In reply to the discussion: After 10 years of trying, a Palestinian woman had twins. An Israeli strike killed them both [View all]Voltaire2
(13,257 posts)9. well it obviously is, but that even more so 'others' Palestinians into the subhuman category..
At this point my only objective with continuing to discuss this here is to try to get people to see how a genocide in progress can be justified. I'll concede some points in order to try to use an accepted perspective, for example that the slaughter is not specifically intentional, to discuss the implications of that viewpoint. How is the ongoing and obvious 'unintentional' slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinians acceptable?

" Clearly there is no law in Islam against" is very clear. And a generalization about Muslims.

If you are trying to say the Islamic law's treatment of women is decent or justified,

I was pointing out the post that claimed it supports rape, generalizing about Muslims.

Yes, you did say that Islam "allows rape" rather than "supports" rape. I hope you will reconsider this generalization.

"It" is Islam. "A little bit" of rape is rape. It is a sweeping generalization of the religion of Islam.

"It allows rape just a little bit" is your conclusion and assertion, not a quote. It was about the religion of Islam.

If I were you, I wouldn't presume to speak for Islam. It was a reply to your rather uninformed post, for gawds sake!

I wasn't referring to the twins - I'm comparing the treatment of "others" as sub-humans

Extremist muslims see non-muslims as infidels, and therefore, less than human.

The point -- the rapes happened, and if they truly were religious men -- any religion -- how could this be?

This story is about a woman and her two daughters. I see nothing wrong with the posting the story.

I did edit my post (like one second after posting) because I realized it could be taken wrong.
