    Do you spend all you days online looking for horror stories involving Muslims to paste on TalkBass or do you have other cool hobbies ?

    If you don't think that feminists have strongly criticized this sort of thing, you are simply proving how little you really know about feminist writing and activism.:eyebrow:

    For the record a vast majority of Muslims are not like this father. This is a great story from the NT Daily News about a Muslim man who intervened to save two Jewish men who were being attacked.

    http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_...12_muslim_hero_breaks_up_train_beating-1.html

    My beef is the reaction of many "Muslim spokespersons" instead of condemning the practices of the extremist they seem to try to whitewash it. This quote from the AP article:

    "To say it was about her not wearing the hijab, I think that's an oversimplification. All we've heard is from her peers saying that," Siddiqui said. "Many of us who have teenagers or had teenagers know this is a very difficult time. Their hormones and emotions are raging and they are trying to assert their independence."

    Just another case of Teenage angst and the old folks not getting it. Kinda like Bye, Bye, Birdie the directors cut.:meh:

    I think these groups would do the majority of Muslims who aren't extremist a big favor by condemning these actions. But that appears to be very rare.

    This father is a murderer. The reason really isn't important, murder never makes sense.

    Even if he does, does it make the story any less horrible?

    2,000 out of over a billion is pretty damn insignificant.

    That's good. My statement stands as an example to others though.

    Hey, it's not all that different from the family that kills their kid with a radical vegan diet, or a family that kills their kid by not allowing a needed blood transfusion on religious grounds. What people do in the name of religion or any other rabid dogma will likely never fail to astound me.
     
  17. I meant 2000 that we hear about in the news.

    So although you didn't mention it in your original post you do have a beef with the behavior of Muslims as a group? So what, you thought you'd just make an innocent post and see what sort of hatred you could inflame? Classy.

    I'd like to know the basis of your claims about the 'reaction of many Muslim spokespersons' and your claim that condemnation of extremist behavior by Muslims 'appears to be very rare'. Have you made a studies of what 'Muslim spokespersons' claim? Or are you just venting your 'beef'?

    Even the link you gave, you quoted from selectively. The point was being made that domestic violence is common and not confined to wearers of the hijab. Fair enough I would of said. Ever consider why they feel the need to point that out? Maybe because they worry that ignoramuses will make inflammatory comments about Muslim parents murdering their children over the hijab.

    I don't know what possess you to start this kind of post on this forum. I can only see it as negative and ill intentioned. Why the moderators permit this sort of garbage is beyond me.

    Well that's enuff from me, I'll leave you to enjoy your cesspit.

    Actually, I didn't Quote selectively, the AP piece, had three quotes from Muslim "spokespersons" including one from the Canadian branch of CAIR and one from the lawyer. They all were consistent for one thing. Not one of them condemned or blamed Muslim extremism. It was culture shock, teen hormones, or domestic violence. But it had nothing to do with the fathers apparently extremist religious views? And for CAIR this is their MO.

    I realize that a vast majority of Muslims are not Jihandist looking for an infidel to behead. But the continual habit of there spokespersons to blame shift and rarely if ever condemn the actions of the extremist in there midst only reinforces the stereotype of the Rage Boys of the world.
     
  20. Or just maybe they're waiting for some actual facts to come out before jumping to conclusions.
    That seems relevant to me. It's premature to jump to conclusions about this guy's motive.
