But apparently it's quite easy to ignore 1400 years of history, and an endless supply of modern real-world examples, polls, and videos. I guess if you bury your head far enough in the sand, even Islam can look good.

Oh of course not. You're not the first person to think like this, to put emotion before reason. You have preconceived notions about people who are different from you and no facts will convince you otherwise.

Even before the US was an independent country there was concern from the English speaking population about the Dutch and German settlers being too "foreign". The slave population couldn't be trusted with freedom. Irish and Italians would never integrate because of their Catholic beliefs.

And the sad part is these people never realize they're nothing more than political pawns. Look at how many poor white southerners died for slavery, how many Germans died to "save" themselves from the Jews.

Yea yea we get it, an ideology that dominates 52 countries, many of them at nearly 100% homogeneity because they purged all the nonbelievers, is just another example of some poor oppressed group that big bad western society just doesn't understand. Never mind the fact that nowhere else in the world is the same standard being expected. Kill on sight if you're a Jew in half the muslim world? Polytheists and gays being thrown off rooftops? Illegal to worship anything other than Islam in a dozen countries? Oh, let's ignore that. The REAL issue is western muslims not getting good enough jobs, or rich western nations not taking in a large enough number of muslims. Ah, the soft bigotry of low expectations, what a wicked web you weave.

Islam IS a battle against reason. Otherwise we'd be in agreement that it as a set of beliefs is bad and the world is at best no better for having it, at worst far worse off.

Lots, but I'm afraid you won't be able to grasp them since you seem unable to separate an ideology from race, which is why your counter to my criticism of a belief system is to compare it to racism against a nationality or skin color.

So are we just abandoning all the other things you mentioned? Because for someone who loves to claim others can't admit when they're wrong, you're doing a bang-up job of quietly pretending you didn't say all those other things. I mean, we can talk anti-catholic sentiment, too, but after you acknowledge you're wrong on all the other things you mentioned above, since you were so kind to insist that I admit that I was mistaken on the Ottoman empire before you went any further.

I think it's even weirder when faced with a situation where a minority group:

1. Has a slightly darker skin color (despite both being the same race)
2. Has cultural values that are incompatible with the majority

That the only thing you think is relevant to their treatment is #1. You're doing the same separation you're complaining about, only in the less intelligent of the two directions.

Are you actually asking why discrimination isn't logical? Do I have to give you the literal definition?

discrimination is treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person based on the group, class, or category to which the person is perceived to belong rather than on individual attributes.

But a person doesn't choose their skin color, sex, or sexuality.

They do choose their religion though, and some religions are very specific with how their followers must act and who they must be against.

There are many Muslims that allow women to vote. Turkey enacted women's suffrage only a decade after the USA. And guess what, it didn't take mass demonstrations for them to allow it. Jesus Christ why are you Islamophobes so ignorant?

That's definitely the case in a few of them, but that doesn't account for the vast majority. The Arab-Islamic world before the 11th century was incredibly prosperous and actually led the world in technology, mathematics, scientific achievements, architecture, and even art. Their civilization outperformed every country in Europe. And then that all died.


I'm shock that the guy who thinks Chechnya is completely autonomous and Russia should be absolved of any responsibilities in Chechnya actually knows this. Quite impressive.

That's an entirely false equivalency and if you can't see that you have a very immature childish view of the world and it would behoove you to study up on foreign politics and religion rather than comment on a video game message board on those topics which you clearly don't understand.

Well, besides their very recent purge which goes against the history and founding of the Turkish Republic by Attaturk.
