#1 "It's a hatchet job," said Yvonne Haddad, a professor of Muslim-Christian relations at Georgetown University. "In the Koran there are verses that are very accomodating, very open, very pluralistic to other religions. . . . It was not a balanced representation," she said.

Sure. I mean he doesn't show them celebrating in the streets and passing out candy to the kiddos and all that good stuff. Of course they only do that when one of the chosen ones puts an airplane through a skyscraper or blows up a bus full of Joooos, but, hey, they're a complicated people...

#2 heh, heh - right now you are getting advertising from the "leading Muslim marriage advisors".

Must mean they are reading you.

#3 heh- couldn't help myself, I clicked. Most women covered but one photo of newlyweds with the female EXPOSING her hair. Maybe the purpose is to better educate her on how to be a good wife.

#4 "In the Koran there are verses that are very accomodating, very open, very pluralistic to other religions. . . . It was not a balanced representation," she said.

Mhw or an other Koran-savvy RBer will correct, but as far as I know the "tolerant/spiritual/religious" verses are from the mecca period, and the "intolerant/lawmaking/warmongering" ones from the medina one; and since the Koran is not a book as we western understand the word (rather, a support for something to be rote-learned in arabic, as arabic is the language spoken by allan), full of contradiction, with no logical order except the size of verses, muslim scholars had to determine which verse was appliable, and which was not.
And, basically, and this is islam 101, the earlier mecca verses are abrogated and replaced by the later medina ones. So, the "very accomodating, very open, very pluralistic to other religions" simply are not to be used, as allan changed his mind and the core of the Koran is those supremacist, bellicose, intolerant verses (plus all the silly stuff about heritage, wordly matters,...) straight from the mouth of a 7th century arab warlord/gangleader.
Either yvonne is naive and doesn't know the subject of her studies (unlikely), or she is just plain dishonest and/or self-deluded.

#5 I see the typical dhimi useful idiots are out in force trying to whitewash Islam again.

#6 Yvonne works for Georgetown's Alwaleed Center for Educating the Next Generation of Foreign Service Useful Idiots, so my vote is for dishonest/deluded, but mostly dishonest.

#7 Yvonne Haddad grew up in Syria. She knows about muslims, but I would guess she was raised in a Baath household. Her hatred for the west overrides her concerns, if any, about muslims. While she professes to Christianity, I would look to her husband to know what religion she really identifies with. What better revenge than to destroy the west from within and get paid very well doing it.

#8 Ok, here is what I noticed - these peaceful and toloerant verses and suras are never cited. Because, I couldn't find them - please point them out Yvonne. If it is so accomidating then why are there security concerns?

#9 For cryin' out loud--he film is no big deal after being here in Rantburg for the past several years. Bidness as usual in the fanatical world of jihad . . . I liked the short piece, and people really oughta wake up. When the Moslems say they're going to take over Western society--THEY MEAN IT. 20 years ago they were telling me they were going to destroy the World Trade Center, and had it in their minds that it was some cover or secrect base of of the US govt. I agree with Wilders--they are retarded.

#10 It would be interesting to make a film showign the beheadings and such and put peaceful slogans from the koran beside them. Nice juxtaposition, and fairly accurate to Islam.

Fact is a religion is what it's worshipers do. Islam is a violent religion accompanied by those that tacitly support that violence with their silence.

#11 No other major religion incites its people to blow themselves up in the midst of innocent crowds. That's not surprising coming from a religion started by a murdering, robbing, raping pedophile. Any Muslim who isn't condemning this stuff publicly is quietly in accord. The people who truly speak for Islam are the bombers and head-choppers; the rest are fellow-travelers.

I think payback is coming, and when it does, it's going to be really rough on them. They'll have no one but themselves to blame, either.
