Please clarify...what was it you think that you are educating people about?
And what was it you think that Stuff knows nothing about? She stated her opinions. You spewed yours and according to you she should "shut it" because you disagree with her.
Are you actually disputing the radical practices aspects of Muslim religion? You are disputing the fact that Muslim women are required to wear heavy garments (like tablecloths) from head to toe and are not allowed to drive and are required to marry whomever their male relatives order them to and are required to undergo genital mutilation before puberty and are routinely murdered for defying their male relatives or divorcing their husbands? Really? Or, are you just disputing the fact that Stuff and most other people find these practices objectionable? Does that mean that you think these practices are fine and dandy as long as the women agree to being stoned, mutilated, raped and murdered? Or, under what circumstances do you find these practices to be acceptable?
Since you are so educated on this topic, please link us to your informational sources which disprove the occurrence of these practices. I promise I will faithfully read whatever educational information you are able to present on this topic.
Or, did you just mean to dispute the fact that Stuff and most other people find these practices to be extremely objectionable? (You know, going back to your statement of how you are allowed to post your opinion because you know more than Stuff does, etc...)
It seems like some people here have a lot of prejudices against Muslims. Perhaps you are influenced by the western media which likes to paint Muslims as being evil.
The problem is not that Islam breeds violence and crime but polygamy. According to Psychology Today, countries in the Middle East and Africa where polygamy is legal are the most violent in the world. In those countries, because men can have many wives, there is a shortage of women. As a result, there will be some men who will never get married if they are too poor to afford a wife. Feeling like they have no future, these poor, single men will engage in more risky behaviour such as crime, terrorism, violence & rape. They will also become envious of men who have wives and will resort to rape if they can't have wives of their own. Women in Middle East must keep their heads covered as a protection against rape. However, the head covering doesn't protect them from rape since the envy of poor, unattached men from not having a wife is still present. This explains why the Middle East and Africa have such a high rate in rape and violence against women. The high rape rate in Africa have lead to the Aids epidemic among women in Africa. Polygamy also explains why it's one of the reasons that the United States is the most violent country in the western world. The U.S. has the highest population of polygamists in the western world.
