Not sure if you noticed the date of what I was talking about ('79). I was trying to make the point that these prejudices were around fairly recently but I was not talking about today. Things have come a long way for many people, Dumpy and Durry being exceptions to the rule. And my heritage is, to my embarrassment, British, first generation Canadian born.
Moroccan girl commits suicide after being forced to marry her rapist
- Thread starter Locutus
- Start date
Yes, of course the Koran is irrelevant to Islam.
Have you ever seen it at work? Wouldn't be my first choice. I think it is reasonable to speculate that it may not have been suicide. Only somebody that is incredibly "stupid" would disregard that possibility without further investigation.
#11 - Don't wear ****ty clothes
According to more detailed accounts, the mother was the primary force behind this girl marrying her rapist.

Fed up with parents yet? They are merely following the example of their parents.
I like this every thime there is a problem with the Arab world people say they are following the
dictates of the Prophet and that is simply not true. It was also covered in the news story that
the measure is covered by Local Rural Custom that is a long way from being part of Islam.
Now put things into some serious context here.
Yes the prophet did engage in violent rhetoric and there is some pretty savage practices that
existed and in some cases exist even today.
Go back a thousand years or even three or four hundred years and look at us so called Christians
for a moment. Remember the Spanish Inquisition? What about the Witch Hunts that ran rampant
over the land. Oh I know it happened centuries ago and you are right to say that.
Today the version of Christian persecution is different they engage in shunning, or manipulating
community situations such as elections and so on. Another avenue is child abuse by clergy and
the faithful themselves. We are improving that is true but the abuse of people who they all now
marginalize still has the same result. Ask someone who is gay how they are treated by the
born again community.
We must understand the Islamic World has isolated itself for centuries and now they are being
confronted with modern technology and a smaller more mobile world. It will take several more decades
until the reach the level the west has. We in the industrialized world were once little more than
savages fearing the Lord and fearing to even ask the questions that broke the choke hold the churches
exerted on the people.

Me too. Either he didn't read or understand what Karrie posted, likely because of his admitted stupidity. Or he's an ignorant misogynist.
Lose lose situation for him.
To the former, we're talking about the local rural traditions, in some Muslim communities. That are not supported by the Quran.
In either case, he got...
Yet again.
Or he has intense hatred and mistrust of all men. Which would make him self-loathing I suppose, something I honestly didn't peg him for.
Well that's just same old, same old. Take a statement about A and try to make it about B.
I wouldn't put it by him. Given his warm jello like adherence to any set principle. But by his own admission, his wife has claimed he treated her badly.
Oh he only does that because he can't formulate a reasoned rebuttal 99.99% of the time. Even then, that .01%, is usually on some lame topic, that really doesn't pose a risk to his id.
I guess whatever works in the opposition de jour eh?
Ah yes. ID, Ego, Superego. His rationality and certainly his attitudes towards women are indeed reminiscent of Freud.
LOL, that is exactly what I told her you'd claim.
Your questions in the **** Walk thread, says something quite different though.
You're predictable, when you have to pull your foot out of your mouth.

With so many different interpretations among followers of religions, I tend to dismiss the idea that there is such a thing as a true believer. I think there's believers in archaic and repressive and unreformed and modernized religion--which I agree tends to attract a certain mindset and reenforce assholish values--and those who embrace the more humane, positive values and religious interpretations.
Come now, you are embarrassing yourself again. You really shouldn't do this in public. PM me and we can run through the whole sarcasm thing again.
Yes, you clearly don't. Perhaps you can join me and CB in his private lesson.
Awww, poor Jimmy gets PWND, and runs off crying about not being understood.
You really should do something about that admitted stupidity. You've already taken the first step, admission. Now you have to take the second step.
Crying? Clearly you take this far to seriously. Maybe somebody has struck a nerve.
Yes, crying. You seem very upset.
Not at all. You would be the one has shown time and time again, how seriously you take all this. From your absolute fear of admitting error, to thinking I should care what someone thinks about my calling them stupid.
You have removed any doubt about how much importance you place on forums.
I blame your admitted stupidity, and lack of any sort of life.
I'm sorry I hurt your feelings Jimmy, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings... Here fill this out and file it with the appropriate authorities...

Gosh, you bolded AND underlined it, so it must be true.
Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach.
