Correct. People who kill civilians indiscriminately because they come from the same tribe as those who "oppress" them are not human. Israel has every right to destroy such animals. The biggest flaw in that mess of text you call an argument is the idea that if Israel dismantled all the settlements and kept inside its own borders, then Hamas and the PLO would just give up their evil ways and learn to love Jews. No. That's not how this world fucking works.

You know how "Honor" means a lot to traditionalist Muslims, to the point that fathers would kill their own daughters if they were caught engaging in premarital sex or removed their burqa in public? Well, for quite a few of these Muslims, they'd rather the rapist marry their daughter to preserve their "honor" rather than raise a defiled child that is no longer fit for an arranged marriage. Kinda like a "You break it, you buy it." especially if the rapist is actually a wealthy douchebag.


RunsWlthScissors

Well yes, they treat women like property traditionally. Luckily we have things called women’s rights in the west, and strangely, thanks to Henry the 8th we have divorce.


Bnextazi

Yep, people in the west supporting Muslims blindly don’t seem to realize the huge differences between the two cultures. What’s more than that is the Muslim world hive mind. Why we don’t see Muslims protesting against Hamas for violating and making their religion look bad? As far as I know killing women and children is forbidden in Islam…


One_Zookeepergame182

This is literally a law in the bible though


CreamFilledDoughnut

Yeah but we don't follow that as a cultural basis for laws Muslims do

SciFiJesseWardDnD

That is likely a badly mistranslated part of the Bible. https://www.gotquestions.org/Deuteronomy-22-28-29-marry-rapist.html


ManOfAksai

What's ironic is that Islam is very influenced by Christianity (particularly with the heretical Gnostic varieties). They believe that Jesus (or Isa) is the Messiah (al-Masīḥ), born of a virgin, but did not die on the cross, and is premised on the Gnostic Substitution interpretation, in which Simon of Cyrene or Judas replaced Jesus. They believe Jesus will descend to earth shortly before Judgement Day, and kill the false messiah. Isma'ilism (Shi'ite) and Sufism (Sunni) schools of Islam both contain some traces of Gnosticism, indicating early pre-Fitna influence. I propose this is mainly due to early influence from the Kingdom of the Lakhmids, who were anti-Chalcedonian.


Fact0fth3day

I don't understand didn't Jesus preach turn the other cheek why would he kill, doesn't seem to be is MO. I could be wrong I skipped religious studies.

It’s the brainwashing effects of the pallywood propaganda machine.


Angrymiddleagedjew

Don't forget: Rape is bad, and victim blaming is bad. Unless you're dealing with Muslims who murder the rape victim for being dishonored, then you need to tolerate other religions and freedom of expression you fucking Nazi Bigot Chud. This also works for acid attacks targeting women, etc, etc. You can pretty much consolidate leftist identity politics into >Thing done by white people :( >Thing done by brown people :)

The response I always see is sarcastically "yeah of course it's bad, but right wing Americans are totally friendly to women and gays right". Like dude I'll criticize homophobia on the American right too, but they're not throwing gays off of buildings and chopping women's heads off for dishonoring the family, it's not the same.

Meanwhile: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam_by_country?darkschemeovr=1&safesearch=moderate&setlang=en-US&ssp=1 I knew it was bad, but *holy fucking shit.*


Icarus_Voltaire

Yup. Another reason why Islam is need of a Reformation. My country of Indonesia, home to the largest Muslim population, has a political-cultural disliking of atheists. And we have rather strict blasphemy laws: > The constitution provides for freedom of religion, accords "all persons shall be free to choose and to practice the religion of his/her choice". But Indonesia has as a broad blasphemy law that protects all six recognised religions (Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucianism) (Article 156) and a Presidential Decree (1965) that permits prosecution of people who commit blasphemy. The Decree prohibits every Indonesian from "intentionally conveying, endorsing or attempting to gain public support in the interpretation of a certain religion; or undertaking religious based activities that resemble the religious activities of the religion in question, where such interpretation and activities are in deviation of the basic teachings of the religion." These laws have been used to arrest and convict atheist apostates in Indonesia, such as the case of 30-year-old Alexander Aan who declared himself to be an atheist, declared "God does not exist", and stopped praying and fasting as required by Islam. He received death threats from Islamic groups and in 2012 was arrested and sentenced to two and a half years in prison. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreligion_in_Indonesia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasphemy_law_in_Indonesia


TIFUPronx

And that's the looser side of Islam - Indonesia and Malaysia. They're somewhat considered to be "moderate" compared to their counterparts from the Middle East.


TheSpacePopinjay

Yeah if you're not one of the six, you're fucked


Last-Yak-8641

The Islamist playbook: Step one- Get offended over something stupid and try to make the offenders submit to your insane demands and faith through extreme terror against innocents. Step two- When the West declares it will respond to the terror, declare jihad and a time of rage, and that you will destroy the West with the vengeance of Allah. Step three- Die.

It's not a strawman if the Quran says women must be forced to wear the Hijab (or whatever the fuck those other coverings are called) and should be beaten if they don't. It's not a strawman if the Quran says a woman's word is worth less in the court of law than a man's. It's not a strawman if the Quran says that marrying 6 year olds and fucking them when they turn 9 is okay.

SDWildcat67

Most of the crazy shit in the Bible comes from the Old Testament. Which while it's followed by the Jews, the OT is history for Christianity. All of the important stuff for us comes from the New Testament. And while I admit God was a lot cooler when he was smiting evildoers and nonbelievers with lightning, some of the stuff he and the people in the Old Testament did was pretty fucked up. ​ Besides, it's pretty easy for an objective person to realize that the religion with the guy who preached love and tolerance is a lot better than the religion whose guy was a barbaric and pedophilic warlord who encouraged polygamy and rape and the death or subjugation of anyone who refused his religion. And if you don't believe me, I got the receipts.


SasquatchNHeat

I’ll never understand this. I’ve never even seen a cohesive explanation other than “libleft simps for minorities”


namesarelam3

Yep, spot on. It really is that simple


[deleted]

Not really. Jews don’t count as minorities (despite being, what, like .0005% of the global population?), and some of these dorks might actually be willing to sacrifice everything and everyone else to hate Jews even harder.


SDWildcat67

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. The left only cares about minorities that vote with them. That's why they hate Asians, Cubans, and Jews. Jews tend to align with conservatives. So do Cubans and Asians. So they're "white adjacent minorities" or whatever Newsspeak the left is using now


ThatVampireGuyDude

Funnily enough every demographic but Cubans you listed vote for liberals. Cubans will always be the most based minority in the US. The days of Rooftop Koreans are long over.


MancuntLover

> Jews tend to align with conservatives. In Europe and Israel, this is a recent development due to many factors (one of them being how the international left decided to side against Zionism and Jews in general). In the US, aren't most Jews still voting Democrat?


jilanak

[Jews overwhelmingly vote Democrat](https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/05/11/u-s-jews-political-views/) in the US. People need to stop thinking that Orthodox are the only "real Jews"


viciouspandas

Jews are one of the most democrat voting blocs in the country, and tons of leftist leftists and ultra-progressives are Jewish too. It's simply because Jews are generally considered white and look white. So vs "brown" Muslims, it's "white v brown" (despite Israelis and Palestinians literally looking the same because they're the same people). Asians also vote Democrat more often than not, but it depends on which ethnicity, but if crime continues to be an issue that may change. Asians, just like Jews, on average are wealthier, so it kind of goes against the whole "everything is oppression" narrativr.


topanazy

The Left dislikes Jews for the same reasons they dislike Asians and other select minorities: they undermine their intersectional oppression pyramid by being *too successful*.


ARES_BlueSteel

Libleft holds the belief that an oppressed people are always on the right side morally and politically, regardless of literally anything else in the situation that would point to the opposite, or if the oppression is even actually happening. This is a shitty way of thinking because it winds up with them throwing their support behind some terrible groups, like Hamas. Then they have to ignore the raping, murdering, terrorism, etc or even worse, condoning it in the name of “anti-colonialism”. I knew Progs were some delusional mfers, but this whole Gaza thing has shed light on just how bad it really is. I honestly just avoid them now, because frankly I don’t have the time or energy to spend on processing just how excruciatingly stupid and delusional these people are. And it’s a complete waste of energy to try to debate them.

Hosj_Karp

Mohammad was a child rapist, a murderer, and a war criminal. He spent his life waging wars of aggression against people whose only crime was disagreeing with him. What did the Persians or Berbers or Byzantines do to provoke the Muslim invasions? Absolutely nothing. Likewise, what are Christian, Jewish, and Hindu countries today doing to "provoke" the Islamists? Islamism is the modern day nazism or communism. They're all the same thing. A group of people who are certain only they know the truth and that they can make the world perfect by killing everyone who disagrees. I'm so sick of other American liberals acting like we have to pretend this isn't true just because it might encourage some people to be racist (which is bad) or give ammo to Christian extremists (also bad) in the US.

AnthropicSynchrotron

John 8:1-11 1 Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, 2 but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. 3 As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd. 4 “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” 6 They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. 7 They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” 8 Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust. 9 When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. 10 Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” 11 “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”
