Public execution of a young woman in Afghanistan

It may be their aim, but does that mean we should just give in and start knitting burkas?

No it's not. There is an evangelical movement in Islam but it is not the mainstream as far as I am aware.

There's an evangelical one in Christianity too. But we don't go round killing people.
What am I saying?
I'm not evangelical!
Chacon a son goute I say

If it hurts treat with allopurinol

Christians used to.. NB witches of Pendle etc
Catholic vs Protestants
Christian vs Jew
Crusaders etc etc

Not right whoever does it though

Not nowadays surely? I can't personally remember Pendle! I must have been very young at the time!

haha jeni think that was a while back 1600s I believe. I know we on GN are the older members of society but not that old
But Northern Ireland is still bubbling!

Sounds like quoted cauldron with witches! But seriously true!

Nan, I believe that Islam will take over the world with all my heart..I know that western society has many problems, & I know many people hate such things as Alchohol consumption to excess, sexualisation of our society, the way women dress etc..but what is the alternative?..please do not tell me that Sharia law is the answer, as women we would go back to the stone age as they will do again when we have to pull out of Afghanistan...The thing I hate most of all is hypocracy..I worked for 10yrs at a famous Health Farm, no names no pack drill!..Needless to say we had many Arab guests..I lost count of the times the porters told me that they nearly developed hernias carrying suitcases of illicit bottles of booze to these guests rooms..also a roaring trade was frequent in, lets say "ladies of the night" from London..gross hypocracy!! As I say we should be worried.
