	Why People Accept Islam
		As a result, every decade or two, a new wave of Westerners convert and during the same period, most of their children leave Islam.
		Many who accept Islam in the prisons end up in their destructive life-styles and back in prison like their non-Muslim counterparts.
		The other major problem facing convert Muslims, especially in the West, is that without a Muslim community to support their families, their children often leave Islam by the time they graduate from high school.

	Anti-Semitism
		How the radicals who control Islam are teaching their children to kill my children.
		Recently, moreover, the more relevant threats to Jews have come not from the medieval Christianity Gibson seems to favor, but from Nazism, communism, and radical Islam, against which believing Christians are staunch Jewish allies.
		These days when I look at my kids sleeping in their beds, looking so innocent, I worry that across the world innocent Jewish children are being de-humanized.

	Marriage
		Marriage is forbidden (haram) to a man, according to the Hanafi school, if he does not possess the means to maintain his wife and children or if he suffers from an illness, serious enough to affect his wife and progeny.
		Marriage in Islam has aspects of both 'ibadah (worship) of Allah and mu'amalah (transactions between human beings).
		These verses of the Noble Qur'an clearly show that in contrast to other religions like Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism etc. which consider celibacy or monasticism as a great virtue and a means of salvation, Islam considers marriage as one of the most virtuous and approved institutions.

	Women in Islam
		Man in Islam is fully responsible for the maintenance of his wife, his children, and in some cases of his needy relatives, especially the females.
		In the case of Islam such compassionate and dignified status was decreed, not because it reflects the environment of the seventh century, nor under the threat or pressure of women and their organizations, but rather because of its intrinsic truthfulness.
		In Islam there is absolutely no difference between men and women as far as their relationship to God is concerned, as both are promised the same reward for good conduct and the same punishment for evil conduct.

	Groupe de Recherche sur l'Islam en Suisse (GRIS)
		An element that is important and interesting to note is that of the 310,807 Muslims in Switzerland, only 36,481 have Swiss nationality, having been born Swiss nationals and/or converting to Islam (approximately one-half of the 36,481) or having gone through the process of naturalization to become Swiss citizens.
		These parents were concerned that Islam teachings were contrary to the religious education that they wanted to provide to their children.
		This decision had direct implications: from this point on, Islam was no longer only a masculine ephemeral social fact in Switzerland, but had become a reality with the presence of families.

	The Purpose of Fasting
		Islam instructs parents to separate their children in their beds by the age of ten in order to avoid sexual experiences which may result from childhood experimentation.
		Where homosexuality was considered an illness by the Association of Psychiatrists, it is now removed from the list and replaced by homophobia (the dislike of homosexuals and homosexuality).
		Arguments in favor of tolerance to homosexuals are based on the assumption that homosexual behavior is biologically based and not merely learned from society.

	Uganda
		Up to 1.5 million people in northern Uganda have been displaced because of the fighting and the fear that their children will be abducted.
		Between 8,000 and 10,000 children have been abducted by the LRA and form the army of “prophet” Joseph Kony, whose aim is to take over Uganda and run it according to his vision of Christianity.
		Uganda also signed a peace accord with the Congo in Sept. 2002, and finally withdrew its remaining troops from the country in May 2003.

	Beslan, Russia & Islam
		While the world pretends that Islam is a non-violent religion, modern and ancient history begs to differ, screaming: “It's the religion, stupid!” The macabre act of Islamic terror in Russia is both immoral and illegal.
		What could collectively be described as Russia’s Sept 11th occurred late Aug, 2004, when homicide bombers brought down two commercial airliners, then a suicide bombing targeting commuters in Moscow, followed a few days later by a bloody hostage incident at a school killing hundreds of women and children.
		Its not about intolerant and undemocratic Russians trying to prevent Chechens from practicing religion or be free, …but it is about intolerant and undemocratic Chechens trying to eliminate all religions but Islam, to conquer and govern the land and enslave infidels.

	Islam in Jordan
		Her enstranged brother, who MEC says converted to Islam as a teenager, was awarded custody over her children Rawan (15) and Fadi (14) in 2001, after agreeing to act as the children's financial guardian and initiating a legal battle.
		MEC said a priest will now start a court case for the widow to press an Islamic Court to declare the certificate of the alleged conversion to Islam of her late husband invalid as it was apparently not signed by him.
		Surprisingly, the court refused her, despite this being a common procedure," and her case is therefore stalled, MEC claimed.

	Why Are We in Uzbekistan? - It's time to end our association with Islam Karimov. By Fred Kaplan
		Meanwhile, Karimov's crackdown last week on anti-government demonstrators—in which his police fired into crowds and killed well over 100 unarmed people, several of them women and children—is the latest sign that this is a regime unworthy of American support or friendship.

		Karimov supplied the CIA and the Pentagon with an air base, which served as the staging area for the invasion of neighboring Afghanistan.

		Their relatives were on the whole pleased with their involvement in the youth mosque: the children didn't drink, didn't smoke- as a rule, most of them were good students, and drug addiction was not even an issue.
		Then they repeatedly took him into the woods, where he was forced to dig his own grave; his was beaten; in prison they put a plastic bag over his head, tied it with scotch tape around the neck, and filled with tobacco smoke, so that he would not bite through the plastic.
