How ****ed up is this

[Shadow Wolf]

A very fine example of when it is inappropriate to "respect" foreign cultures by default just because they exist. Such ways as this are condemnable at the absolute best, and those who claim to respect it should have a very hard and serious thought about this before throwing out labels of "racist" and "Islamaphobe."

All this is coming to the West.

Americans would never tolerate this.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

If you let enough “murderous loonies” in from places they exist in substantial numbers it is inevitable that laws will swing in favour of their views.

And nowhere in the West is this happening.

What vetting process is there to keep out people who believe in blasphemy and/or apostasy laws from migration to your country?

As far as i’m aware there is no process which explicitly rejects migrants on this basis in Australian law, and i’d be more comfortable with it in place.

Basically, you have to swear that you support the Constitution, which someone who promotes blasphemy laws couldn't as those would violate the First Amendment.

So nothing explicit, you are simply relying on them interpreting the constitution in the way you do?

There's no way to support blasphemy laws without violating the First Amendment. Loony native-born Christians are far more likely to try to force a law like that, not immigrants. Sorry, but I'm not afraid of Muslims and I live in a city with a very large immigrant Muslim population. They don't bother anyone.

There are a handful of legit examples, such as in Germany where, basically sharia enforcers got in trouble for impersonating law enforcement. The "no go" zones don't exist, but at the same time they do sometumes harass us, for being us in our own home (such as a female reporter who was harassed for not being entirely covered up). Its cool if they want to come here, but they have to leave that **** out and not expext their ways of oppresion and repression to have enforcement here. Like my own experience with one who thinos were all evil devils for not using both Bible and Quran to base our society and legislation on. The do seem a minority, but they are here.

Yes, of course. They should be kicked out if they can't respect their new nation's laws.

Junaid Hafeez: Academic sentenced to death for blasphemy in Pakistan - BBC News

Some say its cultural, some say its a lack of education I call it ****ed up.

Yeah. I agree with your assessment. I can only hope that the appeal process will be a success in reversing the charges. It sure sounds like Pakistan is making Islam compulsory... and that's **supposed** to be forbidden per the Qu'ran.

I hope the appeal works too, and for the others facing the same charges.

 

[Notanumber]

It must be dreadful having to live under Islam.

 

[whirlingmerc]

I know you meant to say 'Crapistan.'

A false accusation might become a death sentence and the accused might have a difficult time getting out of it.

"Pakistan’s supreme court has called on the country’s politicians to ensure that hundreds of people facing imprisonment and even execution under controversial blasphemy laws have not been falsely charged, often by enemies wanting to settle personal scores."
Pakistan supreme court warns against false blasphemy accusations

God is a God of justice and mercy. One of the commandments is not bearing false witness and so such a thing is dishonoring God and is neither justice or mercy.

We need to be tolerant and respectful of all cultures, just because some customs may seem different or strange it doesn't give anyone the right to judge them.

It must be dreadful having to live under Islam.

It is also dreadful watching capitalism destroy the earth, culture, and any hope for a desirable future.

Global warming is a death sentence for billions, including the vast number of non humans who will perish along with us.

Islam is a medieval, regressive form of mind control. But then, so is most religion.

It is easy for secular westerners to criticise Islam, and so they should.
On the other hand, it is western capitalism and consumerism that is destroying the very basis of all life.

Without Islam, we would still be heading for global destruction. And denying it while we manufacture and consume unnecessary trinkets and toys to keep a tiny minority obscenely wealthy.

So I despise both, equally.

I’m assuming that was sarcasm.

No one gives me the right to judge them.
I take that right.
Call it hate speech &/or bullying, I say such theocracies suck goats.

Is such language permissible?

 

[Revoltingest]

(I assumed it too...but don't tell him.
It would ruin my response.)

Are you sure? America, so far as I can see, is changing -- and not for the better.
