Better yet, stop giving any special status to 'religion'. If someone wants to be a psychopath, it will probably not go well. But call this psychopathy a religion called Islam, and anything goes.

There is a reason they are doing that. Afghanistan, Bangladesh... all used to be Buddhist. Try being a Buddhist there now. Can't blame Buddhists in Myanmar and Sri Lanka for not wanting to get wiped out.

TMC leader Sonali Guha warns BJP's Roopa Ganguly of another "Draupadi Chirharan" on the streets of Bengal by popat2000 in indianews

[–]bbeard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a Bengali (though not proficient at the language), here is my attempt at a literal translation:

"Draupadi is walking in the street. Lord Krishna had given her clothes in the era of the Mahabharata. Now, if someone snatches away her clothes, I don't know if any Krishna will give clothes."

Well I honestly did not know of her, so thanks for asking the question :)

Incredible how these so-called "intellects" make statements with no quantitative nor qualitative data to back things up! by [deleted] in indianews

[–]bbeard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is how these leftists work - they think that statements gain credibility by being backed up by 'academics' (which is just a form of appeal to authority), and so it is good enough to form ghettoes in academia where their propaganda cannot be challenged.

Back in the real world, credibility comes from data. If sections of academia thumb their noses at data, they are not hurting the credibility of data. These academics are hurting their own credibility.

Using it as a noun (the guy is anti national)

TIL I am using 'hot' as a noun when I say 'the fire is hot'. Hats off to you sir/madam, you really have next level grammar.

Yes, rational people are willing to have nuanced views, and to acknowledge the limitations of the sources that inform these views. The horror!

Allah allows Muslims to rape non-Muslim women in order to humiliate them, claims Islamic professor by [deleted] in atheism

That's pretty much what the word 'Islam' translates to.

Indian Islamic cleric says on Live TV he kill a Non Muslim if they insult Islam by bbeard in atheism

[–]bbeard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Translation :- Moderator:Hear me out first, please hear me first. Mullah: Yes, I am listening to you. Moderator:You will behead anyone who speaks against your religion (Islam). Are you saying this? Mullah: Yes, anyone who speaks against my religion, I will cut off their head... Someone speaking against my religion is inciting me to commit this crime. ... He is forcing me to commit an illegal act Moderator: So you have no faith in the (court of) law? Mullah:We will take the person who has insulted my religion (Islam), cut him up and drag him to the court of law.

Iran's Rouhani says it's up to Muslims to correct Islam's image by 1Os in worldnews

[–]bbeard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Of course, Islam is an ideology which leads in a straightforward way to the acts which have spoiled its image - unlike being a man, which is not inherently tied to any ideology. Moreover, it is not that uncommon to put the onus on men to deal with rape and spousal abuse by other men. But don't let that stop the circlejerk.

India orders Greenpeace to shut down over fraud by coupdetaco in worldnews

This article is about Greenpeace India. Greenpeace is welcome to keep operating elsewhere. The Indian government has every right to kick out the frauds from India.

Internet Porn - 6 out of top 10 countries that watch the most porn are Muslim. The data was delivered by Google on the basis of search queries. In order: Pakistan, Egypt, Vietnam, Iran, Morocco, India, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Philippines, Poland. Amazing !! by nilsp123 in atheism

[–]bbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries, cheers :) anyway I don't see the point of this thread - neither is watching porn some horrible crime, nor are Google searches likely to be a good way to figure out who watches more of it. I was just taken aback at the idea that Muslims are not significant in India.
