Girl wonder: It would take a complete moron like yourself to equate human rights violations which have been consistantly going on to the threat of some dooms day thing which will indefinately happen in the future..LOL. can that qualify for human rights violations? the UN would disagree!!
OMG you people. Pat yourself on the back if you gave girl wonder thumbs up and congratulate yourself for being a complete idiot.

OK girl wonder. You have no idea what is going on outside the US. This is clear. I don't know where you think you can even respond to any Islam based questions since global affairs isn't exactly your strong point.
Keep to the Christian bashing, not sure if your good at it, just another heckler.

Have you read this book ?
What is your opinion, from the list below, provided by Spencer in his book?
The Truth About Muhammad
by Robert Spencer
Meet the real Muhammad:
Muhammad's bizarre reaction to his first "revelation": "I will go to the top of the mountain and throw myself down that I may kill myself"
The heretical Christian who convinced Muhammad he was a prophet – and may have taught him his erroneous views of Christianity
Islamic borrowings from Judaism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism – and Muhammad's enraged replies to charges that he borrowed material rather than received actual divine revelations
The "revelation" that allowed Muhammad to marry his beautiful daughter-in-law
The strange incident in Muhammad's life that makes it virtually impossible to prove rape in Islamic countries today
The real "Satanic Verses" incident (not the Salman Rushdie version): how Muhammad's attempt to win over his opponents ended with his saying he had been inspired not by God, but by Satan
How the Qur'an's teaching on warfare against unbelievers developed – with constant war to establish the hegemony of Islamic law as the last stage
The first year of the Muslim calendar: not when Muhammad was born or became a prophet, but when he became a warlord
How Muhammad used the graphic lure of Islamic Paradise to urge his warriors to fight furiously to extend his rule
"Kill every Jew who comes into your power": why Muhammad became so angry with both Jews and Christians – with disastrous consequences that are still playing out in the world today
The momentous command by Muhammad that led to good being identified with anything that benefited the Muslims, and evil with anything that harmed them --without reference to any larger moral standard
Muhammad's child bride – and the terrible consequences his marriage to a nine-year-old still has in the Islamic world
"This is the caravan of the Quraysh possessing wealth. It is likely that Allah may give it to you as booty": how Muhammad gave divine sanction to the Muslims' bloody raids
"War is deceit": the permission Muhammad gave his followers to lie in order to gain an advantage over their enemies
How Muhammad broke the principal treaty he entered into, again setting a pattern for Muslim states thereafter
Muhammad's commands to his followers to wage perpetual war against non-Muslims, including Jews and Christians
Muhammad on women's rights: women "are prisoners with you having no control of their persons"
"If justice is not to be found with me then where will you find it?" Why Muhammad still stands for Muslims as the supreme model for human behavior
"I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula, and will not leave any but Muslims" – and other statements by Muhammad that contemporary jihadists take very seriously
Islamic tolerance? The onerous tax burden and other discriminatory regulations mandated for non-Muslims under Islamic law
How Muhammad ordered the killing of apostates from Islam
The massacre of a Jewish tribe by Muhammad that was invoked by modern-day jihadists at the beginning of Israel's July 2006 operations against Hizballah in Lebanon
"Embrace Islam, and your lives and property will be safe": Muhammad's threatening letters to the rulers of the lands around Arabia
Muhammad's frequent avowals that the Muslims would overcome the empires bordering on Arabia and one day stand as masters of the world
"I have been made victorious with terror" – and other statements of Muhammad on his deathbed

It depends on the sect and degree of fundamentalism. Both religions are rooted in patriarchal cultures, no doubt. But in it's time, Islam gave women more rights. For example, inheritance was based on the maternal line and women could inherit property. Now, both religions are huge and quite diverse, so it is difficult to make sweeping generalizations about either.

Many of the fundamentalist denominations of Christianity are very oppressive toward women. So, I would put them in the same category of some cultural groups that just happen to be Muslims.

lol, Islam is NOT oppressive towards women, living in the USA I don't see that in Christianity either. Humans rights, look at the "western powers" and see how many innocent people have been killed in the name of "war on terror, self defence" etc. it is the countires that love to play god not the religions, peace to you

God does not send religion to oppress anybody! Rather religion respects the believers men and women and gives them honor, dignity and self-respect. Islam gives the highest place to the mother and women in general.
P.S. Look how the current civilization is treating women now! They treat them like trash, sex objects!

If you're so worried about human rights violations, I suggest you read up on the bill our nice, Christian president passed into law the other day.
"It allows the government to seize individuals on American soil and detain them indefinitely with no opportunity to challenge their detention in court. And the new law would permit an individual to be convicted on the basis of coerced testimony and even allow someone convicted under these rules to be put to death."

It's not happening in the future, honeychild. It's happening now. Kiss your rights goodbye, hun, because Bush took them from you.
PS, you do realize you sound like a raving loon when you attack me, right?
See, having someone as ignorant as you tell me I'm stupid is almost a complement.

There are many branches of Islam, just as there are many branches of Christianity. You can't lump the bad together with the good.
That's just pure bigotry which is no better than oppression.

Oh my God, It amazes me how stupid you people are. You say "Islam" either because you are blinded by the media and cant think/do research for yourself, OR you are just saying it because you ARE christian and your pastor told you to believe it. SAD SAD people.

Islam does more then any other. Christianity does not oppresses women they jusy tell them how to act and It does to men also.

Moral relativity?
No thanks.
Islam may be worse, but that doesn't make Christianity any less exist than it is.
It's sad that you feel the need to prop up your religion by comparing it to the worst examples instead of trying to compare it to what it SHOULD BE.
