Default Re: Perfect example of why we need to actively fight Islamo-facism

How long ago was it that the idea that a black women didnt have to sit at the back of the bus could cause moral outrage in parts of the USA?

Not that long ago. Some parts of the world are slightly behind the curve of progress.

wow moral relativism ftw...

a lot of islamic society (not UAE for example, but saudi arabia) is basically in the dark ages. back of the bus != 100 lashes for being raped.

that being said, this isn't an example of why we need to fight islamo-facism. If you want to make that argument, talk about Iran, Syria and Sudan's macro-policies, not local events.

This example seems to only support the argument to stay the [censored] out of their countries. Like the charity workers who get their heads chopped off should learn.

You might want to rethink this post. Also, maybe rethink what you think moral relativism means?

he's forgiving an immoral action because of historical differences... moral relativism

from wiki-

[ QUOTE ]
In philosophy, moral relativism is the position that moral or ethical propositions do not reflect objective and/or universal moral truths, but instead make claims relative to social, cultural, historical or personal circumstances.

How'd you get "forgiving an immoral action" out of TOAFK's post?

Well in this case the women involved is being sent to prison for 15 days for naming her bear Mohamed. Which seems just as irrational to me as getting in a lather if a person of a certain race dosnt sit at the back of the bus.

Btw does 100 lashes for being raped = being killed by police officers and dumped in a swamp for encouraging people of a certain race to vote?

meh... The swamp thing is an isolated case. The lashings for rape is a policy from the highest level of government.

The profound ignorance of most advocates of war should not astonish. It's part and parcel of the way of thinking that leads one to advocate war as the solution for most problems.

FYI, dear sir, Syria is NOT a nation ruled by islamic law. FYI, Syria, exactly like Saddam Hussein's Iraq (ah, those were the days) has consistently and actively opposed muslim fundamentalism. The Ba'athist regime of Syria (as did the Ba'athist regime of Iraq - ah those were the days!) chased and kept in line its islamic fundamentalists.

Syria can be accused of many things but not "islamo-fascism".

Anyway, you're not supposed to know this -- and you don't. All is well in the world.
