Re: An ex-muslim woman speaks out (this one's for you, ushomefree).
The Sheikh respons :
That video is made of fail for a number of reasons.
1. I don't care what the Pope did. I'm not Catholic. Also, "pronouncing a curse" on someone is a lot different than blowing oneself up on him.
2. To characterize the Pope's actions--the Pope from the MIDDLE AGES, no less!--as representing all of Christianity is erroneous.
3. It doesn't matter what Christians do; it doesn't negate the woman's claims.
4. Ibn Rushd's position in the Renaissance has nothing to do with anything--Rushd's work doesn't address the claim of the clashing worldviews. Furthermore, to suggest that Europe would have remained in the Dark Ages without Muslim scholars is ridiculous.
5. La Reconquista is called "the Reconquest" for a reason--Ferdinand and Isabella were retaking land initially conquered by the Moorish invasion.
6. The "fate [of] the Native Americans" has nothing to do with the woman's claims. Yet another red herring.
7. He claims that there are TV channels in America that have no purpose save to attack Islam. One: provide proof of this or he's full of shit. Two: I don't care. That's part of the freedom of speech, not that he would understand that concept.
8. "Bush, the biggest extremist and terrorist in history"? Fail statements are fail.
9. Bushitler exterminated an entire nation? Is this guy on crack?
10. He claims that Islam was an ally of the West when Afghans were fighting the USSR. Have you heard the phrase "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"?
11. When Thatcher says what he does about Communism and Islam, why does he say it?
12. The "extremist Western Zionist Christianity" is warring against Islam? Try again.
13. The reason that Israel is allowed to have nuclear weapons--assuming the Sheikh's claims are true--is because we know that Israelis aren't going to strap nukes to their chests and blow the hell out of a bunch of people at a bus station.
Zeal Ex Nihilo--
The video was excellent; I agreed with everything the woman had to say. And the Muslim philosopher fails to address issues stressed in the first video. It reflects just how indoctrinated Muslims are--at least fundamentalist Muslims. The "Sheikh," as Fatima labeled him, never waivers--no shame; no embarrassment.

I never gave my point of view about what she said, because I do not really care about her words. I just posted the reply to let the viewer aware of the case.Clearly ,she was very successful in getting the media attention, now look she is the defender of the west and a hero.
Due to the fact that her eyes almost fall out of her narrow minded head, she is very far away from the truth...but is fully loaded with hatred. That s it.
She has to be educated in history, but not history american style...real history .

I think Islam and Christianity should merge, you know, like Texaco and Chevron did. Lets call it......Chrislam.
It would have almost 4 billion members and they would both be agnostic on the issue of Jesus' divinity...you know, to reach a compromising middle ground.

Those are a little more similar. Then again, Christians aren't the ones blowing themselves up.

Oh, you mean like when the Protestants were fighting the Catholics?Those are a little more similar. Then again, Christians aren't the ones blowing themselves up.
There were a number of suicide bombers in Ireland.
No, the Christians aren't the ones blowing themselves up. They're blowing up other people, and claiming they have God behind them. Doesn't make the six o'clock news in this part of the world, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Like Devil King said, Christians aren't blowing each other up, but they are doing a great job of blowing up men, women, and children in other countries.
