The Landover Baptists may be bat-shit-insane, but grant them this much: They're bat-shit-insane in a manner that's actually consistent with their big book of fairy tales. OTOH, the people of other faiths who argue with them just pick and choose the Bible verses that they like and answer all other verses with "La la la la la, I can't hear you."

Are you insane?

Ahmed, Now I know you said you would be away for a couple of weeks, but hopefully you will read this on your return.
I was reading with interest this article.
Could you please explain this quote

Because to use freedom of choice as a justification, then we are also accepting of women who undress out of this same freedom of choice, and we can never do this as Muslim women. We dress like this because it is the command of Allah, not any man.

Now it is my understanding, and please correct me if I have got it wrong, The in the Koran it only states that a woman should veil her breasts.

Now, just to be clear, I do not support the state dictating what clothing a person can or can not wear and my understanding of the Koran's stand point on the veil comes for a statement made by a Muslim Professor of theology.

Jo Freddie, the Qur'an verse you are referring to is;

24:31 And say to the believing women that they cast down their looks and guard their private parts and do not display their ornaments except what appears thereof, and let them wear their head-coverings over their bosoms, and not display their ornaments except to their husbands or their fathers, or the fathers of their husbands, or their sons, or the sons of their husbands, or their brothers, or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or those whom their right hands possess, or the male servants not having need [of women], or the children who have not attained knowledge of what is hidden of women; and let them not strike their feet so that what they hide of their ornaments may be known; and turn to Allah all of you, O believers! so that you may be successful.

Don't forget this Quran verse;

33:59 O Prophet! say to your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers that they let down upon them their over-garments; this will be more proper, that they may be known, and thus they will not be given trouble; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

To my understanding, it means women are to wear clothes that cover their female parts.

It is not often I would agree with you Pasta Pirate, but those imam's have mis-interepted the Quran.

Your anti-Christian hate speech only proves that we are blessed:

Matt. 5:11-12: Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

but grant them this much: They're bat-shit-insane in a manner that's actually consistent with their big book of fairy tales. OTOH, the people of other faiths who argue with them just pick and choose the Bible verses that they like and answer all other verses with "La la la la la, I can't hear you."

We'll file this one under "A stopped clock is right twice a day."
