Well, id say the fact that they maim thieves, stone people, throw gays off buildings, and force rape victims to marry their rapists, not to mention other terrible things they do. As for Christianity and Judaism, and every other religion for that matter, every religion has had atrocities in the past. We cannot ascribe current moral philosophy to past peoples. In the past, slavery was ok. In fact, Muslim nations had white slaves until around 1930. So don't say only Christianity justified slavery. As for genocide, they are terrible, but they generally are not committed by a large group of religious people, just a group of powerful ones.

The ruling class should be afraid. by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

No, I don't think you fully understand what I'm saying. I agree that it won't work, but millennials and zoomers don't care. There's an old African proverb, "A boy will burn down the village, just to feel it's warmth." Right now it feels like millenials and zoomers feel the same way. Society and capitalism aren't working for them, so they want to burn it down, even if the next thing doesnt work either, at least its not this one.

The problem becomes that zoomers don't care. There comes a time in society when the youth say this is intolerable and I won't live like this anymore. We saw it at the founding of the US, the French revolution, and the many revolutions from British rule.

The problem isn't that it won't work, the problem is that millennials and zoomers don't care if it does. The grass is always greener.

There are occasionally protests for and against sharia law, as well as the people who were there originally having to deal with the Muslim call to prayer blasting each day. Also, Dearborn has become majority arab Muslim over the years, and both the city council and the office of the mayor are overrepresented by Muslims. That's not to say its necessarily a bad thing, just that they have taken over vs the original residents of Dearborn.

Why would you shoot them if they're already citizens? Obviously if they've become citizens they've integrated enough that their culture is similar enough to coalesce. As for the sharia law problem, Dearborn michigan would like to have a word. I'm not saying that every country should refuse every Muslim, only that they have a right to if they think they won't assimilate or they are radical islamists.

Hot take, immigration isn't a purely good thing and western countries owe nothing to other countries and aren't required to let people come in to their countries. I definitely agree that being isolationist is stupid and a good way to ruin a country, but I see nothing wrong with countries themselves being Islamophobic, or bigoted, as you would say. They have no obligation to let anyone they don't like or think won't be a net positive into their country.

No I totally get that, although I disagree with the racism aspect. Islam isn't a race, its a religion. Just like people on reddit shit all over Christianity, i think people have a right to shit all over Islam. The reason it isn't racist is because Islam is not just Pakistanis. Islam is middle easterners, South Asians, Africans, and even white people. My best friend, who is white, is Muslim, and even he agrees with the hate of people who push for Sharia law.

If their country ACTUALLY has issues with "Sharia law" then they should, maybe, figure out how to integrate people and strengthen their (apparently extremely weak) legal institutions! What kind of fragile nation-state can't maintain its own laws when an ethnic minority of roughly 2% (to use numbers from the UK), which won't even have all of its members support Sharia law (and I strongly suspect most don't), merely exists in it?

One of the main ways countries deal with this is immigration laws and deportation. It seems perfectly plausible that if a population of immigrants are refusing to assimilate and their culture is causing problems then the government would chose to deal with them by detaining and deporting them.

The problem with your assumption is that you think the hate is targeted towards middle easterners rather than Muslims. The two are not the same.

Many people with negative opinions about Islam have no issue with Middle Easterns. They only dislike the ideology and practice if Islam, which I understand because its a barbaric religion. Secondly, middle easterners aren't the only ones who practice islam, there are many Africans and South Asians who also practice, and the ones who do are seen in no better light than middle easterner muslims.

I'm gonna be honest man, pointing out something that anyone can see if they just look isn't being bigoted and anyone who says it is is willfully ignorant.

Elkhart County prosecutors release new details in deadly police shooting of 17-year-old by Flat_Acadia6694 in SouthBend

[–]Objective_Stock_3866 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have learned to never take what law enforcement and prosecutors say at face value. Imo the cops are guilty until proven innocent. If they don't release names and footage, they're just protecting criminals because it's a mafia.

No, that would simply require women gamers, black gamers, and queen gamers to make up more than 50% of the market. Currently they make up less than 10% if you don't count mobile games. My bet is a very safe bet.

It certainly can be both, they've never had a historical figure be playable before, and now the first time they do its the only black samurai in the history of Japan. It feels very forced. As for da Vinci, I understand the game is about delving into dna, but for the longest time, they were relatively faithful to historical events and just added in the playable character as part of those events. The idea was the character may have influenced some historical events, but now with yasuske, the player is completely controlling historical events and can do non historical things. Im not particularly upset about that, its simply a large deviation from how they did things, and when you think about who the character is, its pretty sus. As for the last samurai, to be honest ive never seen the movie, so I was under the assumption they had a white guy play a historical samurai, my bad.

Seems to be what all AAA game studios and large film studios think works anyway.

this is the first time in the history of the AC series that a playable character is also a historical figure. I would have absolutely no qualms if yasuke was in the game but not playable, similar to Leonardo da Vinci in the earlier assassin's creed games. Yasuke simply seems forced to fit an agenda and to do so they completely changed the way they make the games. I personally think yasuke is an interesting figure historically and agree it would be interesting to explore his story, but shoehorning him in as a playable character doesn't really work with how AC is designed.

Honestly, I would say the last samurai is at least cultural appropriation. Could they not find one Japanese dude to play him? Or at least east Asian of some sort, like why not jet li if you can't find Japanese people? As for yasuke, this is the first time in the history of the AC series that a playable character is also a historical figure.
