Reply #154: Here's the point

Would you object to someone posting the following:

This is what the Jewish nation is:

A place where the native population are denied basic civil and human rights, and where Jews subjugate and treat Muslims like shit.

Do you want Palestine to fall under Jewish law?

Muslims can't even go for a walk in their own back yard without threat of being murdered.

What part of the I/P guidelines that says do not discuss the truthfulness and/or stupidity of various religions are you and Vegasaurus missing?

The point is -- how about we avoid the negative portrayals and broad generalizations of Islamic/Jewish/Christian "law" around here?

How about not characterizing the atrocious actions of any particular nation or regime based on a religious affiliation?

I'm rather against the Bush/Cheney regime, but I don't go around commenting "see what Christian nations do". I'm also opposed to the way Palestinians are treated, but I don't make comments like "the Jewish nation is at it again".

Make sense?

There is another forum for religion if you want to talk about what you like or don't like about "Islamic law". I suspect there may be a good reason for that.
