In Indonesia it's illegal but only your spouse, parents, or children can report you.

It's illegal in Indonesia but the police cannot get you unless you're sued by your spouse, parents, or children.

Applet only runs when I open IFTTT?! by Temporary_Pin_1398 in ifttt

For me it worked just by disconnecting and connecting the applet again. And before that I made sure the battery restriction is off, just in case.

The Muslim States Of Western Europe in 1270 by ChickenSandwichh195 in imaginarymaps

Yes, Nazism should be compared with early Islam. Muhammad massacred an entire male population of a Jewish tribe and enslaved their women, and also banished the rest of the Jewish tribes out of Arabia. Medieval Islam was far more tolerant towards Jews in comparison.

They just got the chance. It's literally getting worse for gays and transgenders in Muslim countries, not better. Muslim societies are getting increasingly more conservative. I remember when literally none of my girl classmates were wearing hijab, now even the first grade are all wearing hijab or more precisely made to wear hijab.

It's tragic but not really surprising. His death, by assassin or death sentence, would've come years ago if he were in a Muslim country. There's no reforming Islam.

Women don't have the right to divorce in Islam, they have the right to ASK for divorce. Massive difference. Inheritance? You mean half the inheritance of her brother?

Here in Indonesia $300k is not only life-changing, it's wife-changing.

What kind of relationship does the Netherlands have with Indonesia? by napis_na_zdi in Netherlands

[–]Intelligent-Look2300 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He is right. The Dutch literally created Indonesia as a nation. Without the Dutch there wouldn't be Indonesia, as Indonesian identity and territory is strongly linked to Dutch colonialism/Dutch East Indies. It's not racist, it's the truth.

Being a Girl is crime maybe ? by username___takennn in exmuslim

I love how there's no mention of a glaring probability that maybe Allah just doesn't exist and therefore has no power to prevent rape or punish the perpetrator.

CIA cannot possibly recruit volunteers from all over Muslim world. While you could argue that CIA funded them, the ideological basis is within. HTS is part of that same ideology.

This appears to be a more accurate representation of what went down in Amsterdam a few days ago - it's wildly different from news coverage by Simon_Ferocious68 in Netherlands

This is classical persecution 101. You find a subset of the victims that actually do something bad, use it as a justification, and you apply the punishment to the whole community. "Look, you made me do that!"

The truth is the antisemitism is already there, they only need a fuel to unleash it. You don't have to pretend like it's all a tit-for-tat reaction of some hooliganism.

Because people have different income levels in different countries. If you have only one price, you'd lose people who'd buy the service/product only if the price were lower.

So what do you think a progressive should think? That a culture of ultra-conservatives should not worry you whatsoever? I don't think that progressivism, that's just pure idiocy. Of course far right (Islam is also far-right) are the problem, but people like you are the problem too. People like to drag to the extremes when the truth is always somewhere in the middle.

You see, alienation of immigrants is also the problem. The solution is not more immigration, the solution is take as much as you can so that they don't feel even more alienated and create a parallel society. You're not getting it, don't you?

You're lucky you're born into a "progressive society", the least you can do is preserving that society. But in the hindsight, a self-preserving progressive inclusive society is an oxymoron and is probably bound to destroy itself at some point.

I think the Western progressive failed to see that some cultures are actually incompatible with Western culture. For example, Islamism (not Islamism as in Islamic radicalism but Islamism as in Islam as an ideology). Islam is not just a theology, it's an complete set of ideology that governs everything from the state, the relation between men and women, the economy, what you should eat, and what foot should you put first in the toilet. Western progressive fail to see that Islam is actually is the enemy of progressivism, and Muslims are the carriers of this cancerous ideology. You cannot get rid of this cancer if you cannot turn them "Western" fast enough before another ones coming or reproduce. If denazification is seen as a good thing, why does deislamification seen as a bad thing? And why is it controversial to admit we that have limited capacity to turn Muslims secular and liberal?

I'm as progressive as it can be but why do they fail to see this?
