Some idiot popped onto the WM devices forum I'm on, posting how we'd all be under the "Moslim"? shoe. Seriously. With pictures of 9/11, just to try and wind up the yanks ;)
"ONE DAY I THINK IS WELL COME VERY SOON ALL OF YOU WELL BE UNDER OUR MOSLIM SHOES AND MY GOD FIRE ITS FOR YOU
MY GOD SAY IN OUR QURAN:The Gathering (Al-Hashr)
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
1. Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, declares the Praises and Glory of Allah: for He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
2. It is He Who got out the Unbelievers among the People of the Book from their homes at the first gathering (of the forces). Little did ye think that they would get out: and they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah! But the (Wrath of) Allah came to them from quarters from which they little expected (it), and cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their dwellings by their own hands and the hands of the Believers. Take warning, then, O ye with eyes (to see)!
3. And had it not been that Allah had decreed banishment for them, He would certainly have punished them in this world: And in the Hereafter they shall (certainly) have the Punishment of the Fire.
4. That is because they resisted Allah and His Messenger: and if any one resists Allah, verily Allah is severe in Punishment. "
Now, predictably, this started a flame war of mild proportions. Predictably, I ragged on all religions equally, taking issue with the fact that I don't give a shit what you believe, but YOUR religion is not how I should live my life. It's a choice. Anyway, there was a link to an Islamic site, "islamway" or similar.
Predictably there was the "Muh, it's in squiggles, I can't read it", but for those of us with more than half a brain, there was an "Other Languages" tab.
Where I found this gem, in an article pertaining to the myth that Women are mistreated in Islam.
"English Christians burned millions of women alive on the mere suspicion that they were witches."
That would be quite some feat. The population of England, per se, barely reached 6 million in the period suggested. I believe the figures historically recorded suggest between 500, and 4,000, actual "Witches", and of that number, only some would have been burned... In fact, the recorded number of Witch trials in England for the period 1450-1700AD is 228.
