Living with the Enemy on SBS

[ufo_investigations]

I just watched LIVING WITH THE ENEMY on SBS.  The story about Ben the Aussie going to live with Lidia and Ahmed the muslims. Lidia is an Aussie and was raised Catholic and converted to Islam. Ahmed was born in Saudi Arabia.

What did I learn?

- Muslim women wont shake hands with a male person their not related to. (Very rude).

- When husband and wife muslims pray in their own house, the wife has to pray behind her husband. (Women are not treated as equals even in their own house).

- Christians are not allowed to visit Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Why? Because you have to be muslim to be allowed.

- Mosques can be built all over Australia but we can't build a Church in Saudi Arabia.

- The Quran tells muslims to kill people.

- In the mosque women are behind the curtain at the back. It's their own area. Why? Because the men have to be in a different section. Why? To give women privacy. This is the reason they cited. The real reason I believe is not to cause desire in the men.

- When they went shopping they visited a halal butcher to buy lamb shoulder. Ben wasn't consulted. What if he wanted pork chops?

- They went to Bondi to do an "Aussie thing called surfing". Lidia went swimming in her full Islamic clothing then when she came out of the water she placed a towel around her depicting the Australian flag.

Vatican II said:

3. The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth,(5) who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God.

To Catholics the Host is the consecrated 'body of Christ..

To non-Catholics it is just flour and water in a round shape.

You are a very confused Catholic IMO, ufo.

To Muslims it is Halal meat.

To non-believers, it is just meat!!!!

 It is not false god to be worshipped.  It is just meat!

 Do you think you are the only one who knows about

 Catholic doctrine? It is because of the Catholic dogma

 that I no longer practise catholicism

The 1st Commandment says:

I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.

The 10 Commandments were handed down by God to Moses in stone. 

Devout Roman Catholics follow the 10 Commandments. If you want to go to Heaven and not Hell you need to obey our Lord.

I don't honor foods blessed by satan, or any other religious rituals from other religions.

Since when has it been Aussie custom to shake hands? It's an individual thing.  It's a relatively new concept for a male to shake hands with a woman.

I'm not really sure, but I think it is a very old custom, though in Oz, that custom can only be about 240 yrs old. 😉

I offered my hand to a Muslim woman, after I had shaken hands with her husband and her son, and she took my hand. I admit I did it as a display. I refused to accept the implied negation of the female presence in our meeting. I don't know how the people involved thought about it because I didn't ask.

No, it's not an old custom in Australia for women to shake hands.  It is only recent generations of women who might shake hands.

It is the same God.

Catholics don't have their own, personal, God.

The 1st Commandment says we have our own god and we are not to follow other gods.

Again on the weekend a man shook my hand. It is always generally men and generally always upon first meeting them.

Etiquette says, allow the woman to extend her hand first.
