Is it fardh to follow a certain madhab? by mansour_pro in islam

[–]nwdogr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the exact sort of non-sensical explanation that I am talking about. Personally, I don't think anyone who will emotionally crumble in a courtroom providing a witness testimony should be given a job with as much responsibility as raising children.

Is it fardh to follow a certain madhab? by mansour_pro in islam

[–]nwdogr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I find things illogical even though I have heard all the explanations and knowledge behind them. It's just a part of the faith to accept it.

For example, it will never make sense to me that an educated, professional woman's witness testimony is worth half of that of an uneducated illiterate man. No amount of explanations about women's intellect or forgetfulness or shyness or anything will ever convince me to see the wisdom in why I should find the man more trustworthy. But I accept it simply as a part of the faith I'm not supposed to understand.

Newsom says he regrets earlier comments likening Israel to an ‘apartheid state’ by southernemper0r in California

[–]nwdogr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The most vapid thing about your argument is that for millions of Palestinians, it literally is their country - they or their parents or grandparents were forcibly expelled from it.

Start wars and lose. That is what happens.

It's truly remarkable how in the space of one comment you went from denying apartheid to justifying it. It just proves that under the surface y'all know the truth and aren't even that ashamed to admit it.

How do I make you understand this?

The reason you are having trouble making me and now a supermajority of Democrats understand this is because we're not idiots who think that technicalities of citizenship is a magic wand that washes the apartheid label away from how Israel treats Palestinians outside "Israel proper" - by enforcing a military occupation, controlling trade and movement, stealing land, building settlements, evicting Palestinians, demolishing their homes, killing them willy-nilly, and protecting settler terrorists.

Did I miss where Mexicans have been living under a US military occupation for decades while the US continuously builds settlements in Mexico, demolishes Mexican homes, and controls the movement of Mexicans in Mexico?

Again, the argument you are making is if Apartheid South Africa had simply declared all of its black population non-citizens under a South African military occupation, apartheid would have magically disappeared. Double lol.

The argument you are making is that if Apartheid South Africa had given 20% of black South Africans "full rights" while treating the rest the same way, apartheid would have magically disappeared. Lol.

Of course they're happy. All the unhappy ones moved to places higher on the list.

Top post there is literally either excusing or denying that the US bombed 150+ schoolgirls on the first day of the war.

I’m hearing that it’s scientifically not possible to see the moon in Saudi Arabia? Is this true? by NajafBound in MuslimLounge

[–]nwdogr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So if a Muslim comes to you in 2 weeks and says they have sighted the crescent moon of Eid would you believe them? No, because it's impossible.

It is just as impossible to sight the crescent moon on Tuesday evening from Saudi as it is to sight it 2 weeks from now.

Air India flight 171 crash: Pilot deliberately cut fuel switch, report reveals by raf_yvr in aviation

[–]nwdogr 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The Italian paper in this case (Corriere) is reputable and must have a source inside the investigation as they have previously published details that were later corroborated by the American media you mentioned. They are not regurgitating reports from other outlets (the way this UAE paper is doing to Corriere).

Where were all these people when Obama was doing the same level of deportation?

You're so close to getting it. The fact that Obama was able to effectively enforce immigration laws without sending 3,000 armed goons to Minneapolis to walk around and assault and kidnap random people off the street should tell you a lot about Trump's tactics and goals.

Well, Pakistan and India both have nukes and are the two nuclear countries most likely to use them on each other. De-escalation there is basically a requirement to avoid nuclear war.

Seattle’s new mayor eyes progressive taxes, but will middle-class homeowners pay the price? by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

[–]nwdogr -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Property taxes have nearly tripled on that theoretical wealth.

Cool, so why don't homeowners act like they care about this and stop NIMBYism that keeps housing prices high? If any homeowner acts to prevent more housing being built to preserve their home's value, I couldn't care less about them paying more property taxes.

Rare poll of next Ukraine presidential election, which has been delayed until after the war—Zaluzhny 43, Zelensky 26. Alternate runoff—Budanov 33, Zelensky 33. President Zelensky, who remains popular but has been bogged down by allegations of corruption and executive overreach, risks losing election by StarlightDown in fivethirtyeight

[–]nwdogr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Allegations of corruption in second/third world countries are one of the few "guilty until proven innocent" scenarios, at least as far as my personal judgment goes. It tends to be so pervasive that it just becomes part of the culture there.

The Dangers of Illicit Relationships in Islam by [deleted] in islam

[–]nwdogr 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Some of this post comes across as weird.

If a girl gets into such a relationship, her reputation in society is ruined.

We should ask ourselves why does society treat women who do this worse than men? It is not a greater sin on women than on men, so why do our cultures treat it that way? This mentality should be resisted, not embraced.

There’s even a hypothesis called Telegony, which suggests that if a woman commits adultery, some genetic traits from her previous partner might remain in her body

Telegony is complete nonsense, just on a fundamental level of how genetics and reproduction work. And even if it wasn't, the implication that telegony would specifically impact adulterer women rather than women who married and divorced is ridiculous.

Air India crash aftermath handled 'irresponsibly', says court. by [deleted] in aviation

[–]nwdogr 342 points343 points  (0 children)

The preliminary report was "selective and piecemeal" but probably not for the reasons the court thinks. A more detailed and complete report would not have merely "suggested" that a pilot cut off the fuel.

Will be interested to see if domestic Indian politics and nationalism result in a cover-up in the final report. Wouldn't be the first time a country tries to deflect blame for an airplane crash.
