I once lived in a Muslim nation for two and a half years and have worked on projects in others for weeks at a time--mostly recently last December.
Perhaps if you read what I actually said then there would be no need to attack a strawman. I clearly destinguished that these were Islamist nations. Have you lived in Islamist nations like Iran or Yemen.

And you think Palestinians are an Islamist regime? You seem to be talking about Shiites.Perhaps if you read what I actually said then there would be no need to attack a strawman. I clearly destinguished that these were Islamist nations. Have you lived in Islamist nations like Iran or Yemen.
Iran: New compulsory veiling law intensifies oppression of women and girls
Iran: New compulsory veiling law intensifies oppression of women and girls
Update 17 December 2024:**On 14 December 2024, state media reported that the promulgation of the law has been temporarily paused.** Iranian authorities have adopted a new draconian law that further erases the human rights of women and girls, imposing the death penalty, flogging, prison terms and...
Enforced veiling at the threat of death is just one of many violations of women in these extremist nations. They don't hold democratic elections, they descriminate and murder their own people and impose the same extreme ideology on their own people.
Like the civil war in Yemen where civilians are targeted and children are forced to fight with guns to kill their own people. The Houthis are backed by Iran and it seems that the extremist nations have regimes backed by Iran.
It is these regimes and extremists I am talking about and not the Muslims as a whole.
They could just stay here. The Secretary of Defense is advocating for a program in which woman who are not in traditional Christian marriages should be subject to compulsory military service.
No but the regime in power is. Which only supports my point that these radical Islamists have also destroyed Gaza and the Palestinians. The sooner they are out the better for everyone. This should have been done years ago but thanks to PC we let them flourish.
Here we go again trying to make the west the same as these radicals. No the west is not the same despite our flaws. If you don't like what a party does you can vote them out.
Who is we and what were “we” supposed to do? Invade Gaza?
The civilized (Western) world?
Worked so well in Iraq and Afghanistan. Clearly we, not Israel obviously, need to continue such success elsewhere in the Islamic world.
And when France and Britain were carving up the former Ottoman territories into "countries" to suit themselves after WW I, the people who lived in them eventually got something that at least resembled independence. Except for the Palestinians, who got a Western-oriented secular state forcibly populated with European immigrants.
And the Eastern Greeks and Armenians were wiped out by post Ottoman Turkey ( a NATO ally).
Israel had nothing to do with all the past wars I mentioned except for geography and the obsessions of their enemies. The mutual tensions with them & Palestine should really be a local issue.
It will never be a local or even regional issue with the US subsidizing Israel and supporting them militarily.
Why aren't they? There's nothing wrong with Zionism, just like There's nothing wrong with mass migration of any people's of any kind anywhere else.
Before the so called "ethnic cleansing" there was anti-Jewish RACISM, from the start, by the so called "Palestinians" - you have to get to the root of the problem to truly understand
