No more or less than any monotheist religion, extending your logic, every religion is a hardcore ideology, so why does Islam get the exclusivity?
Wait so now you agree that Islam is an ideology? Didn't you initially say that it wasn't? Did you change your mind or what?
Excuse me? "They"? Who the hell is they? Hey mack, you're addressing me, what I say doesn't commit anyone to anything, it only involves "me", you're talking with me, so don't put "me" in a "they".
He wasn't put you in a "they". He was clearly referring to Islam apologists who're notorious for reciting or referencing only the nice parts of scripture and leaving out the horrific parts in order to promote the laughable idea that Islam is a "peaceful" religion.
And don't put "women", "Jews", "gays" in one big category of people targeted by Islam
And why not? If you've read the Islamic source texts, you'd realize that women, gays and Jews get the short end of the stick in Islam.
Wrong. The majority of ISIS members are either Caucasian or disillusioned Arabs druggies and loonies who never touched a Quran in their life. And the majority of ISIS victims are Muslims.- You say he's wrong, but you don't show how he's wrong, and only go on to make statements that do not refute what he said. He said that ISIS is guided by the Qur'an. That is very clear to anyone who has read the Qur'an. That the majority of ISIS members are "Caucasian" or "disillusioned Arabs druggies and loonies who never touched a Qur'an in their life", does not negate ISIS being guided by the Qur'an. The majority of ISIS are followers; the leaders are a tiny minority. The leaders are the ones that have read the Qur'an and use its teachings to lead and guide the majority and the organization as a whole.
- Whether or not the majority of ISIS "victims" are Muslims, is irrelevant here. We're talking about an Islamic state. Which means that the majority of the people under their jurisdiction are Muslims, which means the majority of those deemed as law breakers and therefore deserving punishment (the "victims") will be Muslims.
Of course, after what you said about ISIS, you couldn't lose your credibility any worse.
You yourself lose credibility when you avoid addressing actual points made, and would rather attack straw man arguments. He said Islam needs a reformation. Which is a reasonable suggestion, seeing as Islam as an ideology is a very problematic one. For some reason, you chose not to address that point.
Yes, Islam is bad, and plainly so. Just like the other major religions, it has serious problems that shouldn't be ignored or excused. I think the world would a better place without these poisonous religions. It isn't "propaganda"; it's just common sense.

The problem with Emma Watson's campaign for feminism was that she didn't get arrested for it. Someone is not truly fighting injustice unless she gets arrested for it.
Did she lose a job b/c she stood for her principles? We don't knowshe never said she lost a job b/c of it. If anything she is losing jobs now b/c feminism is now her platform and it's not inspiringjust safe. -

Feminism has never been about equality. You use voting as an example. You know why a number of women had no interest in the vote originally? Because they worried it'd mean they'd have to die in a war too. Men have had an obligation attached to their right to vote since basically forever. Until just this year (or last year I suppose) women had no obligation attached to their right to vote. Now it doesn't matter though. I doubt we'll see another draft.
Another common ruse is the "patriarchal" idea that women are caretakers and that's why women get custody after a divorce. Look up the tender years doctrine. It's a lovely little feminist creation. You know what happened before the tender years doctrine was introduced? Fathers primarily got custody because they had the obligation to p238rovide for their children. After the tender years doctrine creeped into law, fathers still have to provide financial support, but don't get custody. This was not an accident.
In non-reciprocal domestic violence cases for heterosexual couples, who is the perpetrator in the majority of cases? The woman. If only one parent is abusive to a child, which one is it? The mother. But who is labeled the violent savage?
Female same sex couples have the second highest probability of domestic violence behind bisexual women. Male same sex couples have5b4 the lowest. Bisexual males have a higher chance than heterosexual women.
Then we get introduced to myths such as the wage gap; taking an average of all earnings of women and all earnings of men, and seeing that when you average everything together there's a discrepancy. It ignores studies finding that single women are out-earning men at the same age in the same jobs.
Now it has also included such "horrible" things as manspreading, manthreading, mansplaining, AC being sexist, and science being objective instead of subjective. -

When I was a child my grandmother told me that if you made a wish whilst blowing on a dandelion then just like magic; your wish would come true and you'd get what you wanted.
I'll be honest here and say I never tried to do this so I have no clue if it's true but I think this is as good of a time as any to try it out.
I couldn't find any dandelions however I did wish really hard for the quotes above to be true. If everyone else wished really hard too and even if some of you managed to get hold of some dandelions then even better.
If we've all wished hard enough then tomorrow morning when I wake up perhaps the majority of domestic violence perpetrators will be womenand of course the rest of the twaddle you mentioned in your post will come true too
Everybody blow those dandelions and wish
Come on now, this is for Squirrel. -

I believe initially feminism started to empower women who were oppressed, like not allowed to vote, treated as property, etc., But now feminists are concerned about going topless or "man-hating". There are still parts of the world, where women aren't treated as people let alone equals. Shouldn't the real feminists advocating rights, where women really need a voice?
well said!
