I agree with you that there are horrible things done in Islam - I just find it hypocritical when people approach that as though their philosophy or religion doesn't. Not that you were implying that, but many people do. | |||

Hey, Toony. I'm trying to learn how to make fallacious arguments like you do. So, would it be OK if I went ahead and posted some pictures of American women with knife wounds to the face? Women with cigarette burns? Eye sockets depressed inward? Women who were punched in the face for literally 17 years straight whose cheeks, eyes, and nose are all crushed?
You know, I'm talking about the 24 women murdered every week in the United States in incidents of domestic abuse by their misogynistic boyfriends and husbands. You know, those ones? You're right. The six stonings in Iran that took place between 2006 and 2008, as well as the seven women currently in Iranian jail under stoning sentences is a clear example of the savage oppression of women. Unfortunately, oppression of women is worldwide phenomenon, and two years' worth of stonings in Iran is just two days worth of female oppression here in the U.S., measured in homicides alone. Unfortunately, there will always be chauvinists like yourself who will choose to be selective about which women they want to show solidarity with and which ones they choose to ignore, in order to back up your biased and ignorant view of Islam and the Middle East. So yes, Toony, you ARE the quintessential example of a colonial feminist as I described it: A person who couldn't care less about feminism at home, but suddenly champions feminist values when the topic comes up to the rest of the world. Thanks for proving my point. | ||
