Feminism is basically Jewish-oriented?

I guess that’s there’s a prayer Jewish males recite that gives that they were born men and not women.

Or are there just a lot of Jewish women who are feminists because, like me, it rankled them big time to listen to the boys recite this prayer in Hebrew school.

Actually, the process is the reverse. The vast majority of Muslims are descended from converts in diverse cultures. Those ancestors were not savages, those pre-Islamic cultures were not amoral, and residues of those cultures have remained in Islamic societies. So, most Muslims have at least some background in traditional morality of a form that retains a notion of goodwill to fellow human beings.

Which is to say, the “headway” goes the other way. Proper training in Islam requires Muslims to lose those traditional scruples and embrace the hatred and oppression propounded in their scriptures.

Islam, taken seriously, brutalizes normal human beings. Muslims are its first victims.

“They are being exposed to very literalist interpretations of the Koran. These are interpretations that would not be recognised by 80 or 90 per cent of Muslims”

Absolute rubbish. The figure is much more likely the complement: 10 to 20% of Muslims might have had enough exposure to non-Muslim ideas and cultures, enough to recognize that the “literalist interpretations” are woefully unPeeCee.

This is no random “13th century scholar” here, presumably fiddlefaddling with “literalist interpretations” or whatnot. Al-Hilli (after Al-Tusi) is about as mainstream classical as it could ever get in Shia Islam. Sheesh.

What you should do is triple or even quadruple the number of Muslims you allow to immigrate. That way the naturally inquisitive, liberal, tolerant, peace-loving character of Islamic civilization will assert itself, against the atypical likes of Mohammed Saeed Bahmanpour.

Seriously,

Well he has one thing right!

Anybody who is as nauseated as I am by this Al Quds day on Sept. 13th could opt for something more positive. On that same day there are many ‘Open Door’ events taking place in the framework of ‘European Days of Jewish Culture and Heritage’, including history walks and ‘Open Door’ at some of London and Britain’s finest historic synagogues.

Have fun!

I found a bit on Hawza Ilmiya in google cache of an expired page “The courses at Hawza Ilmiyya are eight years’ in length. For the last three years of courses, students travel to Iran, where they attend colleges in the Iranian holy city of Qom.”
