Re: All things Middle East related
An example of equal rights and violence against women in Egypt from the political party that put Morsi in power:
In response to a proposed United Nations declaration to condemn violence against women, the Brotherhood issued a statement asserting that wives should not have the right to file legal complaints against their husbands for rape, that daughters should not have the same inheritance rights as sons, and that the husband must have "guardianship" over his wife, recommending the "husband's consent in matters like travel, work or use of contraception." Obviously this is not an minority but a strong political party whose candidate now leads one of the largest Islamic countries in the world. And to call someone a racist is a bit much

Re: All things Middle East related
"Racist" is such an awesomely demonized word it works well on many levels.

Re: All things Middle East related
well, right now the talbian's version of islam says it's cool to recruit 6-10 year olds and turn them into living bombs.
if you haven't seen the first episode of vice (hbo), please check it out. it's like, an actual investigative news show... not worthless/endless opinions or entertainment stories (like fox/cnn/msnbc/etc). |

Re: All things Middle East related
BHA, always be wary of 'decent' people in large groups who just follow along.
I will be sticking with 'moslem', it seems apropos. But on the topic of pronunciation and spelling: This |

That being said, i would be interested in your expanding on your first statement (bolded). Your point (in relation to this discussion) is not clear to me.

Look at Western Europe and how religion is ebbing away in the face of education. It won't be long before society treats people of faith like slow children. I appreciate the opportunity to discuss this topic, I know it's not popular with most people. So, thanks. |

Re: All things Middle East related
All I do is judge people on what they do. Not even what they say they'll do, although if they kill in the name of their <fill_in_the-blank> then I'm forewarned they may just do it again.
I am more aligned with Humanists and freethinkers than any Western Christian group. Unfortunately, the quickest way to encourage a huge religious revival would be the UN (another deplorably corrupt group) banning religion. As far as religion being toxic, Amen!* People love to tout Nazi's as Atheists yet they had Gott Mitt Uns on their belt buckles and knives. It just looks better on the scorecard. A Creator? Ok, you lost me. *Kidding |

Re: All things Middle East related
Ehh, I just stick with the Marxists, Maoist and Khmer Rouge - plenty to run up the tally. No need to add in the Nazis, they have their own little niche of crass pandering to popular religion while actually seeking anything but traditional Christianity [In Inside the Third Reich, Albert Speer intimated that Hitler felt that Islam was more aligned with Nazi philosophy than traditional western Christianity].

Re: All things Middle East related
BHA, from trying to equate this society with sharia law muslim countries that explicitly discriminate against women, to the UN taking away a basic right people do have whether they abuse it or not (freedom of religion). I agree with AlvinWalton, BHA your posts are insane!

Pretty sure we agree that most churches/mosques/temples/etc do good work, even though RR made a great point about "decent people" of all stripes. Last edited by HailGreen28; 04-10-2013 at 11:16 PM. |
