Quote from: gats on January 30, 2017, 04:08:28 AM>Judging countries by pictures of the upper classesReally fires my neuronsI'm confused as to why you keep saying this. Yes, people in rural Iran were more religious and the women would cover up more and wear burkas, but the huge difference being that they weren't forced to.Was the Shah a puppet and "dictator"? Sure, but literacy rates in rural areas were growing fast and so was the quality of life. People could make money in Iran, now they can't.

I'm not even here to defend Islam I just get triggered that a bunch of people who know nothing about the region bar ChallengerX are using one event in the last 50 years to explain why the Middle East is so religious, it's always been religious.

Iran on the other hand is much bigger than Tehran, less than 10 stills is and will never representative of country. I'm not arguing that Islam isn't the result my point is that these people were religious even before the revolution.

It actually happens in Europe and USA. Remember the night club shooting? Remember why we have 'Draw Muh Madman' day? Je suis Charlie? Truck attacks? What civilized people would justify these sort of actions with some religious book? It is what keeps them in the dark ages because it calls the rest of the world infidels.
Either way, Iranians are becoming more secular and even atheism is on the rise. The mullahs' days are numbered.

Quote from: eggsalad on January 29, 2017, 06:32:14 PMDefine "critical of Islam". I'd say I'm critical of Islam but most anti-Muslim dialogues seem to just be more about how much they hate Muslims rather than how they can work to mitigate the ideology.Probably because we're called Nazis then...

Quote from: gats on January 30, 2017, 07:13:30 AMThanks to the same Mullahs no less who organised a country and government where wealth is invested a lot more proportionately and enabled scientific study to flourish.Dude are you serious? They don't even allow women to study alongside men. Everybody's fleeing Iran because it's becoming so impoverished. All they care about is getting nukes, they don't care about the sanctions that are destroying the Iranian economy.

Heck I bet he would even let his GF walk home alone if they ever went on holidays to the middle east. He would also let her wear a skirt and show as much skin as she wants while he drinks beer on the street during Ramadan. Maybe try to sell some Mohamed street art at a local market there too, see how that goes in the prosperous and tolerant Islam world. Don't forget to also tell everyone that you are Jewish - that helps.That would be a cool social experiment.

when your boners start failing like Charlie
And yet you made it sound like stoning is just a myth along with death penalty for leaving Islam.
It's actually pretty sad, the disgusting state of the Arab world today is largely the fault of the Zionists.

Why do so many liberals defend Islam to death?
