY HARD WORKING FOLKS
I HOPE OBAMA HAS SOME VISION WHICH I ANTICIPATED INITIALLY BUT IT SEEMS TO BE ON LEAVE PRESENTLY -SAD
can you all ck this web sit
so you not just watching one said of the real terr....

Unfortunately Muslim men see it very differently and they call the shots. It's true, in every culture where women are valued for their complete capabilities and children are loved in a stress free environment there is greater progress.
Mangy, no Muslim except a minority who are like yourself accept you as Muslim. Islaam does not recognize you as a Muslim. You go against the fundamental scriptures of Islaam. As Allaah says in Surah Maa'idah verse 44: "And those who do not rule by what Allaah has revealed, then indeed they are the disbelievers" and you make it permissible to twist and distort the rule of Allaah by your sick desires.
Islaam does not need reform like you accuse it of. It is just that Muslims need to follow Islaam according to the proper understanding. And there's no way you are near to the proper understanding of Islaam. You're closer to disbelief, you desire to implement clear disbelief and claim it's Islaam.
Take your feminism and lesbianism elsewhere.
You guys should start using brains not just follow the age old scriptures and mullah's. Unless you start thinking independently you will never make progress in your lives. Why can't lyou eave your religion at home and act normal like everyone else. Learn to live peacefully.
Better yet, take your murdering Islam elsewhere!!!
Islam is the most beautiful and perfected religion. I am a muslim woman doctor, and I became who I am by following entirely Islamic principles. Islam is what gave me the freedom and guidance to become a strong, independent, confident woman with a career without losing myself. Islam encourages women to get educated. Contrary to popular stigma, Islam does not obligate a woman to household duties or cooking for the family. Men can also do household duties and cook.
Manji is just using Islam as a scapegoat for losing herself to the corruption of societty. I am very surprised such a legitimate journal, like Newsweek, would accept an article from a emotionally disturbed terrorist, like Manji.
Are you kidding - yesterday a muslim woman suicide bomber blew up a Mosque killing several muslims in Iraq. Here is the link to article
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/04/AR2009010400504_2.html
Islam is the only religion in which its priests, schools, charities, governments ask muslims to go blowup themselves and kill people. Do you call this a peaceful religion. You are out of your mind
What are you smoking?! Can I have some? Writng a critical article is hardly terrorism. Walking in to a school and detonating a bomb, now THAT'S terrorism. Throwing acid in the faces of little girls, THAT'S terrorism. Beheading for minor offenses, THAT'S terrorism. I could go on forever. And where did you buy your medical license? From some unwashed mullah?
Wow, I did not get that feeling at all from the article. I believe she is a critic of certain Muslims and certain Muslim countries/communities/governments, not a critic of Islam itself.
richard and all the mice from gottemburg -thet were called saxons then
went to pillage and rape and plunder the silk route
now the silk route is an oil ocean
and some white pups want to drink that oil
they know not oil can choke them
did u see quantum of solace
while the last batch of mice were enmeshed in the silk
these will drown in oil itself
so like richard they sent some roottweilers to the same land too
with tanks called me-aka-must die
murkata is just the moronic equivalent of the iron forts that richie the rat rich built in palestine 700 years ago
so the rabid white puppys will get no MUKTI from the marwata or the mortalata as well
only mortality
Huh?
and how do you fix the midwest and the paedophiles who import puppys from indo china into the bible belt for sexual orgies
and how go you fix the cowbelt where low caste hindus are burnt for touching a brahmin
and then fix the jewish zionosts who kill prayers in mosques during morning prayers in the name of jehovah
manji has amnesia and something called ignorance but worst she and newsweek are on a moronic and amusind self indulgent trip
enjoy it guys -hope u get your kicks from the hatred and abuse you recite -is it better the sex
i suppose manji is a virgin and knows not the erotic pleasures
she needs some advice from muslim women
as they are more productive and fertile then other counterparts
they know how to get what they want from their men
Gen Pershing demonstrated the best method of "fixing islam". He captured 50 terrorists and filled a pit with swine parts then threw 49 dead ones into the pit and buried them with the pigs. (That means no myrtars but they went to hell.) After the demonstration to the remaining muslim he released him to spread the word to shape up or "sleep with the pigs". The problem was solved for nearly 50 years. Moral: To get the donkeys attention- HIT HIM WITH A BALL BAT.
Kudos to Herr General Pershing!
For God sakes just shut up.. how ignorant must you be to come up with crap like this. You have no understanding of Islam and Muslims and yet you spew your hate. You are worse than alqaeda and their ilk. Grow up!
Islamic women have a lot more power inside the home that people would like to believe. The prolbem is with religion in general, because it is NOTHING but a boatload of lies meant to make people do stuff that people 10 thousand years ago or more, want them to do.
There is no 'god'. There is no 'devil'. There is NO such thing as 'good' or 'evil' outside of a VERY few things, the 'big 4' as I call them.
To smilethecrescent.... so what? PedoSEXUALITY is a normal sexuality, that some people have a problem with because they don't want to realize that since children are born with genitals and there is no 'force field' around their genitals until a certain age.... it's pretty apparent that they are supposed to be having sex with other children and adults VERY early.
In fact, I think that the only thing the 'devil' created were STD's, in order to fool people into 'monogamy' that was NOT meant by any god, if one ever even existed.
You are obviously a pervert and a homosexual. You are a disgusting and mindless individual. Children deserve protection and a childhood. You sicko gays just anger me when you make comments like this. Anyone who supports pedophilia deserves to be STONED to death--- Inshallah this will happen to you.
I am going to report you to the authorities. You probably have a huge amount of child porn on your computer and I hope you get arrested.
You are depraved, but you made my point for me. This is why we need more Islam
Freddiek, people like him do not deserve a response, he has been all over this website today spewing his poison. The more you converse with him the more he spews.
No, we need Jesus!!!
How do you fix Talmudic Jewish Supremicists
The author of the article hits the nail squarely on the head. She's not only thoughtful and creative in her thoughts, but she's absolutely correct in her conclusions. Very impressive and in particular I like the general solutions she positions as tools of use to improve all the interconnected lives of all the souls on the planet.
all these ragheads need is a lap dance
This artlcle is so very hopeful, it lifted my spirits. I live in Israel. My community is only meters away from 3 Palestinian villages and 1 Israeli/Palestinian village. Lately I have noticed that the new houses being built in the villages do not have the flat rooftops as of old, but modern peaked, tiled rooftops. The flat rooftops used to be the place where Arab women hung their laundry. I can only assume that the houses with peaked rooftops have clothes dryers. With modern applicances comes time to pursue other interests besides housekeeping. I also see many Arab women walking together in the evenings for exercise, and there are more and more Arab women joining exercise classes offered in the area. Women with free time; women talking with other women; women looking beyond the immediate family....I see a revolution in the making. I agree with the writer that it will be the women who will turn Islam in a different direction than the one in which it is currently going. Insha-Allah.
Strange, that of all the brilliant scholars out there, Newsweek & Fareed Zakaria can find no one better than this person who is clearly not an expert by any standards, clearly one who is most definitely does not even understand enough of the Islamic faith to recognise that she is no longer a 'believer' herself, to write about this subject. Ms. Manji - I recommend jassmanjim's advise to you - do 'try' being born again, will you?
Before I state my opinion, I would like to say that I was born and raised in the Catholic Faith. It is true that I do not practice said faith anymore, however, once you have been trained in a faith, it is hard to disregard its teachings. Irshad Manji???s article is a very thought-out suggestion to the problems engrained in ANY kind of radicalism, as one can see by the comments and reactions to her analysis. Before anyone criticizes her religion and her conclusions in this article, one should not forget ???The Crusades???: which were a series of religion-driven military campaigns done by Christina Europe against external and internal opponents of the Christian religion.
Your are welcome back anytime you want. Jesus in the Eucharist is calling.
why is islam being portrayed as a sick religion that is completely against peace and humanity?! why is islam to blame if a man decides to blow himself up "in the name of islam" why is islam to blame if the Iran government cannot interpret certain passages from the quran correctly and take them literally? why is islam to blame if the law in saudi arabia and some other arab country states that any women who has sex before marridge is to be killed? these are all crimes commited by the "followers of islam" and not islam itself! for example when the ku klux klan were around they were waving crosses as if to symboly christianity, do i then go on to think that all christians are rasicts! of course not! i say that there is something wrong with the people and not the religion. it is exactly the same case here were it is people and no the religion that does this. in response islam was not spread by war, war was fought because other people in the gulf that were in charge of many powerful tribes saw islam as a threat to there power and so fought mohammed (S.A.W) so he had no choice but to defend himself. and when people went to other lands preaching islam, the governments of those lands at the time did not accept it and mohammed was again forced to defend themselves. this is the same wy as christianity was spread, it was the religion of the romans and when they conquered europe they took their religion with them and thats how it got to the U.S ( the first americans were europeans). and i have heard many things about muslim women wearing headscarfes and people are then saying that this is demeaning to women and takes away their rights. this , i beleive, is nonesense. the law was introduced at the time of the prophet to infact protect women! it was to cover there charms ( e.g. hair and other areas of there body) so that men wouldnt see them, and be less liable to sexual attack. and as men in those days, in the region were seen as much higher then women and they could get away with almost anything, so this law was introduced as a measure of protecting women. and one last thing, living in kuwait (a muslim country) i have day to day encounters with people from other religions , christians, jews, hindus, buddists, sikhs etc. and they are in no way shape or form prosecuted by the government for following there religion, and if you had actually visited a muslim country instead of beleiving some garbage you read on the internet you would know that this is not true.
makhseed let me see if I get this straight - the problem is not Islam but it's followers. I'm confused here. Who determines what is the 'correct' for a Muslim to behave? Who speaks for Islam? You speak of the KKK. The KKK was not Christian and were chastised by most Christians. Were is the response of Muslims to the many attrocitieties comminted 'in the name of Allah'? The only response we see is celebrating over the 9/11 attacks.
We've got a saying in the Us 'walk the talk'. Until we see Muslims LOUDLY condeming what others are doing in the name of your religion and are actually working to stop those actions what are we to believe about Muslims? We think you are a 7th century death cult that stones women, cuts off hands, whips people, etc. Please feel free to respond. We also believe in free speach and will allow you to speaks - something that doesn't happen in 'Muslim' countries.
I as a Christian do not hate Muslims. My Buble teaches me differently, but I do not see that in Islam. The Koran tells Muslims to make no friend of a Christian or Jew. There are whole books in the Koran "against" Christianity and the Jews. When reading the "Traditions", which are accounts of Mohammed during his life, even Mohammed went against the Koran. He had people killed because they left Islam, which is against the teaching of the Koran. He ignored the complaints of his wives when he spent so much time with little Aisha, his child bride (married her at 6, and sex at 9). His excuse? Allah gave him his revelations while in bed with Aisha. Recently in the middle east, some Islamic centers were closed because they were saying that it was now ok to marry 9 year olds because Mohammed had done it himself. Yes, Islam must change. The atrocities must cease. I have read the entire Koran, and I have read many of the "Traditions". I will stick with the message of love that Christ taught. Purity is a wonderful thing, but too many people are ready to cast the first stone, when already the "hate" in their hearts have made them the greatest sinner of all. As a Christian, I hear Muslims refer to the Crusades, and they spout hatred because of it. Please understand, the Crusades were the doing of the Catholic Church and thier Popes tring to play "god" That is unscriptual in itself. I am not catholic. I see Catholicism as a mutated form of Christianity. That is what happens when government and religion form together. It was the result of Christianity being accepted as the "official religion" of the Roman Empire. It started it's decline into the Catholic Church at that point. And that is what happens when Islam is the religion of a nation. It becomes an atrocity as Christianity did swith the Roman Empire and many years after. Change Islam . . let love rule instead of letting traditions and rules make the calls.
Um starlite - the Catholic is the original Christian church. Luther, Calvin and the other 'reformers' removed many things from Christianity. Once-saved always saved, the 'bible' alone, double predestination, etc. are protestant 'inventions' and are not part of Christianiaty.
Please read the writings of the early Church and compare to current Catholic beliefs. The real prescence of Jesus in the Eucharist, the role of Mary in salvation, the hierarchy of the Church with the Bishop of Rome, etc. were present in the early Church even before the Bible (Sacred Scripture) was finalized (almost 400 years after Jesus).
You are correct in many of your other analysis but you gotta' fix the anti-Catholic bias.
Your "Buble" teaches you different? You worship Micheal Buble? Granted he's a good singer, but I didn't imagine a cult following. lol
I loved the article and the respect for Islam, but the title of the article seems a bit harsh, "How to Fix Islam." Who are we to think we shoud fix a centuries old religion that we have no authority on. The title gives the wrong message
