This is a good example of what must change about Islam - hypersentivity to criticism of religion, using it to justify real attacks and taking everything a step lower, trying to undermine freedom of speech by equating criticism of religion with personal insult. It is an attack on the very fabric of our society.
Quote:And as usual, Freediver is happy for people to attack muslim children and the way we raise them, but squeals like a hypocritical b(tch he is when someone makes similar insults to a poster, who ironically just finished insulting another poster in a very similar way.
Lestat, I don't know how many times I will have to explain this to you. I have had the same discussion with Mozz myself. I was in your position of arguing against his attacks on religion. The difference is that I did not use his opinion to try to excuse calling his daughter a slut. Not just because it would make me look like an intolerant bigot and undermine my argument, but because that crosses a line of what is acceptable and unacceptable. A line you don't seem to be capable of seeing, because Islam makes criticism of religion a far greater crime.
This is a good example of the double standards and hypocricy of our resident Islamophobes...and until they actually address this they will not be taken seriously by any reasonably minded person.
This is the second time you have stated that I called his daughter a slut, and I'll ask you again, show me where I have done this.
I attacked his culture, his morals which encourage young girls to go out, drink, enjoy life, enjoy their freedom, and which often results in teenage sexual activities, this is a fact, this is your culture, this is what it promotes.
I never called her a slut, and despite your repeating the same lies again and again, the fact that you refuse or are unable to highlight where I have called her a slut, exposes your lies for what they are.
If you are to attack religon, then you have to be willing to also have your own beliefs/culture attacked....
You can explain it all you like Freediver...quite frankly you are wrong. Yes I know you believe you are right, but you are not. An insult is an insult, no mater who the victim. Their is not one set of rules for muslims, and another for all others...though I am certain that you wish (or believe) there is.
Besides...I have shown clearly that his post was not an attack on islam...is was a personal insult against muslims...a fact that you seem unable or unwilling to address.
