[quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous]Muslima, you are saying over and over that is not Islam, those behaviors are not being done in the name of Islam.

But if large numbers of muslims over and over are saying that it is indeed mandated by Islam, that they are doing these violent acts because their religion tells them to, that women do not deserve rights because that is what Islam says, and then back it up with lassages from the Koran, then who are we to not believe what they say at face value?

At least for those large numbers of people, that IS what Islam teaches.[/quote]

I don't see the large number, you're talking about. Are they Muslims who bridge those things?  Yes but they are not the majority at all,  not even close to it.. Also, you are confusing Muslims with Islam.  There is 1.6Billion Muslims in the world.  You should check the Gallup poll that they did"what do a Billion Muslims think" I attached a link to the documentary that you can watch for free in am earlier post.. None of them gave any of the responses you did. Gallup also did  another poll where they only focused on Muslim Women in Muslim countries and this is what they found:
 "In sharp contrast to the popular image of silent submissiveness, Gallup findings on women in countries that are predominantly Muslim or have sizable Muslim populations hardly show that they have been conditioned to accept second-class status. Majorities of women in virtually every country we surveyed say that women deserve the same legal rights as men, to vote without influence from family members, to work at any job they are qualified for, and even to serve in the highest levels of government"

Islam must be judged on its own merits and not on the behavior of Muslims. Islam is a perfect system because it was created by God, just as we were. We, however, were not created perfect. Muslims have free will and we choose our ways of life and make our own decisions; sometimes they are the correct decisions and sometimes they aren’t. [/quote]
