10 Muslim countries have death on their statute books for homosexuals.
A lot of Westerners would support a death penalty for sodomites.
The holy book of the Christians and Jews commands it:
"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death."
- Leviticus 20:13

You can beat your wives.
So how does that differ to Western men?
Domestic violence becoming 'greatest social epidemic of our time'And here is a Western Jewish man taking his wife out for dinner:

Well over a million Australian women have experienced domestic violence which includes not just beatings but:
Quote:...use of weapons (including objects)...locking the victim out of the house, sleep and food deprivation, and
sexual abuse—any form of pressured/unwanted sex or sexual degradation, causing pain during sex, coercive sex without protection against pregnancy or sexually transmitted disease, making the victim perform sexual acts unwillingly and criticising or using degrading insults...
*since the age of 15, two percent of women (160 000) and one per cent of men (68 100) had experienced violence from a current partner
*since the age of 15, some 15 per cent of women (1 135 500) and five per cent of men (367 300) had experienced violence from a former partner

The fact is that wife-beating was perfectly legal in every Western country until fairly recently.
Quote:Prior to the mid-1800s, most legal systems accepted wife beating as a valid exercise of a husband's authority over his wife.

It is precious of you to go on about beating people when it is allowed in the West.
Beating children is legal in many Western country. Hypocritical?
Their Bible commands it:
Quote:Withhold not chastisement from a boy; if you beat him with a rod he will not die. Beat him with the rod...
- Proverbs 23:13-14
The Bible also permits rape, which is probably why Westerners are so soft on it and reward rapists with a short all expenses paid holiday with luxury for and TVs and computer games.
Quote:"If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver."
- Deuteronomy 22:28
Yes the West does not do much to protect women from rapists does it? Women are oppressed in the West by this tolerance of rape.

Rubbish. Islam does not prohibit a leader being democratically elected.

who are accepted in Islamic culture as possessions of the husband
No that is a Judeo-Christian concept.
Quote:"To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
Genesis 3:16
Islam teaches that women have rights that were only recently accepted in the Western such as the right to inherit, the right to own her own property, the right to choose her own husband, the right to divorce, the right to have access to children in the event of divorce, and the right to access courts.

Arranged marriages
Arranged marriages are not illegal in any country that I am aware of. I am not sure what the problem is with an arranged marriage. If you think about it the parents are doing a service to their children by saving them the bother of looking for a spouse. Perhaps you are confusing arranged marriage wit forced marriage. Forced marriages are not allowed in Islam.

Sympathy-and-understanding for anti-Western bombers.
Support for bombing civilians is actually a Western trait.
A Gallup poll in the US found that Muslim-Americans (21%) were far less likely than their fellow Jewish (52%) and Christian (58%) countrymen to think it is sometimes justifiable to target and kill civilians. 64% of Mormons and 43% in people with no religion/atheists/agnostics supported sometimes killing civilians.

Western girls are "just asking" to be raped for wearing 'immodest' clothing
So how does that fit in with Islam's zero tolerance of rape and severe punishments?
