[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 72432253, member: 123415"] You and I often agree on a lot of things, but I can't agree with this statement. Because Trump sucks and is a womanizer, people aren't allowed to point out factual flaws with specific religious groups and problematic practices that are more prevalent within them than they are within other religions? By that standard, I can't condemn the tossing of gays off of rooftops in Muslim countries or comment on how there's a real problem with gay acceptance in the Muslim communities, because here in the US, we have the Westboro Church. Leftist and many of my fellow secularists often seem to have this need to present things with even-handedness where they won't discuss issues in one religion without trying to counterbalance that with a criticism of something else from another religion. Anyone who debates with me here knows that I don't go easy on the US Christian fundamentalists and am very critical of them...but at the same time, I'm not going to pretend that the issues in the Muslim world aren't much much worse in present times. ...because they are. Almost without exception, any issues being caused by right wing theocratic types in the US are happening to a much larger degree in Islamic countries. Do modern day far-right GOP types treat women and gays like garbage by what I would consider civilized western standards? Yes... However, I'm sure the gay guy in this picture (if he were still alive) could attest to the fact that things are worse on that particular front for Muslim countries than they are here: [ATTACH=full]223055[/ATTACH] ...as could this woman who is about to be executed for marrying someone her father didn't approve of: [ATTACH=full]223056[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
