(62,536 posts)This is about questioning their merits on actions which we'd support, such as stopping raids.
Your links are quaint, though, for instance, the rent ban? Oh golly gee 57% wouldn't be bothered by having an Arab neighbor and there was a protest against the Rabi's ruling. The no-mixing propaganda campaign, likewise, was cancelled.
Yet we know for a damn fucking fact that in other parts of the Arab world that anyone not practicing a given variant of Islam can be executed (far be it to be fucking rented to), and we know for a damn fact that in parts of the Arab world people are regularly stoned for "marrying out of their tribe." So, that falls on deaf ears, really, since you exaggerate the extent to which it happens.
But, I've fallen for your pathetic trap. I wasn't making the comparison, you were.
I was only saying that their views on social issues could indicate where they could stand on other issues. What you want me to believe is that 1) their racist tendencies matter 2) their LGBT tendencies don't.
