She who said "La ilaha illa Allah" / الذي قال انها "لا إله إلا الله"

الذي قال انها "لا إله إلا الله"
في الصلاة مع صديقاتها
خلف الرجال في المسجد،
ولكن اليوم يعبد سرا جاستن بيبر
هو مرتد أن يعلن القرآن
سوف نرى النار في الآخرة.
--- Translation: English ---
She who said "La ilaha illa Allah"
in prayer with her friends
behind men in the mosque,
but today secretly worships Justin Bieber
is an apostate that the Quran declares
will see the Fire in the afterlife.

Honor Killings are Domestic Abuse

Domestic violence includes honor killing.

That the State agrees honor killing is a religious matter and that somehow it is racist and violation of freedom to practice religion is in itself against sharia.

Sharia does not really condone honor killing. Indeed, the imam would say it is wrong, but the unsaid is "what can a religious leader do in the face of neoconservative Muslims?"

After that, you won't hear of one imam saying anything in public least he be subject to "public opinion" including threats against his life.

Yet if a Christian minister denounces domestic abuse, you NEVER hear of death threats against him, because despite State and Church in the west being separate, because West is based on Judeo-Christian ideology, no one would think of considering a priest or even a preacher of being unbeliever for criticizing violence against women and children.

That Islam condones such violence does not imply that their laws condone it. Rather, it means that Public Opinion in the Muslim world still honors the family before they do God.

In essence, the will of the family (hadith) is honored over sharia (the will of God).

So in essence, tho Muslim claim to believe in God, they still honor the family before they honor Sharia.

Indeed, they claim that honor killing are done out of respect to the will of Muslim society.

Though they believe in God, their first duty is to family, and they cover up their honor killings by hiding behind Mohammed.

For very few imams would dare disturb public order by condemning honor killing, lest some one in the Muslim community then think the community's honor is sullied by such "blasphemy".

In truth, honor killing is still a dishonor to God's will because the head of the family, a man, the father of the victim, usually a woman, kills and justifies it by stating clearly that is it the will of the Muslim community/society.

For the only authority then is Muslim society, not God.

Thus honor killing is done so that the Muslim man's honor is respected by his community.

Yet in taking a life, that Muslim is defying God's will.

That few Muslims see the difference between Muslim society and God with regard to God's will shows the depth of control that a society which uses shame as social control has over its people.

I Thank God for Being Buddhist Enough to See the Truth

I am thankful to the higher power that is God in being Buddhist, and not having heard of the Christian doctrines that have mislead so many people, and led to much suffering in the past.

If Jesus was out there now, and he is when two or more of us pray together, Christian fanatics would be harassing him.

For example, Jesus never emphasized the soul as a permanent thing that continues after death. This was a Greek and pagan idea incorporated into church doctrine. The Bible is not clear on this point at all. When you point this out, the fanatics get upset and tell you you are dissing Jesus. The truth is, emphasis on the soul concept over what Jesus said dissses Jesus.

As well, the Bible does not put Jesus first. It gives people the option to either go through the Door (Jesus) or to contact him directly (like Job and the prophets). Yet there is a fanatical reliance on Jesus while almost ignoring God. At this point the fanatics declare that "Jesus is Lord" means "Jesus is God". But Jesus said he was a son of man!!!!!!!

If you point this out to fanatics, then they want nothing to do with you because you are dissing their misrepresentation of what Jesus said.

When he said "I am the Truth, the Way and the Life" he did not mean "forget God, follow me". Rather he meant that in transcending ego, you shall find truth and know the way home to the Garden of Eternal Life. Though by "Eternal Life" is not meant a soul that exists after death. Rather, it celebrates God.

Therefore, Heaven and hell is here: [points to heart]

In declaring both places to be a physical location, the foolhardy invite madness.
