"Show me one story I posted which ain't true. I'll be waiting."
I have been over this with you so many times that I've lost count. I have never claimed that an article aint true. The authors are biased in most cases but the underlying details are usually accurate.
The ain't true part from my perspective is focused on what you claim to be doing vs what you actually go about doing. I have explained that in detail to you enough that I am sure you get it. I have pointed out that this amounts categorically to an unjustified attack on millions of innocent persons and I have substantiated that claim. You know that, and yet, you come back to this indefensible and fraudulent position that you are only posting articles.
But if you want me to take one story and use it as an example, I will. Your recent post is fairly exempliary. The story that reported on some jerks in some remote part of Pakistan who had gambled and encurred debt that became a serious enough of a problem that one of the men tried to get money for a girl, his daughter, to settle the debt. Even though that wouldn't be a criminal act in some parts of the world where human trafficing is common it would be criminal in the USA, and it was criminal in this region of Pakistan. Fortunately the Pakistani Police are on top of it which is why it made the news. There was nothing Islamic about the criminal activities they were involved in, and if they were raised to be Muslims, so what, they weren't behaving according to any good legal or moral standard Islamic or otherwise?
Good for the Pakistanis for getting off their fat asses for a change. Don't you wish every pimp in America could be proscecuted so we could stop the harm being done to thousands of girls here. I think we both do. It's not likely that such things will be irradicated completely, here or there, sadly.
It was an interesting article but what does it have to do with revealing the Truth about Islam, or all those Muslims wandering around the planet? Nothing. But lets look at how you hyped the issue...
"I thought gambling was prohibited by the koran.
You probably know for a fact that it is prohibited.
The good news from this event was:
"Police are seeking 10 men, including several tribal elders, accused of pressuring a Pakistani woman to hand over her teenage daughter as payment for a 16-year-old poker debt, officials said Tuesday."
and another positive comment from the report:
"In December, Musharraf signed into law a bill that makes it easier to prosecute rape cases in the courts, and the country's ruling party recently introduced a bill to outlaw forced marriages, including under tribal custom in which women are married off in order to settle disputes.
I can see why you spun some ridiculous conclusion that you claim has something to do with the truth about Islam, while in reality it was just another lame and childish excuse to bash the religion with no foundation. I can see why Darren, GZ and longnshort would get a kick out of you posting it.
There are major events, operations, and movements taking place in the world that are exposing corruption of the Islamic religion. Some of those are revealing positive changes taking place like this article did. Some are revealing how radical extremists are interpreting the religion of Islam to cause wanton destruction and terrorism. Tons of articles are being written about how we can effectively deal with that. Some are showing how Muslims have taken advantage of opportunities in Western society and are making that work for them, tens of millions in fact are doing that. Much of that positive blending of cultures is having major impacts in the countries of Islamic Heritage. That might even help to explain the positive changes Musharaf is pushing in Pakistan. ... That discussion could be very interesting, constructive, and productive in creating understanding and revealing the truth about our circumstance.
Your chortling comment amounts to nothing but another in a long line of bashes on Muslims. It had nothing to do with 'The Truth About Islam." Simply one more bigoted bash on your pile.
What 'aint true' is the agenda you claim vs what you promote on this thread. |
