  1.  @Anxh007  Yeah, that's a load of crap. Turkey is the last remnant of the Ottoman Empire, not Saudi. Women there are fighting to keep abortion rights, like in the US, and homosexuality was never illegal, because they carried over Ottoman laws, which had already decriminalized it. Jews had lived in relative peace in Muslim nations, for 1300 years, been given refuge when Christian nations offered conversion, death, or exile. Plenty of accounts of Christian crusaders being the most bigoted, ruthless, and fanatic, during the Crusades. Etc. Most of the current Muslim nations were created by the Christian west. Carving up the Ottoman Empire was as if nations conquered the US, with the help of far right Christian militia groups, and then handed those religious nuts some of the states to rule over, like theocracies, after. And then, if any more moderate leftist Muslims rose up, those same Christian nations helped overthrow them, with coups, or again backing religious extremists. So, yeah, the West wanting to keep the current socio-economic status, in those countries, has been tied to more extremism. Just like how they supported fascists, in Central/South America, to try and keep the status quo, keep people down, and keep the money flowing in the direction they wanted.

  2.  @operationstack  And that's a lie. The Bible includes the OT/Tanakh, which is the absolute worst of the trilogy, by many mi​les.

  3.  @Anxh007  Netanyahu also followed the Christian West's example. He promoted, and helped fund, Hamas, to weaken the more secular Palestinian Authority, to avoid possible peace, and an officially recognized independent Palestine, which he would then have to leave, and give up on his colonization project. It's kind of nonsensical to cry about how extreme Muslims are, when you're the one putting down moderates and propping up extremists.

  4. The only "claim" that Zionism had to this specific land, was based on a fairy tale book. After living relatively peacefully in Muslim countries for 1300 years ... being given refuge when Christian nations offered conversion, death, or exile ... the Ottoman Empire even okaying the earliest form of Zionsim, which was more like immigration ... Zionist religious extremism, the switch to colonialism, changed everything. Jewish extremists believe in the OT/Tanakh, which is the worst book in the trilogy, by many miles. India represents almost the entirety of the Hindu world. It ranks lower than Saudi, for the treatment of women. And, now there are Hindutva fascists, running the country, persecuting Sikhs, Muslims, and Christians. Christian nuts, in Africa, actually campaigned against wearing protection, even telling people that condoms cause AIDS, as tens of millions of people died. Plus, there are plenty of other Christian extremists around. Europe and North America no longer represents the majority of the Christian world. The majority is represented by Central/South America, Africa, and Asia. The US likes to say "Mexican cartel", but there are some you could also describe as a "Christian cartel", that worship a saint of death, and chop off more body parts than ISIS did. Christian Brazil is also the deadliest place on the planet, to be gay. They also challenge Buddhist Thailand for the child sex tourism capital of the world. Psycho Buddhist monks have also been doing very bad things. Most suck pretty bad, if you actually take a hard look, and don't just focus on the one you've already predetermined is the worst. Ancestral spirit worship doesn't seem too fanatic.

  5. You called it, about Sam Harris. He has an episode out called "THE SIN OF MORAL EQUIVALENCE", supporting Israel.

  6.  @synchronium24  Well, he pretty much does. He puts the blame on Hamas for Palestinian civilians dying, and writes off collateral damage.

  7. ​ @TheScotsalan  India ranks worse than Saudi, for the treatment of women. And, I'm not sure that the motivations of those at the top necessarily align with the motivations of the masses. Like all of Trump's poor cult followers, handing him money, and doing his bidding. Or, poor people handing money to those megachurch multi-millionaire pastors.

  8. Harris has never been objective about anything, as far as I've seen. I don't think he even has a clear understanding of what the term means, and often wonder how he was given a philosophy degree.

  9.  @soren9833  That was a description of them, not a "debunking". Do you believe in one of those fairy tale gods?

  10.  @TheOldSchoolGamer93  The difference between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, is that Muslims didn't simply stick a new new testament after the first two. It rewrote the whole thing, and left out many things they considered to have been inserted by man, into the first two, including a bunch of the worst laws from the OT/Tanakh. You have to get into the Hadiths, which aren't used by all (somewhat like Catholic catechisms), for it to get as nasty as the OT/Tanakh. It was actually the more tolerant, of the 3, for about 1300, of its 1600 years, until the Ottoman Empire was carved up, by Christian nations, and parts handed off to more extreme Muslims. Since then, part of the problem with being a more moderate Muslim, is that it also went with being somewhat more leftist. Christian nations, especially the UK and US, didn't like that. One, or both, supported ... a coup in Syria, when their democratically elected government voted against a pipeline ... a coup in Iran, when their democratically elected PM wanted to nationalize their oil ... a coup in Iraq, when their popular revolutionary leader, who had overthrown the Brit's puppet king, proposed nationalizing their oil ... religious extremists in Afghanistan, when Communist Muslims overthrew the Brit's puppet king, and wanted to do horrible things, like extend women's rights to all women, not just the rich. For 1300 years Jews lived amongst Muslim nations, in relative peace. They were given refuge when Christian nations offered conversion, death, or exile. The Ottomans even okayed the earliest form of Zionsim, which was closer to just immigration. Zionist fanatics returned the favor with colonialism, terrorism (Irgun and Lehi), and occupation. Similarly, to the US and UK above, Netanyahu promoted, and helped transfer money to, Hamas, to weaken the Palestinian Authority and avoid possible peace, so he could continue his colonization project, which is based on further religious nuttery. So, it's not exactly as straight forward as Islam includes the other two, so it is as bad as them, plus more. The earlier two are partly responsible for the current versions of Islam, and the nations ruled by it. Turkey is the last remnant of the Ottoman Empire, not Saudi. Women there fight to keep abortion rights, like in the US. Homosexuality there has never been illegal, because they carried over Ottoman law, which had decriminalized it before a lot of Christian nations did, or while some were still considering it a form of insanity. TL:DR ... Relationship Status: It's complicated.

  11.  @TheOldSchoolGamer93  I literally called the people the West helped prop up "extremists". I didn't blame them for creating extremists, but for propping up those extremists, and helping to remove their more moderate opposition.
