Your argument is absurd for several reasons. The most obvious one is that atrocities committed in the name of Islam happen all over the world with regularity in any geographic location where there is a high concentration of Muslims. Outside of naming "burning witches" in an extremely important and densely populated country like Guatemala can you point to any more compelling examples that matter even slightly, or that can be compared to what takes place in the name of Islam?
Is there some sort of Christian terrorist network I'm not aware of that has global followers where the leader sends out decrees to "burn witches" in the name of Jesus whereever they are found?
I dont even know if your aware of how lame and amateurish your argument is.
Ummm... I'll take the Catholic church for $400 Alex.
I think Sarah Palin recently got a blessing by an pastor famous for hunting down and rooting out witches in Africa.
Christians have been known to burn women as witches both in Europe & America. And to torture and kill people for making the sign of the cross incorrectly. Yah so it was hundreds of years ago. the point is, Islam like Christianity will eventually change given enough time. I suspect the transition might occur sooner for islam than it did for Christianity.
Furthermore, if you listen closely to what the cleric said, he said it was risky for women because a broken hymen could result is accusations of fornication, and some people might go outside of religious law and kill her. He didn't say she deserved to die, but that those who would kill her would be outside of religious law. in other words, killing a woman to restore honour is not part of islamic law.
it's in my opinion the equivalent of saying it is risky behaviour to leave your car unlocked in a crime infested neighbourhood because there are those who might decide to break into to it and steal it. does that mean you deserve to get your car stolen? no, it means there are those who would break the law and to leave your car there is engaging in risky behaviour.
Islam has no monopoly on judgemental moralists. Even yesterday McWay was arguing about how a woman should be fired from her teaching position because she was a fornicator who had sex with her fiancé prior to marrying him.
How about we take all the archaic judgemental sexual moralists... Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc, and stick them in a little village somewhere away from civilization, ...and let them abstain from sex until they die off.
