YWC still stands against Sharia law

Molly was a columnist. She died from breast cancer. She was from Texas and was very funny. She wrote several books. I really enjoyed her work. I remember her being very tough on GW Bush. I think the first time I heard him called "W" was by her.

I don't remember her being affiliated with the NOW? I am not able to research it right now. Perhaps you have her confused with someone else?


I don't care if she was the tooth fairy's cousin. She was along with others most definitely a Feminist leader. WHERE ARE THE FEMINISTS?

Or is a 19 year daughter of a Vlaam-Belang leader the only one with the guts to speak the obvious?

Since you're bogged down with mindless minutia, the current NOW leadership is:
Terry O'Neill, President
Bonnie Grabenhofer, Executive Vice President
Allendra Letsome, Membership Vice President
Erin Matson, Action Vice President

And pray tell where are these International groups on the issue?

The silence is deafening. Women aren't entitled to the same Liberty as men? Would seem to fly in the face of the COTUS and Natural Law?? Or is there a hidden Progressive agenda?

Knowing this scintillating piece of information changes the question how? WHERE ARE THE FEMINISTS? on this issue?
 
It never was number 1. Here is the table going back to 2003:


Going in reverse order, the ranks are 6, 7, 7, 10, 8, 11, 15. The raw numbers are: 515, 492, 478, 405, 407, 392, 337.

In Belgium, as in some other European countries, the spelling of the name must be approved by the Population Registrar. In addition, please note that here are no variable spellings of the name in the top 100 names listed for each of the reported years.
So I'm not above stating that I stand corrected. Perhaps I meant Brussels rather than Belgium, but it is still my mistake. Any way you look at it, the Muslim population is growing at a pace that far outweighs any other religion.

Perhaps you did and perhaps you were right. Belgium is essentially 3 countries with a central government. You have Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels. You also have 2 and a half languages, Wallonia = French, Brussels=Dutch & French and Flanders which is Dutch and Flemish. I said half a language because I defy anyone not born there to show me the differences between Flemish and Dutch.

Each region keeps it's own records so don't apologize so quickly. Belgians regardless of what region are fiercely protective of their culture and heritage. The internal politics is mind numbing but let there be a perceived threat from outside and most of the squabbles internally get forgotten.
 
Some of the tenets and principles of Sharia and other legal doctrines have allowed residents of this country to be found not guilty of murder or "honor Killing" There was a case of some note in NJ. Let me see if I can find it and report back.

I find the whole "but in my culture I'd be found not guilty" as a criminal defense tactic to be offensive. Not surprising though given the world in which we live.
Not to argue on this one but lets look at why separation of church and state is a necessity and an obligation.

Sharia or any type of religious law can not justify murder. In the eyes of the government murder is murder. If someone is found not guilty for murder for any reason, one must find the underlying reason. I can find unlimited reasons for justifiable murder under Christian-Judeo laws. But it's more than 'in my culture' argument.

I'm moving on...
 
I remember a case where some judge ruled the guy was ok as Sharia covered it but it got overturned I think....It may have been just a beating if I remember. Dude beat the wife up I think.

Article on Sharia and US courts:

Article
If your article is acurrate, then separation of church and state depends on who you are. For Christians they must conform to state laws, while Muslims are allowed to insert their beliefs to trump the laws of the land. Obviously someone has the politicians in their pocket. This is the Eurabia that started in Europe in 1976! European politicians sold their countries out for oil and are now paying the price. Just ask Bat'Eor. 😛h34r:

Feminists, much like their Marxist counterparts, are only against the male dominated American society where they actually count 🙄
 
Indeed we did not! Wonder if Veritas will return and apologize? Seems doubtful.
There is nothing for which to apologize.

The original Daily Mail headline was:

"Belgian politician risks Muslim backlash after using teenage daughter dressed in burka and bikini for campaign against Islam"

The doctored headline that you posted stated:

"Belgium Politician, Daughter Receive Death Threats Over Muslim Veil & Bikini Ad Campaign"

Big difference.

Funny.......... :lol: .

That was the original headline from his original source..just click his link and, oh by the way, notice the reference to the source of the image on your way. :lol:

Let's parse this some more since you seem to be hung up on useless minutia. for starters she was NOT wearing a Burka. From the article,
"used a photo of his 19-year-old daughter An-Sofie wearing only a niqab — a face-covering Islamic veil — and cloak over her swimsuit-clad body" NOTE: Burka or Nigab BIG Difference!

Did you research the Vlaams Belang? Do you know why young An-Sofie posed for the party? Here is what she had to say, "The campaign fits in perfectly with how I feel about the whole issue. As women, we must choose: freedom or Islam."

Being of Flemish ancestry whose ancestors came from Antwerp, I'm pretty familiar with the Vlaams Belang whose ultimate goal is a Flemish Free State. Additionally the Vlaams Belang (Flemish Interest) advocates strict immigration limits and believes new arrivals to the country should adopt the Flemish language and culture. Not unlike many Tea Party Members here.

German Chancellor Angela Merkal has also weighed in on the issue. Merkel told a meeting of young members of her conservative Christian Democratic Union that while immigrants are welcome in Germany, they must learn the language and accept the country’s cultural norms — sounding a note heard increasingly across Europe as it battles an economic slump and worries about homegrown terrorism.

“This multicultural approach, saying that we simply live side by side and live happily with each other has failed. Utterly failed,” Merkel said.
One major reason why multiculturalism is a failure is its implicit moral relativism: all religions and cultures are seen as equals. But this means that those who adhere to Judeo-Christian values, and those who espouse a preference for Sharia law, are voicing a similar perspective. This is worse than nonsense: the former yields liberty and justice; the latter yields slavery. Jeff Field, Director of Communications, The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights

Next time Veritas, leave out the minutia and stick with the meat of the issue.
 
His source doctored the original Daily Mail headline. He should start vetting his sources.

I don't have to! IF and I stress IF you had the common sense that God gave an ant you'd know that the Daily Mail was cited in the Article. Since you clearly have yet to read the article from The Blaze, consider the following sentence from the article I linked. NOTE: Bolding is mine. As is color.

Filip Dewinter, head of the far-right Vlaams Belang — or “Flemish Interest” party — used a photo of his 19-year-old daughter An-Sofie wearing only a niqab — a face-covering Islamic veil — and cloak over her swimsuit-clad body in the campaign earlier this month, the Daily Mail reported. Across her chest is the message “Freedom or Islam?“ and ”You choose!” over her hips.


Now then, what exactly was "Doctored"??? An independent publication The Blaze wrote an article on the same topic as the Daily Mail, chose a different headline for either editorial or hype and published it. I, in turn copied it verbatim, so please in your infinite wisdom enlighten me as to what exactly was doctored?

Next time you come to a gun fight don't bring a bag of hammers as they are likely smarter than you.
 
Next time Veritas, leave out the minutia and stick with the meat of the issue.

And what is the meat of the issue? Seems to me the main issue here is people focusing and a "problem" that really is not there. So people waste their time on this instead of issues that are a whole lot more important. Another thing, replace the word Muslim with Jew and Sharia Law with Jewish Law and it ends up sounding like something a KKK member would say.

The topic at hand is the conflict between laws based upon judeo-Christian tenets and legal doctrine versus those of Islamic or Sharia Law. Yours is a straw man argument because as a nation we are founded upon the teachings of the Old and New Testament which includes Jewish Law.

As I have posted and pointed out the issue is coming to a head in Europe with the rise of the Vlaams Belang and now German Chancellor Merkle speaking out. While still a smaller issue here it is growing. Simply put Christianity gives us Liberty, Sharia gives us Slavery.

What could possibly be more important than to define who we are as a nation> Official Language=English, Learn it, love it. Ut's the only one Government forms should be printed in. If it was good enough for the millions who cam through Ellis Island, it's good enough of the current wave of Somali, Hmong and Hispanics. Secondly, we are a sovereign nation and our laws will be followed based upon the morals, values and ethics of those who wrote them. Don't like? Have fun in the sand. unhappy with the laws of this nation? Watch the door, don't let it hit you where the good lord split ya.

With the current situation they call it the "American Dream" because you have to be asleep to believe it.
