This is about a leak from a dating app for Muslims. So it doesn't make sense for me to write about the risks that someone in Hawaii or Germany might face after a similar leak. And sorry, but there are many types of sexual acts that are criminalised in Muslim countries. Not just adultery which is punishable by death in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, Jemen, Qatar (and I'm sure there are many more) but also homosexuality where also the death penalty is applied in 11 Muslim countries. You can't brush that away by pointing to discrimination. Compared to the West these societies have in some areas truly horrific laws. Yes this is not true for all Muslim countries (Turkey, Bosnia and Indonesia comes to mind), but it is most of them. And where there is no death penalty, we often see honor killings which are not persecuted by their governments. (Pakistan) If no one speaks up about this then these societies will continue like this forever. I don't mean to hurt normal people in Muslim countries that just go about a normal life, but I also wont say everything is fine when it clearly isn't. And who could I hurt with this except for radicals or people unknowingly following or being played by radicals? There's also many things that are wrong in our societies, but one thing is for sure: You wont see US or EU citizens burn embassies to the ground or declaring Fatwas because someone criticised our society or culture.

> You can't brush that away by pointing to discrimination. I don't, I point to very poor reasoning and analysis. I challenge you to answer my questions above instead of posting more insubstantial analysis. I do point to discrimination where I see it; as you say: > If no one speaks up about this then these societies will continue like this forever But if one spreads ignorance, it persists forever, with great harm to the victims. So we must be careful to do the right thing. Let's look in the mirror first, and point out our own problems; we are just as flawed and human. ---- And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
