    Now I encourage you to check my comment history, cause I’m not that lemming, but I feel compelled to say… do you think they’d allow it if they could kick the shit outta women?

    To reiterate. Fuck the Taliban.

    What if we replaced the opponents with child-brides?

    They’ve already been training for decades!

        Other person.

        I think there are stories in the Quran or the other important texts (Hadid?) about their prophet marrying a 9yo. Although I’ve witnessed controversy around her exact age amongst people in /r/DebateReligion. Like some said it wasn’t too bad, she was almost 14 or so.

        Now your turn, what do you think? And why did you want them not to google?

            Not other person

            Child brides are an abomination.

            Point. Blank. Period.

            That’s what I think.

            Alright, thanks! I think I understand where you’re coming from, and can relate. I’m an ex-Christian, although I guess for ex-Muslims this process is a whole other beast.

            And yes, I know exactly what you mean about culture and critique - as an leftwing, anti-theist leaning atheist, I often have to cringe about my peers. It feels like false romanticizing, like we did with native americans, or other falsly understood cultures. So many things which I despise in fascism are also present in strict Christianity and strict Islam. Although luckily, very few people take their religion seriously here. So our religious nutjobs are a fringe minority and can mostly be ignored.

            Refugees welcome, but I hate it when they try to establish religio-fascist areas here, spewing hate and all their nonsense, occasionally killing someone. I mean, if you want to live like that, go back. If you like our way, be welcome.

            Yeah, a sensitive topic which can easily trigger people. I try not to care about the boxes they try to put me in. And I absolutely love the freedom of speech we have here. I don’t want that be ruined by migrants who think they speak for Allah, nor by leftists who think every minority shares their values. Like I was one of them. In my youth, with coloured hair and ragged clothes, I was regularly beaten up by (almost exclusively) migrants. Created quite some cognitive dissonance, some effort to justify their deeds, like worse socioeconomic status blabla. Truth is, many people are quite “conservative”, naturally more so in less liberal countries of origin. And still, I vote and speak for open borders. Our society must find better ways than building walls. This issue is challenging European core values, with at least two ways to erode the values; we can lose them by allowing hostile subcultures to grow, or we can lose them by closing us off to the outside.

            Good lord, 6 years. Poor Aisha. I guess my brain was happy to forget that detail.

            So thanks again for this exchange. Stay safe.

          You’re just talking to a bigot and it’s kinda pointless to try and engage with people like this because they don’t care about discussing, they’re just pushing an agenda.

        The stories are that they fuck little boys. People in the US military would complain to their commanding officers about Afghan army personnel engaging in this fucked up shit with young boys (there is an Arab word for it that I’m not going to look up right now. Anyone can take 3 seconds to verify what I’m saying right now), and the higher ups told them to ignore it and that there was nothing they could do.

        I believe there may even have been some cases of US Marines taking matters into their own hands, but I might be thinking of a movie there lol

        Before anyone calls me a racist or something, I’m just repeating what I read in news reports at the time.

      Yeah no. Fascism no matter und what guise is the problem. And MMA is awesome that’s why people enjoy it.

          I don’t know why you put holy in quotation marks, it is absolutely holy for Muslims so that’s just a fact.

          And yes I have read a decent bit of the Quran. Unlike you I understand that there’s a level of complexity in such texts that only scholars can grasp who have both deep knowledge of the Arabic language and knowledge about the historic context of different passages.

          I’m 100% sure that neither you nor me are capable of truly understanding the Quran so I don’t know what exactly you’re trying to tell us.

              Instead of wondering who or what I am you should ask yourself why you’re so obsessed with one particular religion to a point that you’re doing all sorts of mental gymnastics and spreading misinformation in order to justify your bigoted world view.
