How not to offend JewishWorldReview ^ \| Michael Graham jewishworldreview.com Ladies, if you were at a social gathering and met a gentleman who refused to shake your hand because you are a woman, would you be offended? Well, don't be. It's only because he's a Muslim. And Professor, if you were giving a lecture on World History and one of your students jumped up in the middle of your class and began screaming death threats because you accurately quoted a 14th century Byzantine emperor, would you be offended? Please, professor, relax. It's only because that student is a Muslim. My gay friends, let's say you were at Harvard a few days ago, listening to Iran's "moderate" former president Khatami answering a question about the government execution of homosexuals during his term in office. If you happened to hear Khatami say that executing homosexuals is appropriate in some cultures — Well, I hope you weren't offended. It's not because he's homophobic. It's only because he's Muslim. It's a shame that there are so many misunderstandings in the world today. We Americans turn on cable news and see thousands of Arab Muslims marching in the streets or gunning down nuns over a university lecture, and we tend to think the worst. We generalize about the state of Islam, or we make judgments about the sanity of Arab Muslim culture. (Excerpt) Read more at jewishworldreview.com ....

Alleged Terror Leader: 'Naked Women Worse Than Bali Bombings!' Breaking News.ie ^ \| 9/20/06 breakingnews.ie Alleged terror leader Abu Bakar Bashir said TV shows featuring scantily clad women were more harmful than the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings that killed 202 people, the state news agency reported. The remarks were likely to anger Australia, which lost 88 citizens in the attacks on two crowded nightclubs. Bashir, recently released from jail after serving 26-months for conspiracy in the bombings, said images of naked or semi-naked woman on television were sinful and chipped away at the moral fibre of Muslim believers. “So, if I am asked which is more dangerous, naked women or the Bali bombs, then my reply is of course those women in skimpy clothes,” Antara quoted him as saying at a public rally calling for the imposition of Islamic law in Indonesia. Bashir, who denies any terrorist activities, did not elaborate. The United States and other Western governments have publicly accused the Muslim cleric of being a key leader in Jemaah Islamiyah, the regional terror group blamed for the Bali bombings and other deadly attacks in Indonesia. Bashir, 69, has travelled across the predominantly Muslim nation since his release from jail preaching in favour of Islamic law and against the secular government.
