• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Honor killing is explicitly contrary to Islam and Sharia law. It is as much a problem for Islamic culture as it would be here.
That’s my understanding as well. A majority of Muslim people are peaceful people, although many Muslim dominated countries aren’t known for their tolerance for the outsider.

That would be a better analogy if there were more than a tiny handful, but I get your point.

The question is, are Muslim immigrants coming here to impose that aspect their culture on us or to escape it?

Why must we assume the former?
A majority of Muslims are peaceful, but there are unfortunately a few radicals. The radicals are the one people need to be safe with.

No one is stating otherwise.
There's not much to say about the murders , besides saying they should all be punished. Just like if any religious or non religious person, that murders people.
