+1. This post calling Islam barbaric dates from 9/6. Reminds me of her obsession with the one poster who called Mohammed a pedophile, way back in August.

Meanwhile, OP
- called Mary a "rock star slut" for conceiving a son out of wedlock 
   [b]Yes, I did…not because I believe that, but to show you the fallacy and offensiveness of islamophobe's post calling the Muslim prophet a "pedophile." [/b]
- said that Christians aren't monotheists
   [b]Not really. What I said was that Islam rejects associating partners with God or believing that God can be a man.[/b]
- has no apparent objection to the Muslim poster who says Shi'ites aren't Muslims and we shouldn't trust Sufis
   [b]Any poster, Muslim or not, has the right to say who he trusts and who he thinks we should not trust. In Islam it is wrong to accuse anyone of not being a Muslim, however.[/b]
- has called individual posters bad cooks, retarded (her word, not mine), Pakistanis, unemployed, and more that I'm probably forgetting 
   [b]I don't recall calling anyone "retarded". Where is that post? And why is it bad to say someone is Pakistani?[/b]
- has called all of us Christian-evangelical-crusading gap-toothed STD-ridden grannies in mini-skirts with drug-addicted kids.
   [b]That has been apologized for. If you are unable to accept the apology, that is not my issue. It was in response to islamophobe suggesting Muslima post a pic of herself with her veil to garner public sympathy and to also show the offensiveness of stereotyping Muslims and Islam as barbaric. I had hoped that by drawing attention to typical American stereotypes, you would see how offensive and hurtful stereotyping can be. Apparently, you did not. [/b]

You can all do the math....

Meanwhile, many threads with disagreements over the meaning of "equality" and whether you have to have equal divorce/inheritance laws for there to be equaliry. That's right, the vast majority of posts have been disagreements on substantive issues.[/quote]

[b]I have quoted Leila Ahmed from her book and I will quote other scholars on their view of the very same issue. I haven't had the time to do that yet, but when I do you will see that for the vast majority of Muslim women, they do feel there is equity AND equality in Islam. It's just not the linear type of equality westerners understand.[/b][/quote]
