In reply to the discussion: ISIS executes 19 women in Mosul 'for refusing to take part in sexual jihad' [View all]Bill USA
(6,436 posts)62. they do believe it's okay for the Government to obtrude itself into decisions that should be made by
a woman in consultation with her doctor. In this 21st Century Society, that seems fairly Midieval and smacks of a theocratic state.
I think if someone makes a comparitive statement saying some group is 'like' another, it does not mean that he is saying the one group is identical to the other. This does not mean, TP-GOPers must all grow beards and cut off heretics heads for the comparitive statement to be meaningful. WE are all, I believe, beyond the age of 3 or 4 years and therefore should be beyond a simple, literal interpretation of words spoken.
When you hear somebody say: "Man that guy is a bastard."
You wouldn't say (if knowledgeable of the facts pertaining), "Well, I happen to know his mother was married when she gave birth to him. I don't know why you would say such a thing!"
