Deoband declares birthdays un-Islamic

What an outrage!

Good for her.

I think once the women of this so called religion wake up there will be no more islam!

Where there is an unhappy Mohammedan, can Dhimmitude be far behind?…

just that the history of conflicts between secularization and religion suggests that that approach won’t accomplish much if it’s too adversarial.

This is funny as hell.

False analogy. Muslim doctrine supports these particular concepts of divorce, whereas Christian doctrine does not support polygamy, much less statutory rape.
A doctrine should be judged on its own merits, not on the merits of its followers.

That is exactly the point I made on the earlier thread re: what Muslims don’t like.

Turkey blames Jews for genocide bill.

ISTANBUL (JTA) — When a U.S. congressional committee approved a resolution recognizing the World War I-era massacre of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire as genocide, Turkey’s reaction was swift and harsh: Blame the Jews.

So there you have it, another problem with Muslims, primarily Turkish ones, that you can add to the list of what Muslims don’t like.

Michelle Malkin presents a new feature on her blog – listing things that Muslims don’t like. For example, we have the subject of bikinis, one of the things they dislike, and look at what’s happened recently in Birmingham in England:…

But sadly, this Malaysian (me) reports that sms divorce is still legally binding in Malaysia.

Man divorces two wives in three mins via sms (Malaysian papers, 2008)

Just from a pragmatic level, the more modernity casts itself as opposed to Muslims, the more Muslims will hate modernity.

This is a serious and fundamental misunderstanding of Islam. Islam states that the most glorious period was that time when Mohammad was alive and acting as prophet. Since then, humanity has gone in continuous downward spiral that can only be redeemed once the rightful Caliphate is once again in charge. Thus, modernity is at odds with Islam, as it represents the furthest possible time period away from the time of Mohammad. Further consider that the doors of Ijtihad were closed in the 12 century, meaning that Muslims could no longer use reason to interpret the Koran. Given that 12th century reason is considerably different than 21st century reason, it stands to believe that those who follow the strict doctrine of Islamic radicalism would be opposed to all aspects modernism. There is nothing we can say or do to change this, and “newspeak” that will not offend this type of Muslim does not exist.

In contrast, Christianity believes that we are in an upward trend since the death of Christ. Hence the idea that we can learn from our mistakes and improve upon them, with a critical eye towards the past, is not only acceptable, but encouraged.

I’d say that’s a pretty big difference.
