Is Diversity and Multiculturalism a Good or Bad Thing?

[Jolthig]

Multiculturalism is a good thing. People from various backgrounds can exchange ideas with one another and gain something from one another.

Throughout the years, my city has been growing more and more diverse. And without this diversity and multiculturalism, I would have never became an Ahmadi Muslim.

Generally I wouldn’t care what these pseudo-Islamic hipsters say just as long as they don’t force that way of thinking on others like I’ve recently witnessed.

Pseudo-Islamic? Are you referring to Ahmadis?

I’m referring to anyone who thinks of themselves as Muslims while only choosing which laws to follow and which to just ignore....and people who just call themselves and identify as Muslims just to be edgy.

Oh yeah, there's some Muslims like that unfortunately, there's whole 'sects' dedicated to watering down Al-Islam...
Are you Muslim?

Nah I’m agnostic actually.

I agree with you. exchanging ideas and gaining something has made places like London, Buenos Aires, Frankfurt, Jersey City and Toronto what they are. True melting pots.

I don't care for the opinion of others. What matters is I have found my peace.

Plus, I do not view Islam as just a middle eastern religion. Its a religion for the entire world.

Or if someone does use the logic that Islam is a middle eastern religion, then so is Christianity.

So I'm a hipster for just posting what I posted? Even though I don't tree hug?

My goodness. That's not what I do at all, if you are referring to me.

Correct.

Also correct.

That is what EVERYONE does, Muslims and Non-Muslims alike.

I thought you were speaking of religious laws.

Yeah, the guy didn't specify what kind of laws to follow. If he meant religious laws and he accuses me of not following them on purpose, then he is wrong.

[Pilarcraft]

Generally when someone references Ayathollah in Iranian politics they are referring to the supreme religious leader.

Then be more specific I'm just messing with you. Either way, the Supreme Leader is elected by the Assembly of Experts who are in turn elected by the people in a direct election. Once the Old Revolutionary Guard starts to die out, the government will probably become more and more progressive gradually. I don't see another revolution in the near future.

technically, the Assembly of Experts (who also have the right to fire the leader as it were) are not quite democratically elected, as some of them are elected by the leader himself XD

The Supreme Leader doesn't elect them. He appoints members of the Guardian Council who are in charge of approving candidates and then the people elect an expert from among these candidates to an 8 year term.

Iran is interesting as a weirdy awkward attempt to reconcile democracy with an eternal revealed law. It's actually a lot like the United States conceptually. At least the US has the excuse that no one had yet tried it though.

Democracy is somewhat compatible with Al-Islam in that the citizens of an Islamic state can vote, which is called 'giving bay'ah (allegiance)'.

Americanising rubbish.

But that's my point: Iran is an awkward attempt to reconcile Islamic and American values.

"Our nation is a nation of Native Cultures. Those of which being German, French, Native America, Atomic era American, and Hillbillies. And although we are a diverse nation, all the groups are segregated (By their own favor) into factions and territories. As for those outside our borders well..... Watching their torture is quite satisfying. Any outsiders of our nation are all held in the same manner. We Kill the Men in front of their Families, Ship the women off to Breeding Camps or to "Military Pleasurement". The Children are enslaved and forced to work in wealthy families. Boys do yard work, and manual labor, while the Girls learn their rightful place in the Kitchen... Or the Bed Room... I have a few Girls working in my household. The way they cry and work and scream~.... It's so Cute!~"

Bay'ah like other feudal pledges of allegiance isn't voluntary. You've twisted the jurisprudence to produce Americanist conclusions.
