Does it help to be accompanied by a young girl and have some [xxx] on your clothes and claim to be a prophet?

People we had better wake up.

Muslims are ruining Europe and now want to force their crap on us.

Deport the lady if she is not going to follow the rules.

All of a sudden we are allowing religion to get in the way of what we do.
There are exceptions to rules.

God only knows how many times I've been convicted by the exceptions.

She has not prevailed. She will have the opportunity to argue her case in a court of law, and the authorities will have the opportunity to argue their case, then a judge will decide. Sounds like American law operating exactly as it should, to me.

There should be no religious exemptions to our laws. Period.

i feel like you are totally missing the point. This is not about due process. It is a matter of standard procedure when one is arrested. This is about special exceptions to standard procedure when the exception has no validity. The OP is spot on.

Just look at him:



That's not the face of a man who was pimpin'; that's the face of a man who suffered 24 hours a day from nagging wives and had no whiskey.

Very interested to know which passage this is.

I suppose we could start a thread about the increasing Sikhization of American law....
What cockamamie activity can we come up that would not be protected by some religion or other?

Google is your best friend.

Ibid., Number 230,
Sulaiman bin Yasar narrated: “I asked Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about the clothes soiled with semen. She said: ‘I used to wash it off the garment of Allah’s Apostle (the blessing and peace of Allah be upon him) and he would go for the prayer with water spots (Semen drops) still visible.’
Sahih Muslim, Number 566.

Aisha said: In case you saw it (i.e. drop of semen), it would have served the purpose (of purifying the garment) if you had simply washed that spot; and in case you did not see it, it would have been enough to sprinkle water around it, for when I saw that on the garment of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), I simply scraped it off and he offered prayer, while putting that on.



Ibid., Number 232.
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: I used to wash the semen off the clothes of the Prophet (the blessing and peace of Allah be upon him) and even then I used to notice one or more spots on them.


I guess that is what you got for being his favorite wife, hah. You got to clean semen off or just let him worship with it.
