Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Last I checked, Christianity did not love gays either...) the verse about killing disbelievers was circumstantial. Nothing in Islam says stone a women after she is raped.

Islam is culturally backward. From the death penalty for being gay, the stoning of raped women, the forced wearing of head covers to honour killings, forced marriages, blasphemy laws, jihadis, global terrorism carried out in it's name.

The fact is that there is no easy way to end world poverty, but we can start by identifying colonialist practices and stopping them and seeking more equitable societies and international relations. I don't have all the answers for you, but jumping to bigotry is not one of them, and interventionism is not another.


Hell, if you're method of dealing with the problem terrorism is solving the impossible to solve problem of globabl poverty, gee, why don't you share that with the US government!


Why is it impossible? No, really. The end to global poverty is within our reach; the single biggest obstacle to it now is corporate greed.

Hell you could sooner remove Islam from existance than you could remove global poverty. And removing islam is a shoe in to stop islamic terror, whereas the results of removing poverty is up in the air.


And removing Christianity is a "shoo-in" to stop bombings of abortion clinics. Yet somehow, I never see that mentioned as a solution...

And believe it or not colonialism isn't the source of global poverty.


Source? No. But it is undeniable that colonialism exacerbated poverty, deliberately hindered economic development (imperial economics was built on the concept of colonies producing raw materials & shipping them to the imperial heartland, which would use them to manufacture finished goods - leading to imperial powers deliberately discouraging industrialization in their colonies) and created hosts of social ills, especially through their frequently-used "divide and rule" policies.

Hell, it probably has made plenty of colonies richer and more developed in a shorter time than they ever would have done now,


Name one. Just one. Even "model colonies" would have almost certainly done better without the "benevolent" oversight of their imperial power.

in which case continued failure of ex colonial countries to succeed economical by themselves is just them falling back to where they would have been without colonialism in the first place.


Conjecture. What's more, conjecture totally unsupported by even inferential evidence.

So, if interventionism is not a solution, well, we just let ISIS grow and don't try to stop them, don't help those who fight back against them, don't provide aid to the impoverished Muslims, don't take any refugees (is that non interventionism, not taking refugees? Or is taking infinite refugees non interventionism?) just go all star trek prime directive on them even as they blow our civilians up every other week as they slowly engulf the entire middle east and probably Europe. Great, I'm sure they'll work it out eventually, probably about 50 years after the world is destroyed by nuclear fire.


What a pathetic strawman of an argument. To take it apart in order:

So, if interventionism is not a solution


Careless interventionism is certainly not a solution. Thinking that we can impose Western ideas of civic society at bayonet-point is not a solution. That way of thinking was attempted in Iraq, and led to ISIS' very formation.

we just let ISIS grow and don't try to stop them


By bombing their chief opponents, the Assad regime. Remind me, how does the Western world's effort at removing Assad help stop ISIS?

don't provide aid to the impoverished Muslims,


You're arguing for that exact policy, at least by inference, when arguing that attempts to end global poverty are futile. Make up your mind.

don't take any refugees (is that non interventionism, not taking refugees? Or is taking infinite refugees non interventionism?)


What nonsense. Ever hear of this thing called a "happy middle ground"? Ever hear of providing support to refugees as they resettle, to help them integrate (no, I don't mean throwing money at them - I mean providing counseling, assistance in learning the local language, enrolling their kids in integrated schools, etc. etc.)?

Didn't think so.

just go all star trek prime directive on them even as they blow our civilians up every other week as they slowly engulf the entire middle east and probably Europe.


Your alarmism is as pathetic as it is uninformed. Just remember: Right now, by attempting to overthrow Assad, the West is aiding ISIS. No, seriously: Attacking ISIS' enemy #1 is effectively aiding them. Hence, calls for a change in policy.

1) Not really:

Please note that since Volcker brought inflation under control in the early 1980s, inflation has been historically low and stable.

2) When the USA was on the gold standard, electronics accounted for far less usage of gold. With that as a competing use for gold, returning to the gold standard would be absurdly deflationary as less currency-available gold attempts to cover more output. On top of that, the prices of almost all electronics would spike, resulting in (paradoxically) an inflationary spike followed by long, steady deflation.

Yes. See the graph above.

Quran (4:11) - (Inheritance) "The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females" (see also verse 4:176). In Islam, sexism is mathematically established.

Quran (2:282) - (Court testimony) "And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not found then a man and two women." Muslim apologists offer creative explanations to explain why Allah felt that a man's testimony in court should be valued twice as highly as a woman's, but studies consistently show that women are actually less likely to tell lies than men, meaning that they make more reliable witnesses.

Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing...
but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun(the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)" (Translation is from the Noble Quran) The verse prior to this (190) refers to "fighting for the cause of Allah those who fight you" leading some to believe that the entire passage refers to a defensive war in which Muslims are defending their homes and families. The historical context of this passage is not defensive warfare, however, since Muhammad and his Muslims had just relocated to Medina and were not under attack by their Meccan adversaries. In fact, the verses urge offensive warfare, in that Muslims are to drive Meccans out of their own city (which they later did). Verse 190 thus means to fight those who offer resistance to Allah's rule (ie. Muslim conquest). The use of the word "persecution" by some Muslim translators is disingenuous (the actual Arabic words for persecution - "idtihad" - and oppression - a variation of "z-l-m" - do not appear in the verse). The word used instead, "fitna", can mean disbelief, or the disorder that results from unbelief or temptation. This is certainly what is meant in this context since the violence is explicitly commissioned "until religion is for Allah" - ie. unbelievers desist in their unbelief.

For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds.... And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone)" - An account that is borrowed from the Biblical story of Sodom. Muslim scholars through the centuries have interpreted the "rain of stones" on the town as meaning that homosexuals should be stoned, since no other reason is given for the people's destruction. (Inexplicably, the story is also repeated in suras 15:74, 27:58 and 29:40).

And do as I like with in the confines of the law.

Pros: Meritocracy, Monarchy, Egalitarianism, free speech and free expression (Most of these are a given)

Cons: Feminism, people who put feelings before fact, and Islam also people who think the "Guilty until proven innocent" mentality is acceptable.

How did the west enslave the population, your certainly making a absurd claim there.

Is imperialistic occupation of the entire Muslim world not enslaving the population? Is dividing up their nations to keep them from binding together as a superpower not enslavement? Is installing corrupt dictators who give you all of their countries natural resources, and in turn provide poor living conditions for their people not enslavement? Lets list a few. The Saudis. The Kuwaitis. The Qataris. Now the really bad ones: Saddam Hussein for example. Back to how the west enslaved and is constantly enslaving the population: lets talk about how they plotted to reinstate the Shah of Iran when the people clearly did not want him in 1979. Lets talk about how the West (actually, I shall now start referring to the West as we) is still in Iraq and Afghanistan when most of the population clearly detests our presence. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM3Z_Kskl_U) Lets talk about how we are not leaving them be, to decide their own government. Lets talk about how whenever a "terrorist organization" pops up that will likely never effect us, we feel the need to be the world police, and occupy that country. Oh, and by the way, we also indirectly or directly created nearly all of the groups we see today. (technically, we should forget Bush did 9/11. Ronald Reagan did 9/11...)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_terrorism


The Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) is also a Christian[55] Naga nationalist Militant group operating in North India.[56][57] The main aim of the organization is to establish a sovereign Christian state, "Nagalim"[58] unifying all the areas inhabited by the Naga people in Northeast India and Burma.[59] The organization's slogan is "Nagaland for Christ".[60][61][62][63][64][65] Its manifesto is based on the principle of Socialism for economic development and a Baptist Christian religious outlook ‘Nagaland for Christ’.[66] In some of their documents the NSCN has called for recognizing only Christianity in Nagalim.[67] They believe in Christian theocracy.[68] The NSCN has been declared a terrorist organisation in India under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.[69] It is believed that the organisation primarily raises funds through trafficking drugs from Burma and selling smuggled weapons to other insurgent groups in the region.[70] The group reportedly indulges in kidnapping, extortion and other terrorist activities.[71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79] NSCN is accused of carrying out the 1992–1993 ethnic cleansing of Kuki tribes in Manipur, said to have leave over 900 people dead. During that NSCN-IM operation, 350 Kuki villages were driven out and about 100,000 Kukis were turned into refugees[80]

On 3 August 2015 NSCN leader T. Muivah signed a peace accord with the Government of India in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, and NSA Ajit Doval.[81]

Oh, wait you won't. Because it is Muslim propaganda. Muhammad (SAW) and his followers made a deal with the Qurash, that would allow them to go to Mecca to perform the pilgrimage to Mecca, which is not a luxury, it is an obligation. They violated the treaty, thus declaring war. They never "drove them out of their city", in fact, they allowed them to stay in peace!

ISIS are not Islam, they are criminals, so I don't give a damn what they do.
Also while Christians don't like Gay people at least they don't throw them of roofs like Muslims did.

The Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) is also a Christian[55] Naga nationalist Militant group operating in North India.[56][57] The main aim of the organization is to establish a sovereign Christian state, "Nagalim"[58] unifying all the areas inhabited by the Naga people in Northeast India and Burma.[59] The organization's slogan is "Nagaland for Christ".[60][61][62][63][64][65] Its manifesto is based on the principle of Socialism for economic development and a Baptist Christian religious outlook ‘Nagaland for Christ’.[66] In some of their documents the NSCN has called for recognizing only Christianity in Nagalim.[67] They believe in Christian theocracy.[68] The NSCN has been declared a terrorist organisation in India under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.[69] It is believed that the organisation primarily raises funds through trafficking drugs from Burma and selling smuggled weapons to other insurgent groups in the region.[70] The group reportedly indulges in kidnapping, extortion and other terrorist activities.[71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79] NSCN is accused of carrying out the 1992–1993 ethnic cleansing of Kuki tribes in Manipur, said to have leave over 900 people dead. During that NSCN-IM operation, 350 Kuki villages were driven out and about 100,000 Kukis were turned into refugees[80]

On 3 August 2015 NSCN leader T. Muivah signed a peace accord with the Government of India in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, and NSA Ajit Doval.[81]

I believe I should have the Freedom to say whatever I like no matter how offensive without negative consequences ( free to criticise me though ).
And do as I like with in the confines of the law.

Pros: Meritocracy, Monarchy, Egalitarianism, free speech and free expression (Most of these are a given)

Cons: Feminism, people who put feelings before fact, and Islam also people who think the "Guilty until proven innocent" mentality is acceptable.

Quran (2:282) - (Court testimony) "And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not found then a man and two women." Muslim apologists offer creative explanations to explain why Allah felt that a man's testimony in court should be valued twice as highly as a woman's, but studies consistently show that women are actually less likely to tell lies than men, meaning that they make more reliable witnesses.

Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing...
but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun(the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)" (Translation is from the Noble Quran) The verse prior to this (190) refers to "fighting for the cause of Allah those who fight you" leading some to believe that the entire passage refers to a defensive war in which Muslims are defending their homes and families. The historical context of this passage is not defensive warfare, however, since Muhammad and his Muslims had just relocated to Medina and were not under attack by their Meccan adversaries. In fact, the verses urge offensive warfare, in that Muslims are to drive Meccans out of their own city (which they later did). Verse 190 thus means to fight those who offer resistance to Allah's rule (ie. Muslim conquest). The use of the word "persecution" by some Muslim translators is disingenuous (the actual Arabic words for persecution - "idtihad" - and oppression - a variation of "z-l-m" - do not appear in the verse). The word used instead, "fitna", can mean disbelief, or the disorder that results from unbelief or temptation. This is certainly what is meant in this context since the violence is explicitly commissioned "until religion is for Allah" - ie. unbelievers desist in their unbelief.

Read this book:https://www.amazon.com/Muhammad-Life-Based-Earliest-Sources/dp/1594771537

Oh, wait you won't. Because it is Muslim propaganda. Muhammad (SAW) and his followers made a deal with the Qurash, that would allow them to go to Mecca to perform the pilgrimage to Mecca, which is not a luxury, it is an obligation. They violated the treaty, thus declaring war. They never "drove them out of their city", in fact, they allowed them to stay in peace!
For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds.... And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone)" - An account that is borrowed from the Biblical story of Sodom. Muslim scholars through the centuries have interpreted the "rain of stones" on the town as meaning that homosexuals should be stoned, since no other reason is given for the people's destruction. (Inexplicably, the story is also repeated in suras 15:74, 27:58 and 29:40).

Well then that's the fault of the people who interpreted it isn't it?

Already read the book.

Doesn't change the fact that I put quotes that are directly from the Quran right in front of you.

Yes while this will forever taint my view of him, doesn't change the fact that Christians aren't the ones throwing gay people of roofs.

Your flakiness and unwillingness to debate is not on racism or whether we should oppress brown people. It is on the fundamental ideals which underpin your ideology. That is what I wish to debate. You will not defend them because you can't defend them. You'd rather cry "racist" and take the easy route out.

I have always provided sources for my claims as well as solid examples. It is not baseless in the slightest. I will not step off you until you address the accusations made to both myself and those of us in the West by your broad brushstroke of guilt. Your insult to those who live in the poverty countries by claiming they all lack agency and can't decide why they do things. If anybody is a racist here, it is yourself.

I've very much debated the underpinnings of my ideology, like opposition to colonialism and focus on root causes rather than jumping to the familiar arms of racism when scary brown people do scary brown things. Sorry, but sometimes when racism gets called on you, it's your fault, not the stupid dumb liberal's for insinuating that maybe you've said something racist.

Oh, the classic "liberals are the real racists for saying that maybe brown people are poor because white people stole all their things". I'm not denying anyone agency, just saying that terrorism happens because of the languishing poverty left in the wake of colonialist activities like the US war in Iraq which directly led to the foundation and prosperity of ISIS.

Don't for a second think you've got the facts on me. The facts say all human beings are largely the same and only our situations define us. Muslims are not dumb and neither their religion nor their ethnicity makes them terrorize.


Its not racism to realize that ideology is the driving factor behind the sustained opposition of insurgencies. You can't shoot ideas. This is what I have been trying to explain to you but you seem to not understand. Its not racist to point that out. I've explained how it exists in Northern Ireland, I've explained how money does not automatically make you immune to stupid ideas. I've not said it doesn't apply to white people. What I have said is that you are trying to disguise the weakness in your argument by crying "racism" when it suits you.

You are infact denying people agency by putting all their wrong doing on environment alone. You continually defend this narrative that the brown person is some how inferior and can't control their emotions/reasoning.

Dude, you posted a guy and defend the view that black people are unironically more oppressed today than they were under slavery. I've got plenty of facts on you and your retarded ideas. Brown people can do no wrong, brown people who don't agree with you (like myself) are Uncle Tom's and everybody is shaped only by environment. Agency does not exist.

What do you think the refugees and impoverished Muslims are going to do when they see that the west truly is bent on their destruction? THEY WILL TAKE ARMS AGAINST THE WEST! In my experience, people like you claim that we play the victim, when in fact YOU are playing the victim. You march into their countries, take their resources, enslave the population, terrorize the rest, and when they do the same to you you cry "terrorist!" Well yes, but aren't you the terrorist as well?
