What are you even talking about? India has a majority Hindu population. I’m not saying that majority Muslim countries don’t have deep-rooted problems with misogyny and violence. I’m just saying you’re ignorant if you think this is SOLELY a problem in Muslim countries.

I never said anything about Orlando, please don’t put words in my mouth. You don’t think it’s weird to solely pinpoint Islam for radicalizing a man who was by all accounts already violent & unstable? It’s called using your critical thinking skills.

Funny, from the same Wikipedia (lol) page:

“The incidence of honor killings is very difficult to determine and estimates vary widely. In most countries data on honor killings is not collected systematically, and many of these killings are reported by the families assuicides or accidents and registered as such.^[13][14][…

Honor killings are absolutely a problem in Pakistan. My frustration with articles about these is that the bigots and xenophobes always come out in droves. You know what the reaction in Pakistan over this killing is? Outrage, horror, and condemnation. All these posters talking shit about Islam and Pakistan (not…

You don’t have to be condescending with me. There are obviously people radicalized by a certain version of Islam, I’m not denying that. You just cannot state that this was the case here, definitely, not yet - the link you’ve posted even says “While Cazeneuve said no evidence had yet been found to tie Bouhlel to…

What were you hoping to accomplish with this comment?

Look, I’m not burying my head in the sand. Clearly there is a strain of Islam that is wreaking havoc on the world. Clearly a lot of work needs to be done. But YOU are certainly burying your head in the sand. You can’t cry “evil Muslim terrorist” about the guy in Nice - he was not Muslim at all! He never went to the…

Yes. Please provide research/statistics to prove this claim that it happens more amongst Muslims, otherwise you are just spouting ignorance and I see no further reason to have any sort of discussion with you.

Please provide stats to back up your claim that “most honor killings occur in Muslim majority countries,” because otherwise you are spreading patently false and toxic information based on stereotypes.

You’re really ignorant. The attacker in Nice had no affiliation with any mosque and was not really a practicing Muslim - to call him Muslim just because his name was “Muhammad” is to treat every “Christopher” as an ambassador of Christianity. Also, honor killings ARE indeed carried out by other religions, so stop…

Hi. South Asian Muslim here. There is no Islamic basis for so-called honor killings - they are rooted in a culture of misogyny. You should also be careful about speaking ignorantly, because Islam’s history is actually filled with empowered, independent women. One of the first Muslims was a wealthy businesswoman who…

You guys are seriously not getting this! As a South Asian person who speaks Urdu, I disagree with the poster that “overdramatic” was simply a mistranslation or poor choice of words - he clearly meant he thought she was being overdramatic/overreacting (kinda the same thing?)

But Pakistan is a highly diverse society. The…

They actually worked together on this, and she’s been open about saying so - it’s actually a mark of a good, gracious politician to be willing to work with her competitors on creating a more inclusive platform. There are many fair points to criticize Clinton on, but I’m getting tired of the constant portrayal of her…
