Nope, because religion is not competing with civil authority in the same ways or on the same level as Islam is competing in the Islamic countries where religious people are using the Koran to reshape the laws and freedoms of peoples both at home and abroad.
Ask Jewish women who are members of some Orthodox sects.
The hate itself is generic in a context that is looking at emotion, yes...but the context I am speaking of is the one where Islamic teachers, believers, and prophets(?) are using Islam to compete with the civil authorities and are using Islam to wage a war against modernism and the world around them.
Sure some Christians in America (what about Europe and the rest of the modern world?) are attempting to use Christian teachings to compete with science, but we do not have a government that is checking in with the pastors and priests before doing anything so as not to have their heads chopped off or worse. We the people/government in America are not at war with Christian fundamentalists. We use words and the voting booth. That is civilized and helps us to transcend the kind of immature hate that is destroying Islamic countries.
You should travel more.
what percentage of women are in these sects and are they in them by choice? therein lies a difference with a distinction.
*meow*
I see it, but you are talking about something different. We in America do have cultural wars of a sort, but America is made up of a mix of cultures who do not all share or have a commonality as do the cultures that may make up most Islamic countries I know of. In the Islamic countries where the cultural differences and religions are so wide apart the new comers or outsiders are treated horrendously by the 'native' peoples.You just don't see it.
Why do you think birth control was illegal for so long?
And you are ignoring Islamic countries like Turkey and the former government of Iraq which banned the veil and improved the conditions for women immensely.
This is why we should support democracy worldwide and not turn a blind eye to theocracies gaining power. Including the Vatican.
Religion was also instituted to provide rules and regulations for humanity to live by.
She says right in the article that she is NOT a muslim.
The woman is a traitor to Islam and to her people.
No wonder her family doesn't speak to her any more.
The hate infecting Islam is the same hate infecting Christianity and Judaism and paganism and atheism.
why does the world seem so dark and dangerous to you? is it your recent embrace of Islamic fundamentalism or something like it?
What? Do you live under a rock???? Have you never met a modern Muslim? Have you never heard of Sufism?
Sorry, but that position has already been filled by you DevNellgrow up and add a better post or forever remain the town dope.
Me saying that God gave humanity rules and regulations to live by is somehow a dark and dangerous world veiw??
That's when it started to get perverted. Rules and regulations are government's business.
travel? why when I have you to lecture me on the world...for free no less?
Like I say, you need to travel more. Step out of your comfort zone. Start in Europe and check out their commonality and how they treat newcomers. Then try Asia. What you call commonality may not be what you think it is.I see it, but you are talking about something different. We in America do have cultural wars of a sort, but America is made up of a mix of cultures who do not all share or have a commonality as do the cultures that may make up most Islamic countries I know of. In the Islamic countries where the cultural differences and religions are so wide apart the new comers or outsiders are treated horrendously by the 'native' peoples.
Did I slip under your skin?I am NOT ignoring what Turkey and a few other Islamic countries are doing.
(Look at Iran under the Shah too.) Democracy is under violent attack in most of the Islamic world.
Of course it is condescending and ridiculous of you to lecture me or anyone on supporting democracy. Myself I have yet to say anything that would give you a reason to think you need to lecture me on supporting democracy.
Let's have more proof of that than your interview with an apostate Muslim in an Iaraeli newspaperThere is no equivalent group in America to the groups that are competing for power in the Islamic world. The Vatican? It is not supported by most Americans. Many Americans are hostile to it and it has little sway even over Catholic politicians. How many Islamic politicians speak against the religious leaders in their own countries and live to tell of it?
Sorry, but that position has already been filled by you DevNell
What number is that?
sorry, But That Position Has Already Been Filled By You Devnell
