A Taliban official says women lose value if their faces are visible to men in public, and that the only way to wear the hijab, or the Islamic headscarf, is if the face is hidden

Every single one of these Taliban men was birthed by a woman, nursed by one, and mostly raised by one.

Women, if you raise your son's to be Muslim they will treat your daughter's like this. Tell them that there is no Allah, tell them that Abdul and Mohammad were wicked, tell them that the Imam is a shaman. Tell them the truth before it's too late.

No, not all Muslims treat their daughters like this. Too many do, yes, but not all. Look at Indonesia, for example, or many Western countries which have Muslim populations. It's partly religion, partly culture.

Yes it is possible to be a moral person and a god fearing one, it is just harder. To the extent that they are NOT following their religion they should be praised. The gotcha works the other way better.

Plus you can still teach your kids the truth.

Hi know good muslim people, so it's not just that.

That said, plenty of issues come down to religion in general, with a few exceptions here and there.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It is amazing to me how different the views are. One on side you got Westerner apologists whose knowledge of Islam is what they half remember from a video they saw on YouTube ten years ago on the other hand you have the Taliban. Both sides claim to know what real Islam is about. Well sorry not sorry I am going to believe the people who live with the Koran vs you.

You know good Muslims? I do as well. Does that make the tenents of Islam good? I don't think so. Does that make them true? Nope. All you can really say is that you know people who aren't following their own religion and as a result they are good people.

Correct, and the same for Christianity. The doctrines are really quite similar in their treatment of minorities. The only difference in that respect is that one doctrine says to just kill them, and the other says to exile and shun them (but stoning for some), or torment them mentally and emotionally until they abandon their beliefs and conform to the doctrine of the church.

The tenets of Islam are pretty good tho - pray a lot every day, give money to the poor, do a pilgrimage - it's the historic and contemporary leadership, culture, violence, and precedence that are bad

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Praying is talking to yourself because there is no god to hear it.

Praying isn't Meditating, it's Praying.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It has some medical benefits yes. As does a small walk around the block.

I would love a religion that mandates 5 daily walks

Are you dumb or just a bigot?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you poisoning the well or using a personal attack to avoid dealing with an idea?

Oh really? Because your comment was about me and not a single thing I said.

Guess the Koran doesn't teach logical fallacies, just how much a women's testimony is worth compared to a man's.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah you're still a bigot, lumping every Muslim into the same fucked up delusion you have.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Attack the argument and not the person. Do I need to put it in some Koran-like form?

And skydaddy said it unto the prophet blessed be he, thus sayeth Allah the most merciful. It is far better for a person to attack the ideas than the men who spoketh the idea. For the first leads to reasoned debate the latter is Haram and leads to logical fallacies.

There, that ought to do it. See? I am meeting you halfway. Do you need a copy of basic logic as well?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not your daddy or your teacher. And I wasn't born yesterday. You're a bigot and saying otherwise is gaslighting.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

If you are going to repeat yourself I can just code up a bot for you. Sorry your skydaddy didn't give you better arguments.
