skippy, your link appears somewhat biased to me.

Sanc'.
Can you document that? Prove this isnt true if you think the source is biased or questionable.
The first thing a person does on these boards when they dissagree with a statement is question the source, no matter what it is. But the bottom line is, you simply cannot know for sure no mater who it comes from. There is as much credibility to this article than any other thats posted on these boads. In the end, you need to believe what you need to believe. But the source is no less credible than any other. period.

Skippy:
I won't question your source, because even a bird passing overhead may provide us with information if we are so attuned! But I digress.
However, do you really think that the coc aine snorting, hard drinking, orgy loving, one they call ATTA.... was abuse by NAMBLA TYPES?
Oh btw...NAMBLA=National Assn of Man Boy Love! They are slime!

Why is the argument hoisted on us all that "this is no worse than....." , when a biased Right Wing source is used to further an inflammatory, ignorant misconception? The charge of "socialist" is leveled, as a knee jerk reaction, but is anyone using these "socialist" sites to corroborate anything?

Anyway, on topic, I am sure that there is an underbelly of pedefilia in the Islamic world. I doubt that plays a major part in the terrorism problem that has become linked with Islam.

Many African Muslims believe that female circumcision is required by Islam. In fact, no form of genital modification and mutilation is mentioned in the Qur'an, but only in disputed hadiths. Clerics supporting female circumcision rely on a single disputed hadith and another hadith which was discredited by the consensus of scholars as forged. In Saudi Arabia (Hijaz), where Islam originated, female circumcision has never been practiced by the locals before or after Muhammad. Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, never allowed the procedure to be performed on any of his daughters. Most scholars believe it is practiced more as a result of ignorance and misconceived religious fervor, than for reasons of true religious doctrine. Many Arab Muslims interpret different passages as being in opposition to female circumcision, and believe the practice to be un-Islamic. Amnesty International asserts that "FGM predates Islam and is not practised by the majority of Muslims, but has acquired a religious dimension."
A few others, like the Egyptian Mufti Sheikh Jad Al-Hâqq 'Ali Jad Al-Hâqq allegedly issued, in 1994, a fatwa stating: "Circumcision is mandatory for men and for women. If the people of any village decide to abandon it, the [village] imam must fight against them as if they had abandoned the call to prayer."

What a lot of people seem to not understand is that it is both sides (yes mine included). You know, I hardly ever agree with you, but I do recognize that you are a bright guy. I thought that you would understand that making this attack on the right wingers of this board comes off as a bit hypocritical.

The problem is the Arabic world it's self. They have not advanced in the moral sense the way the Western world has. Argue it all you want, defend Islam as you may...The ME is dominated by Islamic culture, and the ME is perhaps the most inhuman place on the planet. Women aren't treated as people, and other religions are not allowed the right to exist in many countries.
The bottom line is, untill they become more Western (or we more middle Eastern), there are going to be problems. The is no way around it.

It's simple. Because they have been programmed to through fear and lack of knowledge.
The intolerance in this country is becoming intolerable.

There are extremists in every religion, that is true. But how many of the main prophets of those religions, and how many religions profess that they must go to the world and conquer it, and if those who don't believe do not accept this religion, then you can kill them? Did the Christian prophet Jesus do this?

It's simple. Moral judgements must be made to have a civilized society.
