@MakMayek I'd like to think "Australians" will be preselected. What's is this "othering" you're doing???
Oh wait, that's how you see it. Them/us.
Where's your vision of one society? Buried under your group identity politics. Each group fighting for primacy.
Doomed to fail....
The American Left ... in starting the civil rights movement for black Americans, in combatting an unjust war in Indochina, and in beginning the emancipation of women β the way we think about sex β changed the way everyone thinks & the way everyone lives far beyond [U.S.] borders.
On Wednesday, astronomers across the globe will likely show us the first picture ever of a black hole. Those like me who grew up in the 70s-80s are obviously expecting this #MotivationMonday
Reminder of @mehdirhasan's rather questionable grasp of the burden of proof, and indeed reality.
Christopher Hitchens once said that Abrahamic religion "can't be believed by a thinking person". Hasan does his best here to prove him right.
@SamHarrisOrg I believe I am on record for saying you canβt be for or against immigration. Its not a football team.
Itβs like water. You canβt be pro water (drowning?) or anti water (drought?).
Sorry to mess this up.
@jricole@ripcitydiehard@BrianBeckcom Give us something in a nutshell to indicate you might have point. Have you a short analysis of this "context" you claim is not being respected. Which book is it in?
@aliajaded @Chriss_m All blatantly obvious. Is this as deep as you can go with this alipop? The piece of cloth is not oppressive the ideology behind it is. A symbol amongst many. What form does your support for those women in ME and elsewhere take? Call out the roots of the oppressive symbols.
@ohcherioBaby @aliajaded Don't think she can think that far through the discussion. She's still trying to spell out the obvious to her audience of 4 year olds. "It has to be a choice...." Gee no shit alipop...
Remember that religion has been greatly defanged here in the west, this is a battle that we're only beginning to fight around the world. #Solidarity#AtheistDay
We need to start using the term βanti-Muslim bigotryβ instead of the milder, vague, clinical term βIslamophobia.β
Itβs stronger, more accurate, and doesnβt diminish the efforts of reformers and dissidents risking their lives to fight Islamic theocracy in the Muslim world.
@DanaherJen@KTHopkins Never? Gosh that's a bit dramatic.
What about the likes of Anjem ChoudaryΒ and his mates. They are your countrymen too... Must be a long list, this disdain list...
