Regimes which do not accord basic rights to all citizens, including women should simply be ignored until such time as they do, no matter how much oil they have.

- lazide 1y agoThe difference is, Islam isn’t out of the fight yet. Even 200 years ago, this would be (and was!) a very different discussion around Christianity, eh?
- StopDisinfo910 1y agoIslamic teachings/belief tell you approximately as much as catholics teachings/belief which is to say next to nothing. The Islamic world in as much as it exists as entity is not homogeneous in its belief and practices. It’s a collection of countries and groups and they don’t all agree.
- lazide 1y agoLike the Holy Ghost/Spirit to Catholics? I never said it was homogenous, I’m pointing out core beliefs that - while modified in a few places - are definitional for the religion, and are fundamentally at odds with other perspectives. This isn’t hypothetical, this is a lived experience for a billion+ people.
- conception 1y agoThat’s true for all Abrahamic religions though. People can and have just ignored the parts that don’t fit in with modern society.
