I love being right.

My the snark does fly... I think this thread will be much more comfy in the DT.

1. The text equates the Wahhabi sect and Salafism .. they are TOTALLY different things. Salafism is a movement among certain Muslim intellectuals that favored a return to pristine Islamic practice and rapprochement with the West. Totally different from Wahhabism.[/quote]
What part of the text does this? In "the Wahhabi and Salafi influence" the [b]and[/b] is not an [b]or[/b]. In any event, your comment is irrelevant to the purpose of the article. The article is publicizing the atrocities that many Muslim women endure under Islam.

2. The article says the women look like monsters. THEY DO NOT LOOK LIKE MONSTERS. they look like survivors. That is beautiful.

This is all you have to say?

I see nothing in this post that would justify giving it a negative point.

She NEVER said that what the men did to these women was beautiful, and you know it. She said the women were beautiful, and they are. I don't think she was glossing over the horror of it at all. To insinuate that she is of the opinion that it's not a big deal is totally off base.
[/quote]
I know what she said.

My point was that after reading the article and seeing the pictures, all she could do was nit-pick the article, with nary a word about the atrocity being discussed nor the culture which tolerates it.
I don't think she approves of those brutal and cowardly acts, but her choice of what to comment on showed a curious set of priorities.
It isn't so much what she said as what she [i]didn't[/i] say.

Maybe I misread that post, but there seems to be a general pattern that when things are posted here regarding Islamic barbarism, people are quick to try to change the subject to criticizing something else other than Islamic society and practices (usually some more pc target).

This is another post that did not deserve a negative point.

I believe that the point system ultimately reflects emotion and not logic. \\//,

If I had any points to give out I would clear all the negative points given to Socrates and HisChildForever in this thread. None of their negative points are deserved.

Yes. That is probably why I got a negative point a few minutes ago for pointing out the problem in this thread.

Often times the negative points strike me as nasty faces made virtually, it manifests base primate behavior and little more.

Care to contribute to the thread on topic?

No, I prefer to comment on the idiocracy of others. Thanks for asking, though.

Come on Fidei, was this post really necessary? Or even polite?

No and no. Was HisChildForever's post "I love being right" necessary?

You are so nice.

If someone wanted to give us negative points, okay - just please contribute something interesting to the thread. Otherwise, why waste your time?

That post had nothing to do with you, but to the person foolishly giving out negative points like they were candy.

Doesn't matter. Still prideful and unnecessary. God is displeased.

I was being sincere. I want there to be dialogue in this thread.

I took that post as an extension of her response to your comment about her being clever.

Whatever. The hypocrisy here is suffocating me. Thank God that I don't have …. a god to smite me.

HisChildForever has posted a couple of times asking that people stick to the topic of the thread. So what exactly does this have to do with the topic in question?
