[QUOTE="soberups, post: 991076, member: 14668"] Not true. You are lumping [I]all[/I] Muslim sects (Shia, Sunni, Wahhabi, Sufi, Alawite) into one category. That is also known as "bigotry". Would it be fair to judge [I]all [/I]Christians by the actions of, say, the Fundamentalist Church of LDS that practice child marriage(rape) and polygamy(enslavement of women)? Would it be fair to assume that [I]all[/I] Christians handle poisonous snakes? Would it be fair to assume that the psychos from the Westboro Baptist Church who picket the funerals of our servicemen shouting hate speech against homosexuals reflect the views of [I]all[/I] Christians? Would it be fair to assume that the Ku Klux Klan represents the religious and political beliefs of [I]all[/I] Christians? While it is true that in Islam (as in Christianity) there are sects such as the Wahhabi that denigrate women to the point of denying them all civil rights, it is [I]also[/I] true that there are Islamic nations such as Pakistan and Inonesia that have had women Prime Ministers in their elected governments. The moral of this story is that the world and its people are complicated, and facts are always more accurate than sound bytes and stereotypes. [/QUOTE]
