Whatever you say pal! (LOL)

The fact that my half of my family if from the middle east, my wife is Hindu, and her family comes from southern india, and my son is darker than you could ever be after a month on the beach is a sure sign of race intolerance! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

We all have a member of the family we hate, but what can we do .. they're family! Your wife being hindu and you disliking middle eastern people aren't the same thing PAL ....

I'm not trying to lecture or taking a side, but not all the "muslims" do that. Probably regime in some countries like Afghanistan (who are muslims) does that, using the religion as a form of excuse to make people fear them. The fear makes people submissive and quiet - see North Korea, Syria, Libya, Egypt - back in time - all the countries in Eastern Europe, Cuba, China, Soviet Russia. Every government, leader who comes on the big stage uses different approach to run the masses. In this case the religion. In all the case not all the muslims are homosexual haters, crazed suicide bombers something that comes in list.
The same way we can say that all the US army hates children because one (or more) crazy US soldier did that. For the record I'm not muslim, but I believe that most of the people are good.

I agree.

My best friend growing up was muslim. His father was a dentist and his family escaped Iran and settled in our neighborhood, as did his extended family. They were the kindest and most friendly people I knew at that time.

What muslims are letting happen in their countries, in the name of their religion, is not right. My muslim ethics teacher in college was a victim of female genital mutilation as a child, that's when I first learned of such a practice that is legal in her country. Honor killings are legal. Televised public hanging homosexual men is legal. Disfiguring a woman who has dishonored the family or spouse is legal. Stoning a person to death is legal. Cutting off the limbs of thieves is legal.

The fact that these awful practices are legal, means that they are accepted by the majority. If that's not the case then muslims need to rise up and effect change that represents the true silent majority.

Organized religion fucks up every society, none is immune. :thumbsup

Never mind. You're absolutely right. You have found me out!

You're depth and breadth of knowledge as to me, my life, my psyche, my prejudices, my likes and dislikes and the inner reaches of my heart cannot be denied any longer!

You are obviously a person of deep insight, and I bow to your all seeing wisdom!!



.:)

You make out that this sort of thing is widespread in the middle east and that just isn't true. Stop making out that it takes wisdom or any form of insight to see into something as shallow as race intolerance.

My post dealt specifically and strictly with an issue occuring in Iran. I didn't mention anywhere else, or even any religious aspect, (unlike the original poster, and several other people in this thread, who made some OUTRAGEOUS claims about Islam, including the belief that all black dogs are "demons"). Please show me where I posted that it's "common in the middle east"?

My question is why aren't you addressing those comments from other posters? I'm curious.

I did but you've obviously missed that.

In what country is circumcision illegal? Last I checked it was legal in the US too.

In what country are honor killings or disfiguring women legal? They are illegal in every country. You're making things up and letting your ignorance fuel your hate.

What you're saying is the same as someone saying that it is legal in the US to electrocute someone to death and let people watch or hanging someone and letting people watch or injecting someone with poison while they are strapped down to a table and letting people watch. Sure they are legal but only at certain times.

Nobody in Iran has ever been hung just for being gay. Gay people get hung because they are gay and raped someone or did something like that but those human rights groups (or the 1 human rights group that you are quoting from Wikipedia) is a specifically anti-Iran human rights group and they leave out the part about the person raping or the other crimes they are actually hung for.

It's like that woman who cheated on her husband that was sentenced to death - all the sensationalism about some lady being put to death it was almost never mentioned what her real crime was - murder. That's what she was being sentenced to death for but saying that she was an adulterer and sentenced because of that paints such a better picture (or worse depending on which side you're looking at it from).

Fiddy Fag Hating Muslims!

You are stating that as fact when there is a lot of evidence that in many of the cases the charges of rape were false and made after the international community heard about the story.

It's illegal in many countries, including the United States.

The Iranian men were hung for being Gay, not rape.

I can see where this is going.

You don't know the answers.

You ask me a bunch of questions while making statements without proof yourself. I give you proof with links, then you'll reply arguing against facts, again with no links.

I'm not going to spend time backing what I say up with more links when you don't provide any yourself.
