You disagree that it's thousands per day, but do you have reliable data on the scale of this problem?
How many people are getting stoned to death each day in war-torn Syria and Iraq, in the Islamic State?
lol Are you daft? It's astounding that I criticize you of consistently relying on logical fallacies in order to bolster your shoddy arguments and YET AGAIN, without any sense of irony or self awareness, you commit yet ANOTHER logical fallacy by way of argumentum ad ignorantiam. When you put forth an assertion, the burden of proof lies with YOU to defend your claim and not with the person criticizing it. And you're in Law School, right? lol I don't think you're clever enough to successfully pull it off but keep at it kid!
The Young Turks ??? I don't remember them explicitly condemning Muslim stonings in their show.
And after the New Year's Eve Rapes in Germany they also made numerous excuses for what happened.
I
specifically asked you to cite ONE Western media source that argued in favor of cultural relativism concerning stonings. And as expected, you
failed. Claiming that journalists at the Young Turks don't "explicitly" condemn Muslim stonings is not the same thing as proving where they have argued in favor of cultural relativism concerning stonings.
Furthermore, I'm a subscribed member of TYT for some years now, I've seen the bulk of their content, and without a doubt, they have been extremely critical of Islam, along with other religions (most of their journalists are Atheists), and especially its more heinous teachings and practices.
And concerning the sexual assaults on New Year's in Cologne, I'm going to prove that you're either a blatant liar or have English language difficulties because it could not be more clear how they regarded what took place. There was no equivocating on the wrongness of what happened; though they acknowledged that what may be socially normalized behavior in certain cultures is not so in others, they also strongly stated that sexual assault (groping, touching, etc...) is unacceptable regardless of where you're from or what you believe--that such behavior is even unacceptable in their OWN cultures and countries. You people just seem to be allergic to truth and reality and it's exhausting.
You might also watch this Gavin McInnes vs. Feminist discussion, where she makes excuses about barbarism in Middle Eastern societies, refusing to explicitly criticize their treatment of women, because they are a different culture and have their own standards
Absolutely no surprise that you'd cite someone as intellectually dishonest as Gavin McInnes is--all of your tactics seem to come from his playbook > logical fallacies, false equivalencies, strawman arguments, half-truths, quarter-truths, and flat out lies. The woman in the video was, at times, RIGHTFULLY confused, befuddled, flabbergasted and left speechless by his lapses in
actual truth and logic.
1.) First of all, she made no excuse for the "barbarism in Middle Eastern societies"; Moreover, discussing the enforcement of hijabs/burkas is not the same thing as discussing the brutality of death by stoning--yet another strawman argument and false equivalency on your part.
2.) Second of all, like any decent, balanced, nuanced, intellectually
honest person, she declined to speak on a subject matter of which she was not informed. She didn't just spout unsubstantiated conjecture and flat out lies like someone in yours or Gavin's position would do. Concerning hijabs/burkas, because they are a form of style and self-expression, alongside having religious significance, the "ethics" of the issue becomes stickier and more complex (unlike stonings that are more objectionably and demonstrably wrong). True self-agency for women means that they can choose how they express themselves and what they do with their bodies; and even outside of the Middle East, some women choose to wear hijabs and the like because they subscribe to the corresponding ideals and value systems or even because they like the style and fashion. But it is also true that in some places, Islam is forced upon its women and they have little to no self-agency and subsequently, wearing a hijab/burka is mandatory and not doing so is punishable by death. Religious clothing is an issue that requires a bit more nuance in order to properly dissect and detangle what's "right" or "wrong." Therefore, it's extremely disingenuous to equate taking such a stance on that issue to being equivalent to not denouncing stonings and the like. Seriously, do better.
