    This is why we should always protect the separation of church and state.

    The problem with ALL holy books is they leave a lot open to interpretation and people can pick and choose what they want to believe...but not only that, people can also, if they have the power, just rewrite the things and invent their own religion.

    I don't dislike Muslims and I don't wish they didn't exist. I just hope that they will similarly ignore all the intolerant elements of their ideology as most Christians have been doing.

    But that would require them accepting and realizing that these elements of their religion are wrong. And this is really difficult to talk about because when you talk about it, people conflate things and say "you hate Muslims" and it becomes an us vs. them. Plus, like with the Mafia, apostates are threatened with death. The ideology does not allow itself to be questioned.

    Nobody can give a modern reason why the middle east hates pork
    However they are not woke lunatics who would glue themselves to a timber wolves court during the playoffs because of chicken
    The woke lunatics are the new Taliban

    Yes, someone that glues themselves to a basketball court just like a group that stones women for being raped and kills gay people. Good comparison.

    Some countries treat women equally. We aren't one of them.

    It seems like you don't have much going on in your life outside of trolling a NBA team fan forum so you might as well go also and help the horrible situation.

    Very astute. I have several long drawn out thoughts in several threads that are incomplete due to the endless interruptions.

    The good news is that I am getting my daily steps in with no problems at all. And why am I working on Saturday????

    He can take the other bigots with him who hate gays and people who want a country that accepts all people, regardless of skin color. They would fit right in there.

    Women in Afghanistan
    WOULD NOT HAVE bought a ticket to an NBA Game to glue themselves to the floor to protest chickens

    they would have spent that $1000 seat on CHICKENS TO FEED THEIR CHILDREN FOR A YEAR

    July 29, 2022

    "The Taliban’s brutality toward women in Afghanistan is a 'suffocating crackdown' that goes beyond the widely condemned bans on work and school to include..."

    "... sex slavery, forced marriages, violence, torture, and disappearances, according to Amnesty International, which published a new report on the subject Wednesday. Women detained after protesting for their rights describe horrific treatment, including electrocution, beatings with cables, and being deprived of food, water, and medical care. Taliban 'whistleblowers' say the number of women detained for 'moral crimes' (being outside with a man who is not a relative) is growing.... Women protesters who were detained and beaten showed their injuries publicly. That prompted a change of tactics, according to women quoted in the Amnesty report, who said they were later beaten on areas of their bodies, such as breasts and the pubic area, that they could not show publicly. 'They did this to us so that we couldn’t show the world. A soldier who was walking next to me hit me in my breast, and he said, "I can kill you right now, and no one would say anything." This happened every time we went out: we were insulted—physically, verbally and emotionally,' the report quotes one woman as saying...."

    From "Afghan Women Are Worse Off Than Ever/A new Amnesty report lays out the Taliban playbook for erasing half the population: electrocutions, beatings, detentions, and disappearances" (Foreign Policy).

    Maybe the men should have fought harder when we left, they had a 3 to 1 advantage in size of their army, no one stepped up to lead and they let a relatively TINY force of under 50k take over.

    If you aren't going to fight for your own rights and country this is what happens.
