Male Muslims

[Bruno]

No food for wives who deny their husbands sex - can a good Muslim (or one of the more politically correct posters on this board) please tell me what kind of religion this is / why we would want to allow the male adherents of this faith into Australia?

Male Muslims should be kept away from Australian shores.

[optimax]

its not actually part of the muslim religion Bruno

Ita part of the stream that extreme muslims like those of the taliban follow.

Dont get sucked in to the extreme media hysteria that will have you believe this is muslim law its one arrogant disgusting male pigs interpretation of the Koran

and no i am neither muslim, or female. I just dont get sucked in by bullshit media

[optimax]

Look Bruno Wiki is your friend

The Taliban enforce one of teh strictest forms of shiria law

the leader of the taliban is this man
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullah_Mohammed_Omar
he actually believes he is the great prophet and leader of the muslim world

He is the one that enforces these stupid laws.

you are a smart man Bruno you cant actually believe every muslim man thinks its right to refuse his wife food for sex do you?

I agree with Optimax.

But the most contemptible person is that Khazai the president (and supposedly our ally) who has traded votes with these people to get re-elected and has come out in support of this legislation.

Pretty soon we'll be asking the same question Norman Mailer asked about Vietnam: "Why are we in Afghanistan?"

[Bruno]

I totally agree. I admit I am being deliberately provocative. It's like suggesting every Catholic is a paedophile because a number of it's Priests are / a number of senior executives did nothing to stop it.

Having said this, the practical application of Islam seems very masoginistic. Is there an argument therefore for limiting the number of Muslim males allowed into Australia relative to Muslim females? Should Australia be the beacon of light which frees Muslim women from their enslaving fathers, brothers and husbands?

No.

Islam is a legit religion and to deny people acess to the country on the basis of them being muslim is phucked up and wrong.

We have laws in this country, so if someone starts doing crap like that and treating their partner as a chattel, something can be done. It's not condoned or supported by our society which makes it a hell of a lot harder to get away with.

Bruno Catholicism is based around a male power base, most religions are Islam is not alone here

Thanks for telling me. There are a lot of people named Bill.

But Stui Magpie.... you are well aware that Sharia Law is on it's way to Australia aren't you?

This will ensure wives and sisters will indeed be treated as "chattel" and no NOTHING will be done. Why? Well, because any attempt at doing something to stop such practices will be branded as RACIST!

Just look at how the usual members of the PC brigade around here have reacted to this thread!

No, when Sharia Law comes it will be supported in the name of Equal Opportunity. It's happened here in Britain, it will happen in Australia.

I don't think Germaine Greer's "The Female Eunuch" resonates well with Muslim males.

P.S. Optimax, I don't accept there is as much misogyny in Christian Australia as what there is in Muslim Afganistan. I am not sure if you will be able to access it from Australia, but see if you can access last nights BBC Panorama programme on BBC iPlayer. It might be an eye opener.

Bruno, that is the equivalent of saying that Christians shouldn't be allowed in this country because of Fred Nile's church.

Since when did Afghanistan come to represent the entire Islamic diaspora? You call it 'deliberately provocative', but I reckon 'pointless attention seeking' is closer to the mark.

You and I both know that such a law would never be passed in most Muslim nations, let alone Australia.

I've often thought that some versions of Islam (e.g. Taliban style) are a bit like Christianity a few centuries ago. The vast majority that Westerners see as strange about Islam these days (e.g. status of women, strict laws, jihad) were all part and parcel of Christian societies back in time.

Of course, this is a shocking law, and we should condemn it, but that's a given. Not everyone in the world shares Western views on gender, etc.

All religions should be completely separated from the law making, and enforcement, process.

Since English singer Susan Boyle has been on TV there's been a marked drop in suicide bombing.

Apparently, a lot of the terrorists didn't realise what a virgin looks like.
