Taliban

[lady-janine]

As it appears that the Taliban have very little respect for the female gender and think of them as second-class people I have been wondering why they (Taliban) do not embrace homosexuality. Surely that would fit their ideals more.

As I said Just thinking.

I don't think I have ever read as much guff from Gromit on one thread.

// So in gromit land we cannot criticise the Taliban unless we have zero crime ourselves? right oh!//

um came up in the war crimes trial of Goering 1946 - unrestricted bombing of civilian population
Goering - it can be a war crime - YOU did it
Hartley Shawcross and Maxwell Fyfe (*) - oo-er better crawss that off the indictment list then!

(*) Shawcross and Fyfe were the British prosecutors.
The American ex Supreme Ct Justice made such a mess of his bit that something happened ( he got a pay rise, or was made VP )

History - if we dont pay attnetion to it we are condemned to repeat it

[Peter Pedant]

cant be a war crime - you did it
I dont suppose many are reading it anyway

[roadman]

gromit is getting unfair stick here if you slowly read what he says

maybe look at our own lawn before we criticise the neighbours for not cutting theirs

//you can’t use Islam to justify their extremism//

You can - and you should.

////you can’t use Islam to justify their extremism//
Absolutely nothing justifies what they do.I think justify is the wrong context, blame would be a better word.

[Spicerack]

I read it, pp.
I nearly said explain would be a better word, danny, on the previous page.
Islam must have brilliant PR. Doesn't matter what is done in it's name western people will always defend it. Often the last people you'd expect. People who should really fear/dislike them.

[roadman]

naomi so you think islam justifies their actions i do not i think it is a cop out excuse for the mentally ill

[LeonBlank1995]

Islam is the religion of Peace and Love. There is no need to debate it in such an argumentative way.

I have NEVER witnessed nor seen any disrespect to females within its ideology.

May the love of Allah be with you all.

I have moved this thread into "Society & Culture".

[Spicerack]

gully 14.25
please move to fantasy as it has no reason to be in a serious thread..

[naomi24]

roadman, so many mentally ill people all belonging to the same religion. Claiming they’re mentally ill is the cop out!

Khandro - // AH //Rape is nothing to do with sex, it's about power and control.//

Of course it's about sex, - is this another of your crackpot theories ? //

Clearly your obsession with being right about God has narrowed your educational focus to the point where you fail to grasp a fundamental point about sexual crimes of violence.

To answer your question - no, it's not 'another of my crackpot theories' (Oh the irony!!!) - it's the view of the World Health Organsation.

And unlike you, I can actually provide evidence for my view -

A concept you have yet to encounter - someone who knows more about something that you think you do.

That's a terrible link, Andy. Did you not bother reading it.

Spicerack - // That's a terrible link, Andy. Did you not bother reading it. //

Of course I read it - I am not in the habit of posting links without reading them first.

Of course it's a 'terrible' link - rape is a terrible concept, and I posted the link to address the crass ignorance and rudeness of one of our fervent brethren, who was busy underlining the fact that he pontificates about things he knows absolutely nothing about.
