Your family, and so it seems your religion, forbids your marriage to the guy you love.

This is not a unique story. You hear about it all the time and everywhere.

The decision may be hard but it is straightforward. You have to make a choice between your family (perhaps your religion also) and the man you love. The lady above made a decision and so did the lady under discussion. It is time you made yours.

I think that is a brilliant observation. Alas, it also applies the other way round: Westerns tend to think that islam is a mirror-image of their modern-day, weak, castrated version of Christianity. So they think that all “religious fundamentalists” are the same, thus putting say the Amish on the same level as the Muslim Brotherhood.

A picture of mutual ignorance…

In practice, Muslim terrorists can easily contrive any number of excuses that their acts are defending Islam. The Muslim men stopped on the freeway here not long ago with a car full of pipe bombs claimed that blowing up oil storage tanks would be in the defense of Islam because that oil was being stolen from Muslim countries. Muslims attack McDonald’s burger joints because they claim they are defending against a Western attack on Muslim culture. Bin Laden and his Saudis claim that the Sep 11 attacks were justified by the presence of infidel troops in Arabia, even though those US troops saved Saudi Arabia from invasion.

Capt. Arab’s distinction is no distinction at all, merely a pretense. Muslims attack their neighbors and patrons everywhere they go in the world and they always concoct excuses that their attacks are legitimate defenses of Islam. That’s why Islam has come to be seen as a liar’s religion in the Western world.

“Jihad comes under 3 situations; defending ones country, protecting ones livelihood and protecting one’s family”.

This clearly contradicts what you say.

I shall hold my breadth!

Thank you for your stirring defense, which has brought tears of gratitude to my eyes.

39Sig: “There is a strong militant aspect of islam. But what is more disturbing is the quiet acquiescence of the majority. While I can explain the lunatic behaviour of a few men, crazed with longing for relevance, I cannot excuse the silence of the “moderate” muslims who don’t speak out against them. Those few that do, speak softly.”

That’s not acquiescense. It’s acceptance. How can any Muslim speak against jihad which is quite clearly endorsed by the Koran and sanctified by the example of Mohammed? You can only reject jihad by rejecting much of Islam, tearing pages of violent suras out of the Koran and denying Mohammed as a perfect moral examplar. There’s the rub. Muslims can only reject jihad through heresy.
