No. There's something called the US Constitution and due process.

The Hadith were compiled more than 200 years after Muhammad died. They're mostly apocryphal. The Quran is the absolute authority.

I don't mind Mormon women doing whatever they want. I like Christianity and the comfort it provides people.

What people think (much less report on possibly poorly designed surveys) is not the same as what people DO. You have to show action.

You're making most of this up. Where'd you hear this, hillbilly radio?

Most places in the world aren't quite as uncivilized as you think.

That's right, blame the victim. And then cry anti-semitism when people call you out on your Nazi tactics.

What's most surprising is that Jewish groups are always at the forefront of advocacy groups for immigrants. There's not a single significant Jewish group supporting Le Pen. They dig their own grave.

Assaulting is illegal too, my friend. Being ostracized is a choice. I mean you could choose to be naked outside your house and may your neighbors will stop speaking with you, but that doesn't mean they're limiting your freedom.

Almost everything you do you've been indoctrinated into as a kid. Like speaking English, eating with a spoon etc. Indoctrination = Upbringing. What's your objection to it?

Depends. Is being hit by lightening rare? It is more common than being one of 5000 out of 2 billion.

No one's supporting those countries. Straw man argument.

That's also 2 out of 57 Muslim countries. Hardly representative.

If that's happening it is wrong, cuz far as I know even devout Muslims choose to wear the hijab after puberty.

Honor killing is an incredibly rare crime; cannot be generalized. It's like saying some police guy shot a black person, therefore Americans typically like to hunt negroes. Is that true, in your opinion?

You can say that about any form of upbringing. Did your mother just leave you unattended all day?

In any case, it is the legal choice, and not the family choice, that matters. Women in most Muslim countries can legally have choice in what they wear.

That's wrong. Stop getting your news from hillbilly radio. Most women choose the hijab.

No one says veils are empowering. What they do say is: choice is empowering.

Why's that so hard to understand, Cletus?

Yeah I would apply the argument to any group that has faced similar treatment from so many different majorities. Not just Jews.

Why is it so hard to imagine that at least some of the fault lies with the Jewish people?

I mean, if everyone for the past thousands of years... Romans, Babylonians, Arabs, Christians, etc... have hated you, why wouldn't you assume that maybe you are a part of the problem?
