I don't necessarily agree with that stuff but calling us cancer for things like that seems a bit harsh to me. Like I said Orthodox Jews have similar norms but I rarely see anyone that bothered by their doing virtually the same thing.I'm having a beer or two so don't mind if my replies get shorter and less in depth. I mostly skimmed your reply so this won't be an in depth response.
You know my social politics, right? I'm liberal if not affiliated with the current left.
Example of conservative cancer:
- My nieces best friend having to hide their friendship from his (Ahmed) parents until she got married. Why? Because they'd forbid him seeing her.
- My buddy Arbin being pressured to cover his wife up.
- My customer Ina catching shit from the Arab side of her family for working with an infidel without a male family member being present.
Not sure why you can't answer the relatively simple questions I ask. If a Muslim dude called Judaism cancer, would you give him the benefit of the doubt or assume he's antisemitic? When you say the cancer of Islam spreads, what are you referring to? The texts, sites of worship, or the adherents?Cancer spreads, right? Yes, mine was a crass analogy yet not one without merit. If anything Jews discourage, or at least make it hard to convert. So that would be off the mark. Israel on the other hand is clearly an expansionist country so I'd agree with that.
Oh man, what a weak sauce reply. Being denied service and employment isn't merely a pain in the ass and that's the kind of thing Muslims have to deal with because of the kind of secularism you support which reins in places like France. And it wasn't random strangers who were critical of my beard and other habits, it was my family and friends most of all. Lots of pressure to get rid of the beard as well as other religious habits I tried to form. But please continue to tell me what its like to be Muslim.The rest of your reply? Sure there's outside pressure, but let's not compare the threat of being ostracized from family to strangers giving shit which has no real effect on your life other than being a pain in the ass.
