ummmm...I think you have too much time on your hands.

Consistency from your part would be appreciated, taking the side opposite to the crowd will make you live up to your screen name, unless you are for real. Why are you talking about my consistencies. I am always consistent in my views. How about you? why would you post a topic to say that you are pro-FGM, and then post another topic about EMPOWERING women. would you call that CONSISTENT? Hon, don't get fixated on the name...it's a screen name, get over it.

Originally posted by Tuujiyee: By DA... quote:I really despise the "women should cover up so as to NOT turn on men and therefore get raped by them"... WHY?.......why don't you explain why you despise that?..... Like it or not they are sick horny men out there. Because it is a weak argument. It takes part of the blame that's supposed to go to the HORNY CRIMINAL and places it on the women. By the way, those sick horny men will still exist even if you put ALL women under the niqaab. Sorry, it is a weak and SEXIST argument to make. Sorry!

Originally posted by Faarax Brown: The larger question is: Is there a chance(Even a 2% chance) that Dressing in a certain way contributes to rape? Please explain how it would contribute to rape? Ok, so she was wearing a mini-skirt. This turned a pervert on, and when he had the opportunity, he raped her. Now, does this same man take advantage of a modestly dressed woman if he had an opportunity to rape her? I think it lies on the potential of a man/woman to become a rapist if the opportunity presented itself, rather than wearing revealing clothes.

Originally posted by Baashi: To the folks who are still protesting after the fact and after Nur acknowledged his shortcomings in opining the way he opined on FGM issue, I say let it go plz. Well it could be let go, but it won't necessarily be forgotten. I personally don't trust people who preach on Islam, and then hold some ignorant views - like cutting up female genitalia. It AFFECTS how I perceive that person for that point on.

Here's what I think: Rape is a CRIME If you were a short skirt and a tank top and drunker than a frat boy and raped, a crime has been committed against you. Even if you are walking around naked (say at a nude beach), it is still HIS fault because HE decided to COMMIT the crime. The responsibility falls on the man, for basically controlling himself and observing the law. I think pointing the finger back at women who have the backbone to voice crimes committed against them is the reason why so many more rapes go unreported. So in essence, alot more RAPISTS are roaming this earth RAPING other women because they are not behind bars. As for the hijab factor, I wish they did studies on rape in the muslim world. The issue of rape is a TABOO and about the only ones reported are those committed by total strangers..what about those raped by their FAMILY? How does the Hijab argument work then? I really despise the "women should cover up so as to NOT turn on men and therefore get raped by them"... ----- Excuse the grammatical errors :-D long day!

Here in the US, rape and other violent crimes has been on the downswing lately. Not really. Half of all rapes go unreported according to other studies done. Also, I hardly doubt its decreasing, but I would believe it is decreasing because more women arent reporting it.

How about not saying hi. Simple enough concept!

oh lord!! This had me rofllamolol-ing in public..looking like a damn fool!

I find governments taking away someone's life disturbing! How many people have they killed so far, that would have been innocent if they had the right technology. The entire system is flawed. Honestly, God gives you life, and only God should take it away.

Oh you know, its because we are soooo desperate. We like soooo want to get married, and when we "lay our eyez on the prince", our hearts skip a beat and we fall madly, hopelessly and desperately in love *sigh*. lmao Please deflate that ego of yours, bro. Maybe, you seem to be saying hi to the wrong kind of girls..the ones that you say you don't want hollering at you.

Originally posted by Kashafa: please send a tongue-in-cheek apology together with a pound of your flesh to appease Dracula's Feminists. hmmmm, being opposed to FGM is so darn feminist. Didn't know that. Thanks for the look out, sis!

Marriage contracts are the best way to go. Since people nowadays don't know how to keep their word. It is permissible in Islam, so why the heck not?

Originally posted by xafsa: Ok everybody...where do you hope to be or where do you see yourself 15 years from now? Maybe older and fatter, with a few gray hairs and still paying off my student loans/morgage/car payments.

Ladies, Go to your local grocery store, purchase a tampon, and try it out. Maybe you'll lose your virginity/hymen or get pleasure out of it, who's to say! lmao... I wonder how many women had misconceptions about pads when it was first introduced?

I wonder how educated these overzealous shiekhs are? In any case, forget about them, why not just have al-qeida run the damn country. At least, there is a methond to their madness.

Why are Somalis judgemental? because they are human. Next topic, please?
