SOAS student | 12.02.2006 23:11 | Education
The Director of the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) Prof. Colin Bundy condemned as an Islamophobe
Colin Bundy, South African head of SOAS and deputy head of the University of London, was nominated for an Islamophobia Award by IHRC for his mistreatment of student Nasser Amin, at the same time as his hypocritical defence of the right of free speech for Dr Shirin Akiner an apologist for President Karimov, and Bundy's defence of free speech for the visits of Israeli Embassy officials to SOAS.

sharia and human rights

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharia
I do think some of the points may have a slight conflict with human rights as we undertsand them:
'According to most interpretations, authorization for the husband to physically beat disobedient wives is given in the Qur'an. First, admonishment is verbal, and secondly a period of refraining from intimate relations. Finally, if the husband deems the situation appropriate, he may hit her'
'In some (but not all) interpretations of an Islamic state, conversion by Muslims to other religions is forbidden and is termed apostasy. In Muslim theology, apostasy resembles the crime of treason, the betrayal of one's own country. Penalties may include ostracism or even execution if they live or have lived in an "Islamic State" and are deemed enemies of the state.'
Not forgetting that there is no separation of church and state in Islam.
As a result:
'In Egypt, public authorities went so far as to try to annul, without his consent, the marriage of Prof. Nasr Abu Zayd when he got in conflict with an orthodox Islamic cleric from the Al-Azhar University in Cairo. The cleric had condemned Abu Zayd's reading of the Qur'an as being against the orthodox interpretation and labelled him an apostate (seen as a non-believer and consequently not permitted to marry or stay married to a Muslim woman). '
But don't take my word for it - read it yourself!

Tony Blair - pathetic, weak and spineless leader who is unwilling to resort to firm action against the enemy within.
Ian Blair - anything but an islamophobe, he's always kissing Tony's arse and supporting his policies of social and cultural marxism.
Vladimir Putin - hero of Russia, defender against Chechen barbarism.
Besides, I don't know why you're all so eager to defend muslims. You people who be beheaded if they ever gt into power. Muslims deserve all the oppression they get and more.

Ever read the Bible?

But then you wake up. Anyone who's marched alongside Church groups on anti-war or anti-poverty actions knows that the reality of most Christian practice is nowt like that. Even more conservative Christians don't actually hold with child sacrifice.
So to assess Islam on the basis of selective quotes from the Koran (a la Nick Griffin) can of course lead you to all sorts of hair-raising conclusions. But consider, might it not give a truer picture to actually meet and talk with some actual Muslim people? Shocking, I know!

Skewed logic: logic implies an argument. I make no argument. Simply point to reality. But reality's difficult to some people.

Typical Lefties scoring political correctness points...

I take it then that you support a 52 year old 'marrying' a 9 year old girl, who he chose to be his 'wife' when she was only 6 years old? And you support the hundreds of millions of people who believe this is perfectly okay?
You also presumably support all the atrocities committed on a daily basis in Islamic countries, by muslims?
Enlighten us: what are the rights of children in Islam?
What are the rights of animals?
What are the rights of women?
What are the rights of gays?
What are the rights of 'infidels' (i.e. anybody intelligent enough not to be a muslim)?
How many times does the Koran speak about love? And in what terms?
What sort of man was the 'prophet' of Islam? How did he live his life?
Surely he couldn't have been a mass murderer, could he?
Surely he couldn't have been a mass RAPIST, could he?
Surely he couldn't have been a paedophile, right?
Leftie fools...
"Qur’an 5:33 “The punishment for those who wage war against Allah and His Prophet and make mischief in the land, is to murder them, crucify them, or cut off a hand and foot on opposite sides...their doom is dreadful. They will not escape the fire, suffering constantly.”
"Qur’an 9:5 “When the sacred forbidden months for fighting are past, fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, torture them, and lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”
"Qur’an 8:12 “Your Lord inspired the angels with the message: ‘I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes.”
Show me anywhere in the Bible that Jesus said anything remotely similar. (I'm an atheist by the way, but I know you lefties just love to hate Christians, while you just love Islam...)
Here's a subtle hint: try actually thinking things through before forming your politically correct 'opinions'...
Islam is fascism. Islam spreads by murder, violence, and the threats of the same.
Islam appeals to criminals, stupid people, and people who don't want to change into decent people. What do you have to do to become a muslim? Promise to turn the other cheek? Promise to care about other people more than you care about yourself? Promise to stop killing and hurting animals? Promise to stop hitting your children?
Hell no.
Which is why it appeals so much to all the savages that populate this planet.
How many Christian or Buddhist suicide bombers have there been in the past 100 years? How many people have Christians or Buddhists, or atheists, murdered, because they refused to join their cults?
Islam is a cult. Any bloody fool can see that. Read the Koran, you leftie idiots, for a taste of how evil the 'prophet' was.

And try to actually DISCUSS this, not resort to the pathetic use of the great leftie 'let out' clause: "You're a RACIST"...
Try actually explaining why the 'prophet's' atrocities were somehow okay...
"Sarah was a famous slave singer who aimed her barbed words against the Moslems. She was among those whom Mahomet ordered to be executed on the day of his victorious entry into Mecca. In the region of El Nagir, it was recounted that some women had rejoiced when the Prophet died and Abu Bakr, the first of the Caliphs, ordered their hands and feet to be cut off. Thus women who dared to give voice to their protest or opposition could be exposed to cruel punishment. Their hands might be cut off, or their teeth pulled out, or their tongues torn from their mouths. This last form of punishment was usually reserved for those who were singers. It was said of these women that they used to dye their hands with henna, brazenly display the seductions of their beauty, and beat time with their fingers on tambourines and drums in defiance of God, and in derision towards the rights of God and his Prophet. It was therefore necessary to cut off their hands and tear out their tongues."
The fact that millions of muslims throughout history have seen no reason to censor or hide these atrocities, committed by their 'perfect' prophet, says all you need to know about muslims.
There is no God - fools
