Once and For All, Bill Maher IS NOT the Titular Head of a Major Political Party like Limbaugh Is

83. No, darling, you're looking away from the real issue in order to appear PC...

... and then get angry when others, who are more realistic, don't fall for it.

What I summed up in my post, is the rule in countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Saudi-Arabia. The rule; not the exception. Jail time for converting to Christianity is law in Afghanistan. Under Taliban rule, music, tv and other forms of entertainment were forbidden; girls coun't go to school; women had to wear burquas; men had to grow beards or else they would be punished. The death penalty by public hanging is the law in Iran. No permission to drive a car for women is the law in Saudi-Arabia. Stoning a rape victim to death because four male witnesses say she actually committed adultery is the rule in Pakistan. In Somalia, little girls are being wed to 60 year olds, after having cut up their genitals, of course.

Of course, you think you cannot point out those very real issues, afraid of being called 'un-liberal'. Me, I don't see what's liberal about a culture that promotes bigotry, oppresion and violence against gays and women. And like I said: it's not "a few" who do this. If only it were "a few", it wouldn't be such widespread problems. But it's entire populations which follow these rules; who approve of them. They're not 21st century cultures. Literally. Afghanistan and Pakistan are tribal cultures. Look at their infrastructure, their political and judicial institutions, their illiteracy rates. They're Medieval. Pointing out that this is true is not racist. It's realistuc.

Where in the West can you point to similar things happening with Christians? Sure, we have very vile, very dangerous people among them, but anything near the horrific things I described above? Today we learn about a dozen teenagers were stoned to death in Iraq because they were behaving like "emo's". You're telling me something like that could happen in a conservative Christian community in the West? Please...
