Human life can be cruel, vicious...
We had a Saudi client who was not allowed to do anything without her husband's permission...

	Yes. Why did they start the hate?….hate is never good.
Yes. Why did they start the hate?
My interactions with Muslim men have informed me that Muslim women have much more influence on men than appearances might suggest...never be persuaded by appearances...reminding me of Irish wisdom....when the man of the house, clearly states he is the head of the family, for his wife permits him....never, underestimate the power behind the throne.
You're going to protect a society and religion that has women killed for not covering their bodies?
It is entirely too easy to dismiss the group of people we disagree with, be it caused by politics, religion, sexuality, whatever.
There will always be some excuse to conjure when casting about to find a justification for our bigotry. Touring an empty cathedral or mosque does nothing to expose one to the experience of beholding a ritual. That is the appeal of Life or The National Geographic -- the photography that places the viewer in the midst of an action, be it a leopard seizing prey, a boy learning to break a horse, or a throng circling the Kaaba. When one stands there in person, the sounds and total exposure far exceed the mere photograph.
I don't buy the argument that Islam is so egregious that it's sins are unforgivable moreso than a state's. The UK and the US and every other country are guilty of atrocities, many of them ongoing as state policy or covert strategy. Yet, I don't hear anyone saying, "I'd never enter Congress or Parliament until they stop torturing detainees."
There must be an intentional intersection of the cultures that collide, and Christianity and Islam constitute major segments of the modern world. I can find no justification for sitting back and waiting for the world to heal itself -- it won't. We have to be the change.
The defensiveness from the liberal side appears to be reactionary.
Muslims are relatively oppressed in the US, culturally anyway, and it drives the religious right nuts to see people supporting them.
I find it incredible that people in JUB, who Muslims want to kill, usually go all out to defend Muslims while condemning Christians at the same time.
It makes no sense.
I'm almost sure that's Masjid al Haram in Mecca.
Millions of people pour into that mosque during the Hajj, and I do mean into.
Oh damn your right, maybe it was one of the most beautiful or largest in UAE..... it was huge a million I could not even fathom yet the Masjid al Haram seats or rather kneels 4 million.... Holy Moly
Muslims treat women the same way in the USA and other western countries. It's not a religion or a way of life to be admired or ignored.
