Women Protection Bill protested by religious leaders as 'un-Islamic'

So much islamophobia and hate in this thread and on this site in general. You'd think it was a BNP/EDL right wing forum, not one with the current generations so called brightest liberal student minds. Shocking.

This is the key. You would imagine that these people might there is something wrong with their thinking when they complain about those who criticise Islam rather than condemn the Islamic preachers who are using the Koran to justify the continued repression of women, to the extent that they try to shout down a law to protect them.

I challenge any of them to come forward and state, in writing, why suppressing criticism on TSR is more important to them than the lives and well-being of the women in Pakistan that this law is intended to benefit.

GOD. The true GOD of Israel will bless your life

Eh? I seriously doubt any god will bless my life, whether of Israel or anywhere else.

Think again, my friend...

And you have people on here saying Muslim countries are some of the best for women..

No one says that lol

It's true that there are some apologists who seem to have lost touch with their humanity. When someone will attack someone who is criticising slavery or wife-beating, rather than criticise the actual slavery or wife-beating, one has to wonder what exactly is going on.

I've always wondered that. For example, when a cartoonists draws the prophet, or Bill Maher says a joke, there is outrage on a huge level. Muslims riot on the streets, they go on a rampage and burns busses, embassies. Legions of people calls for Blasphemy laws and protests...

When Saudi Arabia, obviously being a False Islamic State, does something horrible in the name of Islam, the reaction is merely "Not True Islam". Where is the level of passion you get for blasphemers? Where is call for boycotting Saudi Arabia? Where are the street riots when the Grand Mufti issues a fatwa on Pokémon, clearly bringing the religion into disrepute. Or banning women from Starbucks, or Raif Badawi.

I found this to be the case immediately after the Paris attacks as well. A lot of Islamists and regressive leftists on TSR forwent completely any kind of condemnation of the attacks, instead choosing to moan and cry about the potential backlash against Muslims and/or increased scrutiny of Islam (which hadn't yet materialised). So the logic seems to be:

1. 130+ (mainly) French non-Muslims die in a terrorist attack -- Eh. What're you gonna do. The world's a dangerous place, and France should have known better than to ban the burqa.

2. A potential backlash against Islam or Muslims or people of stereotypical Muslim appearance -- Oh my god! The West is so Islamophobic! This is all the West's fault because Iraq -- something something -- Afghanistan and now another Holocaust is about to take place!

#Logic.

Ah, true. Although I have to point out the outrage from some Muslims was the fact that there's little coverage for other bombings that week e.g. Beirut and Baghdad which I have to admit they have a point

The Iraq war caused a lot of things and had many unintended consequence... but people need to realise that this problem in Pakistan has nothing to do it. It needs to be realised when Zia-Ul-Haq turned the country into an Islamic State - its been declining.

Another thing that some people seem to have missed is that the modern incarnation of Islamist terrorism started years before the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, so those events can't be used as justification. There were several major attacks on US interests before they had invaded anywhere. What was the justification for those?

And you have people on here saying Muslim countries are some of the best for women..
