What you are missing is that it may not be Islam itself, but the fact that there are many people wrapping themselves and their throwback views within Islam and telling their flock that it is Allah's will to do these things.
You need to realise that there are quite a few of these dangerous "numbnuts" around and that change can only come from Islamic leaders themselves....Otherwise, the "Infidels" will do it for them. That is not good for anybody.

Bashed.
For being factually incorrect :).

I have to agree with what med has said in comments, i'm afraid Romanov that you have not researched into Islam properly.
If you did you would know the punishments for rape, the stance on honor killings, and that female circumcision is nothing to do with Islam.

What people practice today, despite it be practiced by a vastly "muslim" society, doesn't therefore make it an Islamic teaching.
Female circumcision has in no way been accepted by Islamic teachings and is a brutal teaching which has gone on for generations in un-developed societies. It is not mentioned any where in the Quran and has never been condoned by any Islamic scholars.

On honor killing in Islam i just want to quote:
"Most Islamic religious authorities prohibit extra-legal punishments such as honor killings, since they consider the practice to be a cultural issue. As certain pre-Islamic cultures still have regional influence, those who practice honour killing use Islam to justify honour killing, but there is no support for the act in the religion itself. "

And again i agree with what Med said on the rape issue...and add that in every muslim community i have ever been in, Rape is not only frowned upon but is considered one of the most disgusting acts.
I find it disgusting that you link fathers raping their daughters to Islam..that is vile and bigoted.
Muslims are still human and Muslim fathers still love their daughters...they don't have a daughter and automatically think "yay another kid to rape!"... and sure there may be some muslims that will rape their daughters, but there are fathers that rape their daughters everywhere i'm afraid...disgusting as it is.
You linking it to Islam is unjustified, and absurd.

As far as you wanting my opinion as a woman in Islam...
I have to say that women are not treated in this day according to how they are meant to be as taught by the Quran.
A lot of people have drawn up the misconception that the Quran and Islam teaches that women are not only below men, but are classed as the "dirt" of society...and this is an incorrect conception. In fact, despite how women are treated today in so-called Muslim countries, most notably Saudi Arabia, as far as i've read women are give a high standard in Islam and are referred to as "precious" and "pearls" and women are to be respected as daughters, wives and mothers. In fact in islam a mother is classed as three times more important than a father. While i don't agree with how women are being treated in Muslim countries, i have to emphasise that this is not how Islam intended women to be treated.
Being born and raised a Muslim i was always taught that women are to be respected, and your mother is to be honoured. It is also taught in Islam that if a child's mother does not approve of him/her neither will Allah, as your mother is the most important figure in your life.
In my experience, i have never been looked down upon in any Islamic society for being a woman, and have only had as much respect as i can ask for...as SHOULD be expected in any islamic society..

The issues with womens rights in Islamic countries are political issues, an issue that will be hard to resolve since most of these countries are led by elitists.
As far as i'm concerned though, women have only recently...all across the world been given proper rights and are STILL to this day all over the world not treated equally to men...so this is not just an issue in Islam but an issue across the whole world.

"What i am saying is that the uneducated muslims follow the parts of the Koran they are taught. enough muslims are being taught enough of the "bad" parts of the koran that there is a sizable problem in western europe. i never said the whole koran was "bad". the bible has horrible parts to it as well but people have turned away from them in order to create a more modern, functioning society. If the muslims want to be part of this modern fuctioning society they can leave the shit behind. I am not saying they have to abandon their culture, but i am saying they must integrate. It is not all their fault that they aren't integrating into western society. The governments in Europe lean to the left and their is little incentive (financially) to integrate and learn the native language."

Again with that said...Islam consists of now around 1.8 billion people...whatever you have seen does not represent the entire islamic population and in fact only the minority...you should have a look at the huge fundamental Christian society in north America. I know you aren't bashing the entire Quran..whatever..but if you want to talk about religious fundamentalism and the effects its had...consider all religions and consider using facts.

"okay thats fine. fair points but when europe becomes predominantly muslim and enforces shariah law to an uneducated depleted socialist state, ill be glad to be across the pond "

*facepalm*

"Forgive them father for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:43)

Or say, in this case.

Yeah, Romanov....just sit back and watch the apologists spin and deny everything while the bodies pile up. Blame the uneducated muslims and social issues. Only works for so long..before people get fed up.
