ORIGINAL: BoscoX You refuse to allow Muslims to be defined, even by someone who lives among them every day Which is very typical of the leftist mindset - "We must remain ignorant, for facts and knowledge make us bigoted and judgmental" I mix with Muslims in my everyday life you twonk. You are a moron, even if you really do see Muslims at your work that doesn't change the truth of what I wrote You refuse to allow Greta to describe what she sees on a daily basis, you are determined to remain stupid It's what leftists do The best you can do is to insult me and completely misrepresent what I am saying. Your contribution to this entire thread is based on the following flawed reasoning. The Democrats in Maine have not enacted a state law to supplement the Federal law on FGM. They are therefore condoning FGM and complicit in it. This of course is what you would expect from lefties who love Muslims and support everything they do. The lefties loving Muslims so much is of course a huge problem because Muslims are all ordered to engage in a jihad against the West, and anybody who isn't against Muslims is supporting terrorism and all sorts of other things like stoning and corporal punishment. Anyone on these Boards therefore who argues to the contrary on any of these points is a a lefty, a Muslim lover and condones any crime carried out by Muslims. The following statements are therefore made for the avoidance of doubt. The Maine Democrats are not pro FGM, nor I imagine is any politician in Maine. Nobody posting on this thread (lefty or not) is pro FGM. There have been failures and successes prosecuting FGM as a crime across the world. The most significant factor is the secrecy around FGM, which means that there is frequently too little evidence for prosecutions, not the law itself. Sustained public information campaigns and very careful work with victims is required to overcome this. FGM is culturally specific and is concentrated in certain countries and regions. It not carried out by all Muslims everywhere in the world. Even where FGM is carried out it is not exclusively Muslim, being carried out by local Christians for example, and often the majority of Muslim families reject it as barbaric. In many regions which have Muslim majorities there is no FGM. Most FGM is carried out by Muslims but this is not the same as saying that most Muslims support FGM. The idea that all Muslims follow the same teachings is a myth. There are different, mutually exclusive, schools of thought, expressed in different Hadiths. All Muslims are not being required by their Imams or anyone else to carry out FGM, nor are all Muslims hell-bent on the destruction of the West or Western culture. Some Muslims may well believe their culture is superior but you too believe your culture is superior as well BoscoX. Nobody on these Boards supports everything that every Muslim does in the world. That would be ridiculous. They may object to you characterising every Muslim as a potential terrorist or supporter of FGM, but the so-called "lefty Muslim lovers" you so ridicule all tend to be against violence, disfigurement and the oppression of women. They may disagree with you about how to address these problems and tell you that condemning Muslims as a group will not help. That does not constitute condoning everything that every Muslim does, any more than they would support everything every Christian or Atheist does. I think the US is a great country but some fairly terrible things happen there. I do not condemn every American for every bad thing their citizens do. Opposing FGM and being anti-Muslim are not the same thing however hard you try to make it so. Greta is not an authority on Muslims. She is a Board user with an enormous prejudice against Muslims, who believes that they are infiltrating her life, stopping her eating pork and taking over her country, despite the fact that the Chinese are the majority ethnic group in Singapore and Islam comes a poor fourth in terms of religion after Buddhism, Christianity and no religion. Other Board users are better informed than Greta, are Muslims themselves or live in areas with a higher proportion of Muslims than Singapore. I mix with Muslims in my personal and professional life, as well as on the streets. Greta's perspective is therefore just one point of view, and a particularly prejudiced one. There is no basis for calling other people "morons" if they do not share her views. Your obsessive ideation about a global Muslim conspiracy, combined with your "if you're not for me you're against me ideology" leads to you seeing reds under every bed threatening your way of life, whatever the evidence to the contrary. I live in a country where FGM is illegal, where doctors and family members have been successfully prosecuted, and where Muslims have come forward to the Police to report FGM as a crime. It is not a left wing or right wing issue. Both sides of the political spectrum are against FGM, as are Muslim politicians. It is your obsession which tries to link "lefties" in Maine, and "lefties" on this site, with FGM because of your bizarre belief that they are in league with the global Muslim conspiracy. It's all in your head. Give yourself a break.
