No. It was about the fact that the slave trade is now open and public on social media.
If that was true then why bother bringing up the so called “war on women?”
quote:
And that is disgusting.
Agreed.
quote:
I would LOVE it if the feminists in first world countries would start fighting against it
How do you know that they haven’t been? I don’t understand why you and others (other than willful blindness) have such a difficult time grasping this simple concept: just because someone criticizes X, that doesn't mean they don’t have opinions on Y.
quote:
rather than continue the phony "war on women" crap.
There is nothing phony about the ongoing attempt to restrict the right of women to have access to abortions and birth control. There are several organizations that actively work to roll back the clock on Women’s rights (and gay rights as well). Just one example, Focus on the Family.
quote:
(An example of the crap it is: Disney cartoons are now bad and should be banned for being too "hetreonormative." They are a form of patriarchal oppression.)
Relax, nobody is going to ban Disney Cartoons. Disney does perpetuate a restricted way of thinking and I see nothing wrong with people pointing that out. It's called freedom of speech.
quote:
And really Marc, not having a couple of types of birth control covered is the same a the whipping of rape victims or the shooting of women that commit adultery or selling them as sex slaves?
NO FUCKING SHIT! (tell me something I don’t know, Sherlock)
quote:
Two women or two men not being able to get married in a state is the same as them being beheaded?
Obviously not. Nor at any point have I said so. So why do you and other keep pretending I do think such things despite my repeating – several times (Posts 8, 12, 20, 26, 29, 33, 41, 47) – that I do not?
quote:
Your moral equivalency is disgusting.
Ah. Here we go. The answer to my question. You want to give yourself an ego stroke off by pretending that you are morally superior. But I never engaged in morally equivalency here. You are the one who brought the two situations (Muslim enslavement of girls and Christian attacks upon women’s rights) into comparison.
quote:
So why is invoking Islam in order to enslave people just hunky-dory.
Again, when did I ever say anything like that? It is a conclusion that you and others have jumped to. It is a conclusion that I suspect you wanted to jump to, otherwise, why (I ask again) bring the two situations into comparison?
I repeat: you never started this thread with the intention of drawing attention to human rights violations perpetrated by Muslims. The last line in your OP makes it clear that your intention is to denigrate the fight against would be Christian oppression here in America by drawing a comparison between the two and then denigrating anyone who dares criticizes Christians behaving badly in the face of Muslim atrocities because the later is worse than the former.
But you fail because the comparison is arbitrary. Again I ask, if someone gets punched in the nose, should we ignore it because someone else is being murdered somewhere in the world? Please take a look at the following video: Christian Street Preachers Assaulted at Gay Pride Festival in Seattle
In this video we see a group of people – presumably liberals – give in to the mob mentality and assault a man who was only exercising his freedom of speech. He was hit several times but he was not enslaved or beheaded. Personally, I find this outrageous, bullies – and I don’t give a fuck what their political stripe is – piss me off! By your example however, I have to presume that it doesn’t bother you and you want this to be ignored. If you have any objections to how this individual was treated, then you will be engaging in moral equivalency – how disgusting.
Aside from the fact that both situations arise from human nature, the reality is that the one situation (mob attacks street preacher) has nothing to do with the other (Muslims behead people). To condemn the one is not to endorse the other. To pretend otherwise is dishonest.

If you read the link, you would have seen the discussion about how the Islam religion (Koran and Hadiths) allows, justifies, encourages, and demands slavery.
I didn't need to read the link because I had already learned that in a fabulous place called collage (among the things they teach you there – critical thinking, like how to avoid jumping to conclusions by NOT making baseless presumptions)
quote:
Because in Marc's world slavery does not restrict rights?
Oh for fuck’s sake!
quote:
Apparently not being allowed to drive a car because you are a woman does not either.
Or having to have a male chaperone.
Or not being allowed to laugh.
Those are perfectly sensible rules and not restrictions at all.
And the whirligig goes on . . .
