Tei posted:- Bacon is delicious. Are you guys mad? quote:Islamophobe is too big a word. It mean you "hate" islam or "fear" it. I just think is a stupid set of beliefs, thats much less strong than "hate". Anyway If somebody feel that way, and really hate islam, I don't think is a irrational thing to do. Do you think Do you think following a thousand-year old religious creed is silly and un-modern? Congrats! You're not an Islamophobe. Unless you want those adherents to that religious creed to immediately renounce their faith and flagellate themselves for being awful people for daring to follow a non-european religion. That may be a bit xenophobic. Black Baby Goku posted:I agree with this post.

Tei posted:Heres a article about Sharia Law. Wikia? Nice 'article', mereswine. Doesn't even have a bibliography at the bottom, just a couple citations from unscholarly sources. Doesn't argue anything, just goes "look at all this gross poo poo theocracies get up to!". If you weren't arguing in bad faith, or are English-As-Second language and your poor argumentation is due to language issues, I would reccomend using more primary/secondary sources instead of glorified blogs (or even a scholarly sort of blog at the very least). Perhaps attempt to perform some sort of synthesis tying abuses by patriarchal governments to specific readings of the Koran or specific Islamic philisophical traditions?

Tei posted:Wikipedia is the most popular wiki and is a encyclopedia, and is only natural that people see a wiki and asociate it with things like citations things and stuff you see in a encyclopedia. But this association is wrong. Not all wikis are encyclopedias, or need to be. True, but Wikia != Wikipedia. Wikia tends to collect wikis that are populated by a handful of extremely myopic editors who fail to establish or follow any sort of policies regarding quality or bias. Whatever its faults, Wikipedia at least attempts to remain vaugely scholarly and provide clear citations of good sources, and its visibility attracts many, many editors. The Wikia you linked in question is scarcely more than an indiscriminate collection of "religion bad!", mostly written by one contributor. Plus they show their bias on the front page, declaring two of the goals of the Wikia are to "Highlight the damage which religions can cause" and "Show the world the damage caused by Religion". Not exactly compelling stuff. Especially when they claim that "Liberal (read: European) Christianity is the least harmful religion".

I hate yankees posted:Islamaphobia stems from the fact that there is a silent majority of non-extremists. Anytime there is a terrorist attack there should be millions of Muslims marching and getting attention that this is not exceptable. Because this does not often occur the narrative that these kinds of practices (terrorism) is acceptable floats among westerners. Actually, they do. Often, actually.

Honestly, I'm not sure what Muslims could say to appease the militant xenophobes. Other than "I believe Jesus Christ to be the son of G-d, and denounce the false faith of Mohammad as a deception by the tempter Satan, and pledge myself to Christendom. All Muslims who do not convert are devils daring the skin of men; pass the hairshirt, I've got some flagellation to atone for the acts of terrorists whom I supported by not immediately converting to Chistianity to get to." of course.

"We've been bombing them for like six months now, but we should do more to help! Let's take in some refugees!"

Tei posted:Do we agree a culture can be "bad"? No, because "bad" is in dire need of qualification and is entirely too broad a word for any sort of discussion, save tepid moralization about and hypocritical condemnation of other cultures based on nebulous bellyfeels. Do you mean:

Jastiger posted:I agree it is subjective to a point, but there has to be some point where we can say "you're closer to this faith or that faith" when analyzing view points.  I'm sorry, you scored a 5.2 on the CHRISTSCALE, clearly you're not a real Christian. Records indicate your neighbor possesses an exceptional score of 2.1, ask him for the correct Christian viewpoints on things.
