No shit but this particular bigotry is happening in name of and (according to them) in accordance of Islam, in an Islamic theocracy.
It’d be like claiming some antiabortion Christian sentiments had nothing to do with Christianity. Especially hard to claim such when those sentiments are mainstream or aren’t that far off.
I’ve seen some play defense for Iran but I think it comes solely from the fact that Iran is at odds with the US. Some are very black and white like that.
With Iran (and Afghanistan) being specifically an Islamic theocracy it can be a bit hard to separate the religion from this equation. Though why the other person decided to bring up Palestine, that’s more of mystery to me.
It’s a really weird situation they have with that
Since the 1979 Revolution, the legal code has been based on Islamic law. Despite allowing sex reassignment surgery, homosexuality in Iran remains a crime punishable by death.[2][3][4][14][15] In Iran, this framework is occasionally viewed as a means to “correct” individuals who may otherwise express same-sex desires, offering an option to conform to heteronormative standards
So being gay is punishable by death, but it’s fine if you go through gender reassignment surgery since that makes you a woman. With their attitude against gays you’d think they’d have similar attitude against sex change but I guess not.
I couldn’t finish it because it was both so over the top American (I’m not American so it feels different) but also because at times it was weirdly boring.
I think voting might’ve been the best option, but that’s a bit too late now
It was pretty funny seeing people putting so much faith into these kids
It’s interesting that this question seems to be some sort of gotcha that almost always a posted response is a snarky joke. Just makes me wonder how do those people define a woman.
For an international system, the EU has taken some measures to try and make the road markings and such easier for self-driving cars to recognize and whatnot.
At the request of the European Council, the European Commission has introduced that road markings and traffic signs shall be designed and maintained in such a way that they can be properly recognized both by human drivers and by autonomous vehicles.
This is the exact kind of attitude they meant
Illusion of peace when people aren’t killing teachers in the name of religion. Sure seems like an illusion to strive for.
Do you think they’re trying to achieve peace by beheading teachers for showing cartoons??
I’m devastated
intel energy
Lol
I’m not religious. Have at it.
There’s a difference between a religion having an extremism problem, such as Islam and a religion being inherently extremist.
There’s a saying about bad apples you might’ve heard. Especially true if there’s loads of those bad apples.
Bigoted and ignorant. As much as the extremists you hate. Your just not violent. Yet.
“You’re almost as bad as the fucked up murderous extremists, apart from being murderous.”
I guess calling them out is almost as bad lmao.
And what’s bad about attacking the sort of people who think it’s okay to commit violence in the name of their religion, especially fucking kill people over a cartoon?
I don’t care who they believe for if they are so upset about a cartoon that they’ll kill people and commit other violent acts. Fuck those people and anyone defending that shit.
Islamic extremism isn’t some one off instance. Even violence over cartoons and such isn’t a singular instance. So fuck off defending that shit.
I’m not sure what you think is the dogwhistle, it’s directly mocking the claim of Islam being a “religion of peace”
I wasn’t really commenting on why they are “at odds”, just that since they are, some go USA bad -> Iran good.
