I think you misinterpretated it. I didn’t deny that statement.

I’m laughing at the ridiculous idea that someone needs to provide names to back up the assertion that rape is a global problem. That makes no sense.

I modified the text to be clear.
I meant rape is an obvious global problem and you don’t need to provide evidence for it.

Similarly radicalism in Islam & their hatred for Jews is an obvious problem which shouldn’t require evidence at this point.

The video ‘give you chills’ because you’re ignorant. Why should she condemn Hamas or Hezbollah? If she asked ‘will you condemn Israel, she is seen as anti-semitic’. But because he’s name calling ‘terrorist, etc’ he wins.

She has no debating ability, her counter should be ‘Well how is Hamas crimes any worse than Israel’s crimes? If you want me to condemn Hamas, will you first condemn Israel for it’s ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people?’

He wouldn’t have a comeback for that

I didn’t get chills for first question. It’s the second question that you should concentrate on

He specifically asked “The leader of the organization wants all Jews to assemble in Israel, so he doesn’t have to hunt them down. For or against it?”

For any normal person, the answer is clear ‘against it’.

There is no grey area in that question. There is no different counter to present. A straight ‘against it’ is expected from a normal person.

However she clearly hates Jews & Israel and didn’t think twice before giving that horrendous answer.
The world is full of people like her.

I’m not ignoring radicalism. You said factions, I asked which factions and you weren’t able to provide me with a faction. The point being if you don’t know what factions of Islam grow up with an inherent hatred of Jews (they don’t, it’s a hatred of Zionism and Israel - not Jews) then you shouldn’t say it.

And with regards to your ridiculous other point - I’ve said again and again that sexual assaults against women are a global problem. If you choose to be ignorant to that and want me to “name names” lol then that’s your problem, champ. But I will tell you this;

Even in the UK, 1 in 4 women will experience some form of sexual assault in their lifetime. And that’s a developed nation. I shudder to think how bad the statistics will be in less developed nations.

My bad, My interpretation of the definition of word faction was incorrect in my head when I used it.

But it’s disgusting and hypocritical because the people being massacred aren’t Jews, they’re Palestinians. I could pull out quotes from Israeli policians which are equally provocative. More importantly though Israel are the real criminal here. He’s a massive hypocrite, an apologist for ethnic cleansing and he’s simply using rhetoric, gaslighting and shock tactics. She’s showing she doesn’t have the knowledge to debate.

Did you know Israeli’s sang ‘Your children won’t be going to school in the morning’ while Gaza was being flatened. And it they weren’t talking about schools being shut. The Muslim Brotherhood does good and bad but a Muslim isn’t going to condemn people they see as fighting against an oppressive regime that is massacring them.

Jews have been massacred throughout history. It’s a huge surprise to me that there isn’t a huge terrorist presence within Jews.
We could toss the blame between Israel & Arabs all the time but the question was very binary.
She doesn’t need to take everything into consideration to answer that question.

Hindus & Muslims also have a very very complex history of friendship and hatred. We hug and massacre each other once every 2 decades.
Yet if you ask me if a Hindu extremist leader made a statement that he wants all Indian Muslims to assemble in one district of India so he doesn’t have to hunt them down, I would not skip a beat being against it and would want that guy to be behind bars for inciting violence against a community.

There is a huge terrorist presence within Jews, it’s called Israel. It regularly commits genocide. It’s butchered Palestinians at a far higher ratio than either Hamas or Hezbollah. The fact you and he focus on one insavioury comment, about a people who are at little to no threat, while you both ignore the counter group being the victims of genocide, shows you both up for who you are.

I don’t know whether I should take your post seriously.
Did you make your post out of anger or you really believe everything you wrote? Would you like to retract some of the bits?

Deadly serious. Israel is a Neo Fascist Terrorist State. The fact you want to ignore it’s horrific crimes and point to ‘oh look a terrorist supporter’ just shows up your massive anti-Muslim bias.

Just wanted to add that ACM isn’t making that up. Israel has indeed assassinated more people than ANY Western nation since WW2.

If anyone is interested, you should give this book a go. It’s not a light read but it’s very insightful.

Okay let me begin with - I have no affiliation towards Israel and I would condemn them as well for their act of violence against Palestinians.
If the girl asked a counter question of similar nature to him and if his answer was in effect approving genocide of Palestinians, I would call him a terrorist supporter as well.

Just because I called her out for her vicious comment doesn’t make me a genocide sympathizer. Such a ridiculous conclusion to derive.

It is a blatant attempt to shame me into thinking the girl is not wrong to have that opinion.
I am not dumb to fall for that.


Now lets address the ridiculous bits of your previous statement.

You are talking about Jews who are never not under any threat. They have been massacred throughout the history, pushed out of their homelands, forced to convert and killed just because they were Jews.

I don’t know maybe Jews know a thing or two about being victims of genocide as well, don’t you think.

I don’t want to go down the Israel Palestian debate as it is a complex issue with faults on all sides.

Oh good I’m a father’s Day present down. Put the Toblerone down lad this will do nicely.:hugs:

I totally respect your opinion, but I don’t think I overly agree with this. It’s a bit like saying that poverty explains violent crime, but if that were true then you’d expect to see it in places where poverty is similar or worse or far worse. Often we don’t. How do we explain that?

How do we explain, here in the UK, the disproportionate homophobia, misogyny, desire to live outside of democratic rule, sympathy with stoning or terrorism by looking at libraries and youth clubs? It’s surely more to do with culture and beliefs and how those cultures and beliefs exist in very segregated communities. Terrorism is this + (sometimes) being a loner / mental health etc. How do we explain why an 18 Year old planned to blow up the British Museum, or why a middle aged white woman convert to Islam from Middlesex planned to blow up St Pauls.

Half of all British Muslims think homosexuality should be illegal, poll finds

Religion is supposed to teach tolerance, love and caring for others but in reality a lot of religions teach bigotry and hatred.
The people who invent these religions then persuade others that their invisible friend knows everything and should be obeyed.
They then encourage all their followers to hate and wreak havoc on anyone who doesn’t follow their warped views.

Religion is a tool and a weapon used by people who shouldn’t be trusted.

If everyone becomes an Atheist tomorrow, the world would be a lot nicer place to live in.

There will always be ways to divide humans but Religion is the biggest tool in the Arsenal to do so.
