also, there are already mosques in the country; so the argument against another is rather hollow. and i would have to think it's not the people who are attempting to worship in public that are the issue.


after all, dell, how would you like it if someone used the awful happenings in your religion as a way to judge you? if you were lumped in with the bad apples?

You mean like if someone thought all Catholics were pedophiles?

that's exactly what i meant.
then there's that catholics don't think women should be in positions of authority.
but then, neither do southern baptists. or a lot of religions for that matter...

not sure if anyone saw this, recent report on the catholic church in ireland-showing that NOTHING has changed:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43744278...h-hid-abuse-s/


Focus on 19 priests
The report, which focuses on 19 priests who allegedly abused children during a period from January 1996 to February 2009, lists how the diocese failed to report all sexual abuse complaints to the police and did not report any complaints to the health authorities between 1996 and 2008.

The bishop formerly responsible for the diocese, John Magee, falsely told the authorities that he was reporting all abuse allegations to the police, the report said.

He resigned in March last year after a Church investigation said his handling of abuse allegations had exposed children to risk.


The report also criticized the Vatican as "entirely unhelpful" by describing Irish church guidelines on how to deal with abuse accusations as "merely a study document."

If 50% or more of Catholics were victims of pedophiles, the comparison to arranged marriages would be valid. Fortunately for Catholics, it's not even close to that and sadly for muslim girls, they are victims of arranged marriages (in most cases as minors) at a far greater rate than 50%. At least here in America that should not be happening.

lol
boy, that went right over your head.

he's saying that you probably wouldn't like being called a pedophile.


i don't recall your concerns being voiced about hinduism. should their houses of worship also be banned here?

and my response went right over yours. If Catholics were involved in pedophilia at the same rate muslims/hindus are involved in abuse of their daughters his calling me a pedophile may have a valid basis. Provided I was still involved with the religion which, I am not.

I see you've added Hindus - an entirely different religion than Islam - onto your hate list.

I hate abuse of women and children more than anything. You obviously are able to look the other way. If a man can't respect his own daughter how is he expected to respect anything other than his own self-interests? Ignoring the problem will not make it go away and in fact perpetuates it making it seem valid.
