In reply to the discussion: After 10 years of trying, a Palestinian woman had twins. An Israeli strike killed them both [View all]Earth-shine
(4,044 posts)29. The point -- the rapes happened, and if they truly were religious men -- any religion -- how could this be?
The poster asks a question about religion, but the answer is in the realm of politics and angered human nature.
You know, most of the time you make intelligent posts. You are a strong voice here for the Palestinian side.
Today, you are making a fool of yourself. "Not no" does not mean "yes."

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

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.

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.

I suggest you to make a post on this, to provide a negative example of bigotry.
