@HistoryBoomer He might be "sincere," but if he thinks that you can be anti-Israel without being anti-Semitic, he's naive. To be anti-Israel is to deny Jews a right to self-determination. It's liking Jews as 2nd class citizens or dhimmis. You can sugarcoat that, but it's true.
@MasterMaliq I've never seen a woman struggling to eat because was wearing a bikini. I have seen women sit at a table with men who are eating freely while struggling to eat behind a veil. Personally I don't care what others put on their heads, but covering your face is ridiculous.
@greendragonhq Lol, no, it's not ignorance to understand that socialism always fails in the long-run. Unlimited capitalism leads to greed, but once you remove the financial incentives for hard work, you stop progress. Watch the tax base shrivel as wealthy New Yorkers leave.
@ianrich15813274 It's important to look at people as individuals, but we need to also remember that, when people act in groups, they follow the values of the group. I'm sure your DIL is a lovely person, but people change when group loyalties are involved. That's how lovely Germans became Nazis.
@BIG_PARMENIDES I'm an older parent of young adults. I wish I started earlier, but better late than ever. Having a family is the most meaningful thing I've ever done, and I've had a pretty meaningful life. My one regret--not being a young grandparent.
@MuslimHuman77 Nah, Muslims have their beauties and their uglies just like everyone else. Non-Muslims have a problem with the burqa because they hate to see women struggling to do even basic things like eating without an obstruction or seeing where they are going.
@NotABotIRL@realMaalouf I've heard Muslim women themselves say differently, but let's suppose that Muslim theology DOES SAY Muslim women get "a perfect husband in paradise โ loyal, devoted, exclusively theirs." What does that say about their lives in the present? What does that say about polygamy?
@realMaalouf There's a video on X in which a hijabi says that she will get diamonds and jewels and be forever young in Paradise. Other Muslimahs say a Muslim wife gets to "supervise" her husband's sex slaves. They have a rather childish view of the afterlife.
