I was under the impression that Islamic law is Sharia law. Perhaps you can tell me the difference so I won't be confused between the two.
I don't know if there is one. My info tells me the UAE governs under "Islamic law", so I go with that. I don't morph to new forms I'm less familiar with. I have a rule -- I don't post on topics I don't know. Judging from some wags, not everybody keeps that rule.
Anyhow, regardless of the man's religion, he was arrested because he interfered with the lifeguards who were trying to do their job the same as you would be arrested on the beach if you did the same. Anyhow, regardless of how you think, there are loads of honor killings in the Muslim world, especially in Pakistan. It is a sad life for women in many Muslim countries.
Said Muslim countries also have sunlight, and air, and cars, and internets, and phones, and clothes and food. Doesn't make any of them "Islamic".
Roudy is pulling a classic cum hoc fallacy. That's why I keep showing him evidence that honor killing and FGM and all that patriarchal poppycock, are vestiges of ancient primitive cultural social constructs that were in place long before religions came into the human picture, and that -- just like slavery -- they've been documented around the world on every continent for literally thousands of years. They have nothing to do with "Islam", which in fact prohibits it, as does Christianism, Sikhism, Hinduism, every religion that happens to correlate. It's not done for religious reasons -- it's done for ancient social reasons. As a cultural practice it was already ancient when Mohammed and Jesus and Moses and Krishna were born.
If you like to see posters squirm, I can imagine how you are in real life.
I doubt that.
I watch him squirm because we both know he's full of shit, yet he won't admit it. Therefore he deserves the squirmage. I put to you the same question I put this time last night: what's the point of fomenting ignorance, when you know better?
Or to quote a famous adage,
"when the known facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"
Let's put it this way, Pogo. You can think everything is A-OK when it comes to women's lives in a lot of the Muslim world.
Oh can I now.
And where did I say anything resembling that?
However, if others think differently from you, is that such a no no to you.
Does not function. That's a strawman. Find me a quote for your basis or stop making shit up.
I will say that I am happy that I am not a woman in the Muslim world, and I would guess all the American women on this forum feel the same. One thing I will tell you is that the Iranian women sure are glad they escaped.
The Women of Islam - TIME
Whatever -- this is completely off the topic.
The way you are going about this thread, I think the other posters can see that you clearly think the women don't have it so bad. I have to disagree with you because in many Muslim countries their lives are terrible. However, this is only a forum, and you seem to take things too seriously as if this is some contest that you have to win.
He's just a mentally ill whack job that wIll lie, divert, and deny to prove his point.
To tell you the truth, I am tired of reading his stuff. He can believe what he wants to about Muslim women, and the rest of us can have our own opinion either way.
