      I think there are cultural differences that we ought to tolerate and be mindful of our biases on (how you prepare food, the clothes you wear, difference in manners, accents, language, etc.) and there are things which are universal evils (murdering children for not marrying).

      It is unfair to ascribe the latter to all people belonging to a particular culture (the “you people” comment), since “universal” evil goes both ways - all people should consider it evil, but it is not unique to a particular people. A strange duality. Reminds me of the dad who “accidentally” shot and killed his daughter in Texas after an argument about Trump and was never investigated.

        They said “same monsters” though so they’re specifically talking about the people who committed the murder not any larger group of people.

        Except somehow Muslim cultures are very tolerant of these evil acts. Makes you wonder maybe there is something in the culture that allows it and there absolutely is.

        Primarily Islam is a prison religion and by that I mean that Quaran is a literal guide that is not up for interpretation like other cultural thought leads. The Bible is interpreted, the teachings of Karl Marx are interpreted, the Austrian school of economics is interpreted - this gives people an opportunity to self correct. Whila Islam is literal - there’s no space for justice.

        Islam will never be as flexible and just as other cultural leads, period.

        You do realize that race and behavior are not intrinsically linked, right? Murdering and raping children are evil no matter who the hell does it.

        We’re all against white washing racism, but murdering women just because they refuse to be force marriage their cousins is wrong no mater what culture you speak of.

            Yeah that’s what we mean, no matter what murder is murder and mistreatment of women is mistreatment of women, no matter how you spin it via culture or religion. It’s fucked up

          You’re clearly not against racism enough. The comment I posted was not about the incident, but how a basement dweller used this atrocity to justify his own prejudice against a group of people.

            I’m a man. I’ve had sex with another man. I’m also married to someone with a vagina, while I have two additional girlfriends, one of which has a vagina and one has a penis. My married partner is also in a relationship with a woman and a man, both of which have a vagina.

            I hope to your own God this information upsets the fuck out of you and you think about this for at least a week.
