An Articulate Muslim

Please watch the following video by Dr. Zakir Naik. Note his comments on U.S. rape statistics and what he provides as the solution.

Are you aware of how many muslim men take housemaids from china, taiwan, korea, vietnam, and the phillipines and rape them over and over? That statistic isn't reported by muslims.

I would absolutely not be surprised by the numbers. I have also heard stories of our own military doing the same thing to their women in Iraq, but it isn't reported here in the U.S.

However, I seriously doubt that the numbers would be equal due to the differences in cultural upbringings. But, I don't have the statistical data in front of me, so I cannot make that assumption either way.
My point was that the Muslims goal is to convert our country to Islam.
I found this article:

I hope the link works.
They've talked about it and it's not going to go away. They want to do it by any means necessary. If they can't do it with planes and suicide bombers, they will try to do it on the intellectual platforms. Notice how he said he would confront an atheist by congratulating him on his decision to not follow his parents then slowly, bit by bit, he's injecting the Koran into everything. Then all you hear from the audience are "oohs" "aahs" and applause. Comments have been disabled for that youtube video. You can't comment on it freely. Why can't you comment freely? Why don't they want criticism? What are they afraid of? What would happen, if say, it was his own son that departed from the Islamic teachings? Would he congratulate him then? I seriously doubt it. But then again, I do not know for sure. It's just a hunch that I have.

I'm laying all this out to be as open and I'm trying to be as secular as I can be okay? To make this fair.

It's not right for any person of any religion, including Christianity, Judaism, Muslim, etc. to try and inject all of these psychological tricks and ploys into their arguments because it introduces the perpetuation (sp)
of self onto the audience, instead of presenting the viewpoints and letting them decide for themselves, objectively without any criticism or judgment.

Christian preachers such as Jerry Falwell, Benny Hinn, Oral Roberts, etc. use guilt tactics in their preaching. If it isn't something to make you feel guilty to make you "conform" to their group, then it's something else to make you give money to their organization, thus you become subjects in a dangerous cult. You lose your critical thinking skills. You lose your identity. You lose just about everything. Just ask any person who's exited from the Jehovah's Witnesses.

It's a very scary world we live in. Fringe groups twist holy books to advance their ideologies.

We are warned about this in Revelation, but as I said, I'm going to remain secular in my response. :)

Swords, in all humbleness I don't think I've written a better letter by a xian in years. I mean that. 2 points about me. I make youtube videos against muslims and think we should never stop critiquing religion or any subject. Also, I studied with the JW's and went door to door several times. Ask me anything about the JW's. One more religion I looked into.

Thanks TX. I read this book years ago called "Churches that Abuse" by Ronald M. Enroth and it's a pretty good critique of a lot of the fringe cults out there. Case in
point: Set Free Ministries and Pastor Phil Aguilar. He runs a biker cult in CA and what this book lays out, is a complete control freak and twists the Scriptures to get that power over his leaders that he wants and destroys their lives. The TBN Network has totally endorsed him in the past. I don't know about now so I can't speak for current practices. TBN endorses a lot of false teachers and unfortunately, many misguided Christians fall for it.
I have a good friend who got sucked into a cult over the last 2 years and has sold everything she had, denounced everything and everyone around her, and last I heard she was moving to India. Just like that. Funny thing, last I heard she got to Chicago or something and just couldn't get on the plane. I don't know what made her turn back. I had suggested she take the US Consulate phone numbers etc. with her and keep it in her sock or something just in case she found herself in a situation and couldn't get back home. This woman is 20 years old. Not even wet behind the ears.
She laid out all she was going to do once she got to India, and among her many daily hours of meditation, sleep deprivation was one of them. Amazingly, it was mostly young American women that were caught up in this charismatic man's teachings. Lost American women that were probably on their way to being baby factories, if I may be so bold to say. Or worse. She caught some kind of parasite the last time she was there for drinking the river water, the same river water that they use the bathroom in and bathe in. How can this be healthy for people???
Sorry if I've gotten off topic here, but you made a good point about the JW's and that got me to thinking.
I've got another JW friend who is married and now I never hear from her anymore. I don't know if she's just in a situation with her spouse, but I've heard that sometimes JW wives will go through abusive situations and there's nothing they can do about it. Their husbands just get a pass and they have to pretty much suffer in silence. Is this true based on your experiences?

Well I checked that youtube video again and it looks like maybe they've opened it up for comments? At least it appears that way at the time I'm looking at it right now. That could change in 10 minutes though if they don't like the responses I guess.

I'd say that abuse is very rare. Pretty similar to any couple, it happens on rare occassions but that has to do with him and not the JW thing.
