So let's talk about all of the moral depravity of Muslims, Christians and Jews circa 600AD. This should be quite a long list. Are you guys really holding up Classical Antiquity as height morality for human history? |
Ok, let's all get in our time machines and protest the treatment of women 1500 years ago. |
Aisha was his wife. Not daughter. Not raped. My own grandmother was married at age 12. To someone much older. That was 2 generations ago. Things were a little different 1400 years ago? |
women with big breasts are usually given a pass. |
Even 1400 years ago, 6 year olds were not married off. |
+1 Disgusting |
JC, are you serious?!?! |

Less than a week has passed since this POS pile of protoplasmic garbage arrived on our radar, and we’re already defending the things Stuey said. “He wasn’t ALL wrong!”
Never change, trope and anti-semitism thought police. |
It's unpleasant to think about, but those passages are being used to justify forcing rape victims to marry their rapists, today! |
Great. Rape is a criminal abomination that nobody should ever endure, much less be forced to re-live through some demented interpretation of a book of fairytales. I think everyone should agree on that, and those who don’t shouldn’t be allowed within 100 yards of a political gathering of any kind. Back to business, what about the effort to chip away at the monument of depravity that Stu erected on 5th Ave. or wherever TF he shot his shot? |
what about the effort to chip away what Susan said? A crazy old guy with islamaphobic tendencies spewed his hate on a street vendor, then was fired and arrested. What else is there? What are you asking? I live in Rockville, once every few months someone leaves a crazy letter in every mailbox in my neighborhood with a bunch of antisemitic content. There is a truck driving around in Twinbrook with “by now most of my children hate Jews” sign. What do you want here? Acknowledgement that Stu is vile? No one denies it. Lots of coke people in the world. |
I don't want to derail this topic, but want to add this. Marriages were arranged at a young age. She was actually previously engaged to someone else. The marriage was contracted when she was young, but she did not leave her parents house and live as a wife until she was older. There is actually a difference of opinion of her age, some say she was 15 or even older, although most agree she was 9 or 10. Aisha is considered as a mother to muslims. To characterize the marriage as disgusting, is actually very insulting. It was a beautiful marriage. And she was an incredible woman. Extremely intelligent, inquisitive, witty, and spoke her mind. I'm sorry you don't know anything about her, except her age at marriage, and you choose to diminish her marriage and who she was based on that. |
A PP above mentioned that many people agree with him. And implied that Stu was right by asking what was factually incorrect. And other PPs then made not so subtle digs at Islam, the Quran, and the prophet Muhammad. This is all Islamophobic. It's in the thoughts of a lot of people, just under the surface. They think they are better than backwards muslims. And that all those muslims are terrorists or they support terrorists. It's just that Stu said it out loud. Btw, I'm actually originally from Twinbrook. I'm sorry you have to see those signs. |
Well, even though I have no connection to your experiences, I’m nevertheless very sorry to read of them. Awful. Nobody should be confronted with that. If speaking out against that or snapping my fingers made those experiences go away, I wouldn’t hesitate to do so. But that’s the problem, and that’s what I’m asking of you. What you’re describing happens 100x over in places like the West Bank, where indigenous people are terrorized daily by settlers. Why can I find and express sympathy for your experiences in Rockville, MD, but you cannot seem to be able to find or express sympathy for what innocent Palestinians (not Hamas, not those unwilling to live in peace) endure over and over and over again in the Middle East, most of it explicitly sanctioned by the State of Israel? Stu is an embodiment of the hubristic view of the world that too many supporters of the State of Israel suffer under. This isn’t about Jews, or hatred of Jews, or wishing that the State of Israel ceased to exist. This inability to disentangle one’s “Jewish-ness” from the State of Israel is at the root of, probably, 90% of the disagreements that exist here and elsewhere. Nobody serious is for annihilating any group of people. But what worries me is that too many people who support the actions of the State of Israel have bought into the fiction that one group is intrinsically better than the other. |
Cool, do the Hamas charter next. |
