Muslims groom and rape over 1400 underage girls in Rotherham, England

When the Catholic church sexual abuse scandals came to light the Catholic church and Catholics generally took it on the freaking chin.

Leftists weren't silent. Leftists weren't helping cover it up. Leftists weren't calling it "anti-Catholic bigotry" and the Catholic church has been the subject of ridicule and scorn ever sense. Can't have a discussion about Catholicism anywhere without that being used as a cudgel against the religion. No level of nasty comment directed towards the Catholic church or religion was too vile.

White Christian scandal = full out scorched earth campaign, all out mockery, huge amounts of scorn, shaming and mean spirited comments directed at the church and Catholics.

Brown Muslim scandal = robust coverup and defense.

Classic.

 

Hmm, what year did the Catholic Priest scandals come to light for you?

First big US case in 1983, and it's still happening.

This writer claims to have found accounts in 1629.

There's a lot to be angry about. Just be careful with the gasoline.

 

Sure, plenty to be upset about and the Catholics take all types of ****.

Why not the Muslims?

 

I'm not sure what you mean? Is there a Catholic hate rally webinar I'm missing?

I'm disgusted and disturbed by what's happening in Europe, and the Hamas/Hezbollah "gatherings" in the West during terror events aren't helping me enjoy the D&D if that's what you're looking for.

 

Yes anytime any article/video/news story involves the Catholic church/Pope or Catholic religion its just absolutely brigaded with the most vile comments people can imagine. I imagine you would even find it throughout any Catholic thread on the D&D.

Leftists show absolutely zero restraint when it comes to Anti-Catholic rhetoric or Catholophobia but anything criticizing Islam is unacceptable because it is "Islamophobia" - Complete double standard.

 

What? You mean mosques were moving Imams around to cover it up? You act as if there is some Muslim hierarchy where the leaders were covering it up. 67% of Americans identify as Christians. The vast majority of rapes in the United States are done by Christians.

 

Leftist, leftist, leftist... for an alleged "libertarian" you never seem to have an issue with the far-right like the rest of your tribe.

Honestly there should be a filter here to auto block all "libertarians" in the D&D by default.

 

The vast majority of any crime statistic in the United States are done by Christians because Christians make up a large majority of the population. Thank you captain obvious.

Islam denies basic human rights to hundreds of millions of person and is the greatest source of human suffering the world today. The Catholic church and whatever its faults or crimes doesn't hold a candle to the human suffering Islam is causing as I type this.

Leftists like you won't contemplate that or criticize Islam though, that's not socially acceptable in Liberal circles, anti-Catholic bashing is totally fine and encouraged though.

 

You gonna criticize Islam the religion/ideology/movement subjugating and denying human rights to hundreds of millions?

What are the wrongs the right is inflicting on humanity in comparison bruh?

 

I dunno, "Lefties" means a lot of things rn. If all Dems were lefties, then you can throw in the Cheneys and Never Trumpers. I know the more vocal atheists will follow your script, but not all lefties are atheists if you catch my drift.

Making jokes about pedo priests are as fair game to me as making some off color terrorist jokes, but I admit one will get you more canceled than the other.

I looked into my own recent posts about Catholics and I still vibe with it.

 

It's a religion of anger, subjugation, and political instability for most countries that even partially adopt it. My question to you wasn't specifically about religion just about the alt right sect in general. This is my broad opinion as a "leftist" and a Catholic. Floor is yours...

 

I take every issue as it comes, give it thoughtful consideration and reach a conclusion.

The subject of this thread is, broadly, Islam and Islam and its relationship with the West.

My thoughts on Islam are it is one of the greatest evils in the world today causing more readily preventable human suffering than anything else I could possibly think of.

With regards to Islam and the West. I look on with horror at the growth of Islam in the West and the importation of its barbaric 8th century practices/morality/tenets and courses of conduct into Western countries. I don't think it's called out nearly enough and in particular leftists in the West are terrified of criticizing Islam. I think that is stupid, cowardly and a grave disservice to the people of these countries. Fortunately, the United States is not nearly as effected as places like the UK.

 

My brother in Christ this country spent a trillion dollars trying to to blow up brown Muslims.

Islam is like any other abrahamic authoritarian religion. All of them explicitly stated that women must obey their husbands. Christianity and Islam in particular claim that people who don't believe in their beliefs deserve eternal torture.

But the reality of how humans practice the religion they are born into has more to do with material conditions they have experienced in their lives.

Look at how bendable Christian literature is. The same book, the Bible, was used to defend the institution of slavery and argue against it. Also look at how material conditions shaped modern American Christianity. Christianity before western imperialism of the global South was seen as a religion that advocated against the wealthy. As Americans became more prosperous, Christianity changed to a religion that glorifies wealth accumulation with prosperity gospel.

You see this with periods of Islam being practiced in for example the peak of the Ottoman Empire where material conditions might have been better than any parts of Europe and therefore in relative terms egalitarianism was more prevalent in Middle Eastern culture than European culture where during the era of peak Ottoman power you saw the most violent the Catholic Church was to any form of dissent.

The vast majority of people who claim a religion abide by moral principles that they obtained through experiences in their lives rather than religious text. Usually religious text is just used post hoc to justify already done actions.
