Your choice of words say a lot about your outlook on life.

You think she's special because she had FGM? It's so common there and it's an abhorrent act but she's lucky she escaped. Imagine all the other girls it's happening to. It's thankfully lessened over the years but some villages still do it.
I think that since it was done to her, she can speak about it...she has intimate knowledge of the practice, yes.
Ya, its a sad practice, and it goes along with what I was saying in my op about the desires of women, which breaks down to breaking down girls...:(

I can’t debate about the lessening of it there, but recently its been in the news that it’s happening here.

The entire concept of taquiya that you use to dismiss anything you don't like is false.
Well, I’m not dismissing things I don’t like, I just understand that with taquiya muslims are allowed to lie about islam to make it look better to non muslims. So, ya, that sticks out to me, when muslims try to say something isn’t islam, when clearly, the founder of islam did the same things.

You don’t know my age and I haven’t told my age...
I’m not bitter or hateful, just telling it like I see it.
.
You're an old racist woman. I believe you to be extremely bitter and hateful and it probably has something to do with family. It's why you put up a front. I still pray for you though because I know no one wants to be bitter and hateful. God bless you, Lisa.

What an example of proper debate etiquette. "You're an old racist woman," Such a thoughtful counter-argument.

Well, again no one know my age...so you don’t know that I’m old. Haha, guess the honoring the grandma thing went out the window?

How am I racist? Is islam a race? It can include different races, but its not a race.

You can believe me to be bitter and hateful, but its not me that comes unglued when in a debate. I treat you kindly whether you hurl insults at me or not...so to me the hateful bitter people are the ones who hurl the insults...

I did notice this as well. No I don't believe that the United Nations should have international control or that there should be an international bill of rights ...
Well, whether or not either of us thinks there should be an evolving (secular based) bill of international Human Rights, one is already on the drawing boards, as the embedded link shows. I think that international bills of Human Rights are an extension, a continuation of the very "Western" Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen, or Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. This time around, it seems to me, the bill is global instead of local (and to me it's not all bad, though certainly controversial).

I type this out because I think you will appreciate and find it interesting. Arnold J. Toynbee, in the middle of the past century, who was a member of the arguably dodgy Chatham House and British Round Table Group, but who nevertheless is still one of my favorite historians and political observers, wrote this:

"This concentric attack of the modern West upon the Islamic world has inaugurated the present [note the word, he has already described prior encounters] encounter between the two civilizations. It will be seen that this is part of a still larger and more ambitious movement, in which the Western civilization is aiming at nothing less than the incorporation of all mankind in a single great society, and the control of everything in the earth, air and sea which mankind can turn to account by means of modern Western technique ...

Thus the contemporary encounter between Islam and the West is not only more active and intimate than any phase of their contact in the past; it is also distinctive in being an incident in an attempt by Western man to "Westernize" the world ..."

Source (pp. 186-187)

Although I haven't read it in its entirety, some say that Samuel Huntington's much-discussed The Clash of Civilizations and Making of World Order is anticipated here, in Toynbee's work.

Toynbee was not arguably dodgy. Toynbee was a supporter of Hitler. I would just like to point that out.

Samuel Huntington..... I don't think he was balanced. Wasn't he in some way associated with the neoconservatives? let me look that up....

yeah screw that guy..... "During the 1980s, he became a valued adviser to the South African regime, which used his ideas on political order to craft its "total strategy" to reform apartheid and suppress growing resistance. He assured South Africa's rulers that increasing the repressive power of the state (which at that time included police violence, detention without trial, and torture) can be necessary to effect reform. The reform process, he told his South African audience, often requires "duplicity, deceit, faulty assumptions and purposeful blindness." He thus gave his imprimatur to his hosts' project of "reforming" apartheid rather than eliminating it."

Wikipedia is not always correct of course.... but if it's correct about that.... yeah screw that guy

And on that note, this would be very relevant to the discussion of Daniel 11. Whenever I read anything about the UN's plans for things like this, I think of the verses that precede Daniel 11:37.

"21 “He will be succeeded by a contemptible person who has not been given the honor of royalty. He will invade the kingdom when its people feel secure, and he will seize it through intrigue. 22 Then an overwhelming army will be swept away before him; both it and a prince of the covenant will be destroyed. 23 After coming to an agreement with him, he will act deceitfully, and with only a few people he will rise to power. 24 When the richest provinces feel secure, he will invade them and will achieve what neither his fathers nor his forefathers did. He will distribute plunder, loot and wealth among his followers. He will plot the overthrow of fortresses—but only for a time."

So everything that the UN does to present the impression that they are creating peace and security makes me think of this verse.

We know that this person spoken of towards the end of Daniel 11 is the beast referred to in the book of Revelation by this description of him.

“The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place" (Daniel 11:36).

"5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months." (Revelation 13:5).

An interesting thing about his identity is given in Daniel 11:41

"41 He will also invade the Beautiful Land. Many countries will fall, but Edom, and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand. "

So we know that he is not a descendant of Esau or Lot. Ammon and Moab were the descendants of Lot and Edom is how the descendants of Esau according to scripture.

Therefore, it is possible that the UN's protection of human rights is a farce. In particular, anything that could said as defense of the rights of women.

Muslims are not commanded to lie about our faith. When a Muslim describes the religion to you, you can't dismiss it as "taquia" just because it doesn't align with your hateful notions.
I don’t just dismiss it as taquyia for no good reason...you have read about the killings, the rapes, the terror perpetuated by muslims all around the world? That’s what I mean when actions speak louder than words. I might be able to believe you, if that stops and never starts again...but at this point, taquiya seems the reason to dismiss them, and say it isn’t islam.

Actually the Quran and actual practicing Muslims are the reason. Muslims can't kill or r*pe people or force them into the religion. Out of the billions of Muslims, you are going to judge the religion by the actions of a few thousand? Terrorism is committed by other groups as well, in fact the majority of terrorist attacks are committed by non-Muslims.

No, I’m going to judge through the eyes of history. I find it clever that islam mysteriously laid low for a while to the point no one now knows what islam is anymore.

Muhammad, your founder did exactly all those things that you say muslims can’t do, so when you say that they can’t that makes me think you are lying and practicing taquiya.

What other terrorist groups are operating today?

Would you call the recent immigrants in western Europe terrorists but not muslims?

When you spoke of "Western" values, the quote from Toynbee came to mind. He provies what sounds like a statement of a secular missionary, and he states the ultimate goal: worldwide conquest (and not with Islam as victorious).
hmm, I had to refresh where we started. You quoted me saying "freedom of religion," not "western values." I do think these are two different things. There is evidence that freedom of religion is a beneficial precept. There isn't evidence that everything that is done in the west is beneficial to society. So I don't usually use that term unless I am honestly being lazy in picking out the particular attributes of the west that I believe have evidence of a positive effect.

Either way, in regard to the quote that you presented from Toynbee, I am torn in my opinion of it. I know that I don't think his quote fits the description from Daniel 11 I quoted the way the UN human rights declaration does. I do like some things about secularization and prefer a secular approach more than a theocracy for the simple fact that secular equals some greater degree of flexibility than a theocracy affords.

It is also the first time I have heard of him. What do you think about the quote you presented? Do you think it would be positive or do you think it verges on the same inflexibility that theocracies present?
