Well, the fact that they immediately deflect and attack pretty much answers my question.Well, that's the question. Ask it, though, the primary response you'll get is ISLAMOPHOBE AAAUUUGHHHIt can be difficult to determine sincerity here, that's for sure. Much easier in real life, where you can read faces, too.I guess we're only supposed to care about the treatment of women and gays and apostates and non-believers and infidels and others if the issue being discussed is interesting enough to Americans.
If it isn't, we just don't care one way or the other. Fuck 'em.
If this were a major American sport, then hey, we'd care about those people. We really would.
Holy crap. Are we not supposed to notice how obvious and transparent this is?

Mac, I just can't jump up and down and scream this early in the morning. Any post that starts off with why aren't liberals blah, blah, blah is insane.
Had the author been serious then we would be discussing Qatar financing terrorism. No? Not the topic? Not a good enough topic to goad a response?
But the fact remains, the same behaviors are seen over and over on this issue. And frankly, I think it's a legitimate question.
Taking anything seriously here requires ignoring the noise and getting to the heart.

A legitimate question such as, how can you defend Muslims or Qatar and LGTBQ?
Wouldn't it be more forthright to ask how someone might be able rectify what appear to be two opposing views?

By some and it is absolutely guaranteed if asked as it was in the OP. May as well have just started a letter saying: Dear Joe, be a class A jerk on this thread.
I think it's a fair question and I think that you can get what you're after. Solidarity is a whole 'nother thing.
They're liars and hypocrites.
