Netherlands: 18 year old Ryan al-Najjar was tied up, beaten, and drowned by her father and brothers for being too Westernized

What is whataboutism, Alex?
Whataboutism is a lateral move. What I suggested was a zoom-out.

The whole idea of religion is outdated. Abrahamic religions all share a similar problem. The real issue arises when a religion meets a particular culture.
No normal culture should/would ever allow this kind of thing to happen. Fundamentalist Islamic culture is the most harmful plague of its kind. It's miles ahead of other any other problematic religious cultures, and it's significant enough to be concerned.
It's something we should actively denounce and criticize, and it's not racist or disrespectful to other cultures to do so.
Which occupied territories are Muslim countries presently starving and/or bombing?

Islam is a plague.
I dont understand why leftists try and platform this terrible religion.
Westerners can be so fucking weird. Some of these people would rather let teenage girls get beaten to death than risk compromising their own white saviour complex and need to feel tolerant. My family was Muslim and I've been told, by the whitest of the white, that I'm racist for saying something against Islam because "cultures must be respected". I am racist against my own people? Oh my.. then, of course, there's the other Westerners who believe I obviously have four wives and trade in camels even when I claim not to be religious..

Someone paid no attention to religious fundamentalist in history. Religion is just a form of division. No different than race, age, class, or sexuality. If there's a religion (or any other kind of group) they've killed ppl for not conforming
Yes, and Islamic fundamentalists are the worst in terms of what we have in this age. They outnumber and outdo anyone else.

You can believe in things, even god(s) and not be “religious.” But as soon as religion kicks in, and the dogmatism and compartmentalization that comes with it, it becomes a tool of authoritarianism, which itself breeds every kind of inhuman horror imaginable.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]That's more geopolitical than cultural, which ultimately is cultural, yes, but I think you know the difference.

Not everyone has the privilege to choose where they move.
If you're a Syrian refugee you definitely have the choice of going to Turkey rather than all the long way to the Netherlands..

You singled out leftists as doing something bad, ergo leftists are bad. Sorry, a bit of a knee jerk reaction on my part.
I guess it’s probably because leftists tend to promote religious tolerance even where it isn’t deserved (imo).
Again, im not really sure why when religion, in modern practice, is almost explicitly against every leftist goal despite its teachings.

Cat Stevens is despicable and Sinead O'Connor is pathetic. The new pope is complicit in child abuse. The Rimpoche was an HIV superspreader, and Mohammed was a warlord.

The VAST majority of Muslims are just regular, kind people who don't murder their families.
Yeah that's great.
But why, I really hate to be this guy right now, do leftists not platform Christianity if that is the case?
Religion is a plague on this earth, just to make my position clear here so some idiot doesn't think im a right wing chud.

Ever heard about Gaza? About Ukraine? About Xinjiang? The cartel murders? Hindutva? But I’m glad you found a reason to spread your bigotry…

"Islam is bad"
well what about every religion

Imagine saying Judaism is a plague. This would be rightfully deleted for being actually antisemitic.
So please don’t let this shit up here.

I think you don't have an argument. That's what I think. BTW, which religion is presently occupying territories and bombing children and shooting food aid seekers?

I really doubt they outdo the christofaschists...
