Only if you hate reality. You might want to take another look at the posts by NCDane. It will require taking your head out of your ass first, so that could be a problem, I guess.
Oh, no need, he’ll post something equally valuable as soon as he refills his venom sacs.
As God is my witness, I formally, and unconditionally, condemn all religions that encourage witch burning.
I know I’m going to be the subject of all kinds of criticisms around here for taking that stand, but that’s the way I feel, and I don’t care what anyone thinks about me because of it!!
Bullshit, you’re just trying to curry favor with the pro-witch posters.
OK, after some soul-searching, I’m ready to revise my statement to remove the “probably.” I’ll surely be martyred for my impudence, but if magellan and I don’t take a stand against whipping underage rape victims to death, who will?
If you don’t whip them to death they’ll just seduce more middle-aged men to rape their buttery little holes! Won’t someone think of the middle-aged men?
No, really. I did a lot of soul searching and realized how wrong I was all those years when I supporting witch burning. Just don’t get after me about the gays. Burning is too good for them!
Secret?!? That’s the worst kind!
And across the foggy hills the sound of a plucked banjo string as Magellan pops an angry little boner.
Hey, John, you’re a hardware guy, right? Is there a way to get **Mag’s **posts to print on Charmin? Get some use out of them?
Yeah, I think I can make that work. But just out of curiosity, why do you want to squeeze his posts?
You see, this is wrong on several levels and betrays the sickness within Islam.
Adultery is a serious crime - in books written hundreds if not thousands of years ago, but yet it does not allow for the consideration of the human relationship whereby marriages fail, and ebb and flow, long ago we decided that although adultery is not pleasant, it is not a crime.
Next thing wrong, it really does not matter one iota what is written in books, if this is practised, and it is, then this is the de-facto position of Islam, and all it demonstrates is more of the sickness of Islam that needs to be cured - this sickness will not be cured by going ‘back to the book’ because the premise that adultery is a crime is wrong to start with, Islam is sick.
You will notice that the execution of individuals for adultery is not practised in more enlightened nations, you will also note that those same nations would regards lashes as primative uncivilised savagery, yet here is a poster stating that Islam is at least as just as Chrisitanity because although the latter used to advocate execution - and no longer does this in practice - Islam is all the better because the whip is so much more humane, so humane in fact that this beastly barberous atrocity is still carried on through the so-called judicial system that the sickness of Islam calls Shaira law.
Thing is, this isn’t even considered extremism , this is run of the mill plain old vanilla flavoured Islamic repression.
Why is Islam so frightened about the sexuality of humans? Why is it especially worried about the freedom of women? Islam is a backward religion, that produces a poisoned tree from which the evils of extremism are the natural fruit.
It also has to be said, that other religions are often just as dumb, but these days they are nothing like as brutal on such a regular and mundane level of interferance into the personal lives and freedoms that all civilised nations expect their citizens should have.
Female genital mutilation - it may not be in the good book, but again it shows the sickness of Islam, because there are many muslim advocates of this barbaric practice, which is solely about the ownership through marriage of one human being by another, and it is all centerd around Islam, the interpreted word, or practice, the effects and consequencies are real enough.
Advocating the death of apostates, primitive savagery and nothing more, this is saying that God is not big enough to look after his own, and man must intervene by murdering those who have the temerity to use their own minds and make their own decisions - Islam is sick.
Defending the sickness of Islam as practiced today by mentioning the burning of witches by another bunch of lunatics is no defence at all, how on earth can the behviour of other extremists be tortuously used to justify the excesses of another sick group of human abusers?
The final condemnation of Islam has to be the absolute intolerance of its advocates to those who dare to make any form of criticism, upon this is justified murder as a holy act, Islam as practised today is intolerant of the rights and values of others, its no good saying that Muslims in westrenised nations are not like that, the reality is, that we see behaviour such as ‘honour’ killing, howls of indignation when some so-called religious tenet is crossed, I can say what I think about Jesus or God, no-one is likely to put me in fear of my life, yet make any comparable coment about Islam and watch the fall out - this shows the sheer intolerant and childish attitude of a significant portion of the adherants of this tarchaic tribal set of values and has to be seriously re-evaluated before it can become part of the real world, one with humanity and compassion.
You often hear advocates of Islam mention the inherant humanity in their belief system, perhaps there is some, but its the compassion of the humane abattoir.
I waded in to hurl my scorn, but after reading through this train wreck I can’t make up my mind in which way to sling…
On one hand you have the insane lunatics that have corrupted Islam
On another, you have the predictable SDMB PC crowd who stand guard against all attacks on Islam and will to their best to deflect or minimize atrocities by using the same tired arguments over and over
And on the other, you have the predictable SDMB “I hate all things religion” crowd.
It’s a veritable trifecta of targets…
Whoopsie. Submitted by accident.
I hope you do not put me in any of those three groupings my dear fellow poster, I would love to see some rebuttal or defence of the points I have raised, not that there is any defence for slavery by marriage or murder by God’s followers, but its worth a try, just to see what crawls out.
Nope, we’re riding the same bus.
The continued acceptance of Islam’s treatment of women by the PC crowd is as distasteful as it is mystifying
Don’t know why you’re being so difficult and trying to hide behind sarcasm, but now that we’ve managed to get past the first question, perhaps you can move on to the others, which were the point of the entire post. Again, here they are:
Can you point to anyone in this thread who accepts the treatment of women that is commonly associate with Islamic cultures?
What is being objected to is that OPs constant harping about Islam as if there were people here who defend the backward practices like the one this thread is about.
I have to agree, though, that the constant comparison to Christianity by some gets tedious. Especially since these guys are often the ones who scream the loudest when anyone compares Republican stupidity to Democratic stupidity in threads targeted at the former.
I just wanted to say that you are making great points, casdave, and I for one appreciate you trying to discuss this in a reasonable manner, instead of the ignorant blatherings of the OP. I agree with pretty much everything you’ve posted, and it would be nice if we could have a reasonable discussion about this on here. I’m not sure it can be managed though; it always seems to begin with moronic assholes flinging poo, and then the more liberal Dopers compensate in the other direction, lest they seem to be siding with the fuckhead. Oh well, I just wanted to tell you- Good job.
You’re just being daft. Your post was simply asking the same stupid, fucking question three fucking times. There is no nuance to be had between the words preceding the ?s in your sentences.
