Having friends completely cleaned out out in divorce court, fathers not knowing their kids (alienation) and all the other horror stories, and being a participant of many a boys-night-out drunken conversations on this subject, I have mixed feelings about this statement.

I know a lot of lefties who feel that way as well. Indeed, our founding fathers were, by definition, liberal and they believed it so strongly, they published a document that could have gotten them hung for treason. Why you wish to not give them credit for this concept and only the GOP is kinda weird.

Where did you get that silly idea? I would go so far as to say that one of the biggest reasons Islamic nations are so backwards is the way they limited the education of girls, they way they prevent women from doing normal things like driving a car. I don't think you can develop a modern society when you are determined to prevent society from evolving.

I wouldn't say it was trolling, the thread is about the lack of rights women have in Muslim nations, there is no question that the Catholic Church has never been a supporter of equality for women in the Christian world.

Only they didn't say the Catholic church. That's why it's trolling. To somehow equate jihadist with any san person is trolling. I don't know much about the Catholic churc other than they continued a traditon all the way back to Mary Magdalene. That has nothing to do with what BB said.

Every time there is a thread relating to Islam and the extreme mistreatment of women, certain people reflexively deflect onto other gruops - usually Republicans and Christians.

They couldn't tell you why they do this. They will even deny doing it if you ask them why. They do it without thought, like a plant leaning towards the light.

So all the sudden Catholicism treats women as bad as Islam - which is demonstrably untrue. And not only that but we need to talk about Catholicism's (much lesser in the present) mistreatment and deflect away from Islam's (much greater in the present) mistreatment. Why? They couldn't tell you. There is literally no thought process behind it or logic to it all. Its just what they do and they claim to not realize they are even doing it.

So don't let it bug you, there is no credibility to it at all.

Ah, but I wasn't equating jihadists to any sane people, I was equating them with Members of the tea party, that are: Anti sexual freedom, anti abortion, anti contraceptives.

Which is the same as what as what the muslim brotherhood has declared.

Wasn't it your buddy boy BushJr that flew out all his Saudi friends after 9/11? I'd be willing to bet NeoCons have more ties with muslims (the evil ones) than any liberal you could name.

cater to their religion which is the source of their hatred of women

You talking about the book of leviticus? the old testament? the new testament? They are all pretty awful in regards to women. I have no clue why anyone caters to religion at all. It should all be banned.

and usually take their side over their own countrymen.

I call bull on this Boaz, just because we don't have blinding hatred for Muslims like you do doesn't mean they get a free pass. Also, plenty of America Muslims are our Countrymen. Your ignorant bigotry doesn't win you any points.

#24 | POSTED BY SULLY AT 2013-03-15 02:15 PM

I'll tell you why it's done Sully, to ease your mind and erase the giant mystery.

To broad brush an entire segment of society based on the action of a minority of people is ignorant.

People like Boaz label every muslim as inherently evil because they are muslim. He doesn't consider the vast majority of muslims that don't live in caves or run around repressing women or blowing themselves up.

He hold up this small percentage under a magnifying glass and suddenly it becomes all muslims.

All religions are fake cults started centuries ago and all are derogatory towards women.

So when it becomes "Muslims that are evil because the are anti abortion or anti sexual freedom or anti contraception" we remind you that there are plenty of Christians that have the same mind set.

and, by the grace of god, we have been lucky enough to keep them out of federal politics.

else we'd hear president Santorum echoing the message of the muslim brotherhood.

This is a load of crap. I'm not ill at ease about it in the first place and I certainly have a tighter grasp on reality than the apologists.

And to pretend that Islam and Christianity mistreat women to the same extent in modern times is ridiculous given the constant stream of evidence to the contrary. So don't give me this "Hurr, the deflections about about da truf!" ridiculousness. The deflections are full of false equivalances and willful ommisson of facts. If you can't even be honest about what you're saying, I can hardly trust your stated motivations.

Terrorists are people, religion has nothing to do with being a terrorist or not. Living a [...] life, seeing your parents or family or neighbors get murder, makes people terrorists.

Also, whos the terrorist? the guy running at you with a bomb strapped to his chest or the man responsible for the bomb falling out of a plane onto your house?

Terror is subjective and we Americans have been spreading it across to planet.

So save me the Bull about muslims being terrorists. people choose to be terrorists. religion doesn't make you one.

Omission of facts? False Equivalencies?

Do you know any Muslims living in America? I know several. They are no different than anyone else you meet in America. They live modern lives with both parents working and children in schools.

The abuse of women is based on ignorance.

And the Message of the Tea Party: Anti Abortion, Anti Contraceptives, Anti Sexual Freedom is the same today as the message of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Strain all you want Sully. Fundamental religious extremists are the same whether they are Christian Muslim or Jew.

Why is your first sentence Italicized, it's weird and off format.

Anyhow, since you piggy backed onto the conversation. Do you know any muslims? Do you know anything about life outside of your living room?

more muslims are likely to be like the ones I know than the ones portrayed by the media.

Just like most Christians aren't close minded members of the Tea Party.

But some are.

And some attend the Westboro Baptist Church.

I would say that's a pretty extreme statement depending on your definition of destruction.

However, I would proffer that "giving" rights to women destroy and pussify some males. We should probably develop a new category/designation/gender for those poor castrated specimens.
