[hafeez587]

he is living in fool paradise..and I hate these so called pseudo Western Intellects..

they are on other side of extremism by advocating Zionism..

and what he says is totally not factual..if he thinks majority of muslim like him coz of wat shit he is saying then he is living on Mars..

[maghra]

Notice the Israeli flag, deviously placed behind the servants. That says more than any words uttered here.

[sulijoo]

Dante (Muslims won't know who that is, though in his 'Devine Comedy' he rather eloquently depicted Mohamet (Muhammad) rotten in Hell, with his guts hanging out) said that the hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in a moral crisis. It's time to choose sides, folks.

[silverspherecombo]

Have all of you you watched "The 3rd Jihad" yet? (You can find it on this website.)

What do you think of it?

[ammannojacku]

time will tell, whether the underline TRUTH of ISLAM CAN BE CONCEALED FOR EVER

ALL these fallacies that you and others had been advancing and putting forward as being part and parcel of ISLAM will be exposed in due course.

In the mean time if u sincerely believe and can prove they are part of ISLAM, then ENJOY YOURSELF FOR A LITTLE WHILE

C U LATER

;+D

[rOaCh2000]

oh and i'm terribly sorry that you've never seen a stripping arab lady before. you're totally right islam must be reformed to fulfill your carnal desires

[rOaCh2000]

very funny very very funny. seems as if white man wants to turn everyone nice and white once again. it's obviously clear that the white man's ambitions to transform everybody WHITE is up and happening once again. first it was with the blacks now it's with the muslims. to all my muslim brothers and sisters don't take these faggots seriously or give consideration. islam is islam and that's all there is to it. i'm sorry you're(kaffir) offended by the way we defend ourselves

[msahib]

The words "reformers' and "leaders" do not apply to these low life characters. Rushdie wrote "WHITE WOMEN ARE FOR FUCKING AND THROWING OVER!" in his book "The Satanic Verses". Following Rushdie, black boys raped a white woman. In the same book, he repeats the four letter words at least 4000 times. He had imaginary sex with the Queen. Rushdie should have been pelted with shoes. I know Salim Mansur closely. These scum have no influence in the Muslims community.

[amalwa3li]

I met Rushdie once in person after a lecture he gave at my college about a year before I became Muslim. At the time I was the typical white American college girl. He looked at me like I was utter trash. I was also shocked by the amount of cursing in his lecture, and I thought at the time it was because he was British, but now I know it's just because he has a foul mouth, and an even fouler pen.

Don't forget msahib, that he also called the British men as sister-f***ers.

[DharmRakshak2]

@amalwa3li You realy think we are all idiots like you muzzies are and wont realize that you are lying?

[vernonsim]

Saladdin65 has seen Satan!! He says Rushdie looks like Satan, he/she must have been to HELL to make a stupid statement like that! These are the brave intellectuals who are speaking up against the tyranny of political Islam & seeking reform and change within Islam as a whole! Bravo to them!!

[ammannojacku]

== The EARTHLY Punishment for an apostate is stoned CURVED in the bible Deut 17:2-7,Lev 24:16 Not Islam ==

[MartinJWillett]

Bollocks. That (Deuteronomy) is not the penalty for not believing in the Jewish monster-god, that is the penalty for worshipping other gods, the sun, or, wait for it, the moon. Why does Islam, an apparently proudly monotheistic creed use such a clearly pagan and polytheistic symbol as the moon as its symbol? The Leviticus reference is for blasphemy, the ultimate victimless crime, not apostasy.

[mrsultan001]

Well I am a great proponent of Christian Muslim alliance and think we need to especially face together the threat of vast conversion of to atheism esp in Europe. But since you have two points which i think needs to be clarifed. Ok Deut 17 you can say its blashpemy but Lev 24;16 is cleary for apostate and please read the context to make thinngs even more clear and "blasphemy" by the way is just disrespect to God and Bible has this punishment for it.

[MoslimKid]

Why is it that those who are total failures are the loudest about reform? Salman Rushdie is a complete failure as a person with four failed marriages. His last wife was obscenely younger than him. He is an opportunist in his career and relationships. Bashing Islam is hardly a respectable career.

[Hottides]

Salmon Rushdie authored a great work of literature that caused millions to reconsider their allegiance to Islam's mental and spiritual tyranny. His prior marriages and the age of his spouse have no bearing on his greatness. Funny Muslims should object to Rushdie's wife's age, considering their prophet's child bride, Aisha.

[SnoopDicketyDawg]

What a stupid tit! I remember no one reconsidering his allegaince to Islam based on that work of fiction. Actually I remember a lot of people drawing closer to Islam, the same as after 9/11. Bloody filth you are. LIAR

[Tantegans]

it doesnt matter. Since when do people have to live a perfect life to say something true?

[Saladdin65]

who posted this shit!

this bastards insulted Islam!

how can someone reform Islam who insulted it!

This fatty ugly bastard says not every muslim is against him!

I am muslim and I would knock him dowm with no mercy!

Wallahi! And I even don't practicize Islam.( But one day I will insallah!)

Allahu akbar!

[vernonsim]

Oooohhh.... wow Saladdin65! What an angry voice u have! Shhhh.... calm down... Maybe you should take up a course in Buddhist meditation (for inner peace)? What a hateful voice u have,(...knock him down ...no mercy!...) Maybe you might want to try a course on Jain philosophy and teachings? Oh I'm sorry, Of course from your comments, Islam would have taught you all that. Or was it jihad...and beheadings ..and suicide bombings!!??

[Saladdin65]

Look at Salaman Rushdie he is like the devil himself!

Dude is he ugly!

Salman we will get you!

Motherfucker!

Again Jewish flag in the backround!

JEW.

Even the Quran says the JEW will be the one who will be your biggest enemy!

Allahu Akbar!

[robaby1984]

First of all, Salman Rushdie has said he is NOT A MUSLIM, so why should he care about Islamic Reform and what part of this verse do they not understand: [2.256] There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error; therefore, whoever disbelieves in the Shaitan and believes in Allah he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which shall not break off, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.

[democast]

Let's concentrate on religious spirituality and reject authoritarianism and intolerance of non-Muslims.

[CanadianBeaver]

we must Stop Religion all Religion as the basis for them all is Killing of anyone outside there Religion anyone without the Tag is good as Dead and that is Sick... get help for the Sick of Mind... these Men think there is a voice in there head telling them to Kill and Hurt others even there own it sounds oh I dont know, WRONG...

[musicfane14]

I will call them New Muslims. And I declare that they do exist. They were my classmates. I didn't know that they were Muslim until we prayed to Allah at their dinner table. The parents were very open: they not deny the kids a Christmas tree during the Eid. They did this because they wanted the children to be assimilated into the culture as much as possible.

[FairandUnbalanced]

Basic message: support those Muslim dissidents in the Muslim world who are committed to non-violence and free speech. They are intimidated by the fascists and need our support. This is very damning evidence against cultural relativism. They are not so different from us. Political and religious dissidents from that part of the world are risking their lives and are very brave!

[musicfane14]

I agree with 'FairandUnbalanced' 100%! We in the west must do more to support the Moderate Muslims who are being intimidated by the Radical Muslims. The Radicals are trying to shame and intimidate the Moderates. We have to protect the Moderates. They are risking their lives by speaking out.

[rezza10]

If you really believe in such a thing as Moderate Muslims then the war is already lost. It's akin to saying Moderate Nazis or Moderate Hitler. No such thing.

[ANDRE7MONK]

there's no such a thing as a Moderate muslim in the arab world. Maybe there are in the US but in arabia most muslims support terrorism and are heavily brainwashed by that satanic book = Quran

[ziggy2ras]

i believe the only thing to support is taking a pair of scissors to the koran and chopping every discriminatory verse and barbaric practice. Only then will moderation be possible.

[puseye]

ANDRE7MONK, "there's no such a thing as a Moderate muslim"

You got that right. Islam ISN'T a moderate religion.

[rOaCh2000]

wafa sultan hirsi ali walid shoebat brigitte gabriel and the rest are not muslims.
