Al-Qaida advises Americans to adopt Islam, a last chance

[Saddle Bronc 124]

Neither. Conversion will be take place over the TV-set. What faster way to convert Americans then to address them over their favorite pastime entertainment.

Run commercials during Jerry Springer, I'm sure that's fertile ground.

Yeah, commercial times usually mean production of LOTS of FERTILIZER. :lol:

Are you thinking through the subconscious by osmosis maybe (all-too-common that you see someone dozing in front of the moron-box; to wake them, you only need to turn it off or change the channel)? :lol:

(if you tried that approach to study for an exam, did you happen to ace it?)

Convert to Islam? Here's my answer...

Over 14 centuries, hundreds of millions have given that answer to chopf#cks (in 17th-18th centuries, Aurangzeb; now al-qaeda) demanding people convert to their version of "Islam".

(Your answer has been seconded, thirded, ..., lakhthed, ..., millionthed, ...)

I don't think it's sad at all for anyone to convert to Islam. It is sad that bin shaytaan and his followers think they can force it though.

Only those who were already considering (or in process of) doing so. Therefore, response to al-chopf#cks' video will be.........ZERO!!!!

and here's a preview of what's to come.........

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Lawmakers from a coalition of six Islamic groups threatened on Tuesday to vacate their parliamentary seats if Pakistan's government changes a rape law criticized by human rights activists.

A walkout by the 68 lawmakers could destabilize the government of President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, criticized by Islamic parties since his ruling party last month presented a bill to amend the law in a bid to protect women's rights.

Pakistan's National Assembly has 344 members. A walkout could force by-elections.

Under the current law, approved by a former military dictator in 1979, prosecuting a rape case requires testimony from four witnesses, making punishment almost impossible because such attacks are rarely public.

A woman who claims she was raped but fails to prove her case can be convicted of adultery, punishable by death.

Maulana Fazalur Rahman, a leader of the Islamic coalition, said Tuesday that lawmakers in his group would vacate their seats in the National Assembly if the government tries to get the assembly's approval to change the law.

"We will render every sacrifice for the protection of the Shariah (traditional Islamic) laws," he said at a news conference.

However, the ruling Pakistan Muslim Party — which has a majority in the assembly — has praised Musharraf for taking steps to amend the law and end the four-witness requirement.

What I would really like to know is what happens to the man? What if it's a married man who has committed adultery as well? Hopefully that is also punishable by death-although it seems so uneven. Like, as someone was explaining to me yesterday, women cover themselves up to prevent bad thoughts in the men, but it doesn't seem that men have to cover themselves up to prevent the same thoughts from women. The idea makes sense to me, but not why it's only applicable to one sex and not the other.

do the 4 witnesses get charged with complacency?

Men are also supposed to be modest and they are commanded to lower their gaze and not harrass women so it goes both ways.

I'm not sure of the religious aspect of this BUT in Saudi (they claim to (or try to) follow the sharia in most of their laws), if a man is convicted of rape his punishment is death... not a bad idea IMHO

As far as the four witness thing I have my own issues with this. While I agree that there should be four witnesses (to prevent someone from being falsely accussed and killed for something they didn't do), I don't understand why other things can't stand in as a 'witness'. -- For example... DNA, I think would make a wonderful witness... bruises on the girl could also be a 'witness'... any kind of proof that she could present really... I don't understand why those things couldn't count as 'witnesses'. Just my questions / opinions on it.

In this case, the rape laws were actually imposed to protect the country's soldiers (included considerable numbers who had taken part in "Operation Searchlight") from rape charges.
