Gene Simmons Politics....

I was surfing the web over the weekend looking for some information on something when I came across an interesting article about Gene Simmons pissing off a bunch of Muslims. Now before I put the article up here are a few things about Gene Simmons that you may not be aware of:

• Front man for Kiss, one of the most successful rock bands of all time, for over 30 years.
• Immigrated from Israel - he's Jewish.
• He has a degree in English.
• He was an English teacher.
• He is fluent in over five languages.
• He is also fairly opinionated and outspoken (maybe why I like him?).

Follow the LINK for the article.

It doesn't surprise me that all the Muslims were pissed off. They don't like anyone saying anything negative about their religious political system. I don't expect him to have much appreciation for Muslims considering they have been trying to wipe out Jews since their existence, but I ask you this, is what he said really false? Let's examine some of his statements.

"Extremism believes that it's okay to strap bombs on to your children and send them to paradise and whatever else and to behead people," he said yesterday.

I'd say this is true. Muslims have been doing this for years. They teach it to their children. Their culture encourages it. If you think otherwise you have been hiding your head in the sand of liberalism for far too long. This is well documented. It's documented from Muslims. They don't generally hide this as it's part of their culture.

He says that women are treated worse than dogs.

Muslim women had to walk behind their men and were not allowed to be educated or own houses, he said.

Some lady called into the show to rebuke him. Ms Carland said she had two degrees, was doing her honours and "certainly do not walk behind my husband".

This is an exception to the rule, not the norm. In fact, by most standards this person would be considered a radical Muslim!!! Can we call her a leftist Muslim? This lady probably lives in Australia where the broadcast was heard. A modern country. USA is also a modern country as well as several in Europe. But in the middle east you better believe that Gene Simmons is spot-on. They still have to wear burkas, walk behind their husbands, are not allowed to own property, or be educated.

Even modern countries such as Australia, and the United States are having difficulty with Muslims trying to practice their laws and beliefs....such as raping women because they weren't wearing a burka. She was asking for it, don't you know? This is acceptable by Muslim standards. How do YOU feel about it?

"They want to come and live right where you live and they think that you're evil."

Absolutely true..... you are either Muslim, or you are not Muslim and therefore an enemy or slave.

Towards the end of the article you can see that various people are trying to apologize or make excuses for what he said. The problem is not what he said. It's that it's happening and he decided to speak the truth about it. Fortunately for him, because of his position of being a celebrity and being extremely rich, he can't get fired for it. In his case, the left can't silence his freedom of speech.
