That's just how they try and end the discussion.
Establishing whether they're "better" or not isn't even necessary. The question is simply whether they're compatible.That's just how they try and end the discussion.
If we can get past the reality that cultures are different and some are better than others then we can move onto agreeing that cultures are equally valid but we do need to be conscious that we aren't all the same, especially when interacting outside of controlled environments.
Yes better is subjective based on the culture you live in and you're right, compatibility is better.Establishing whether they're "better" or not isn't even necessary. The question is simply whether they're compatible.
Is Islam compatible with secular Western values? Certain doctrines - such as those regarding apostasy, blasphemy and martyrdom - clearly are not.
So if you like secular Western values, it makes sense to acknowledge this.
Criticism of Islam = racism against brown people.And what is that agenda? Please explain it to me.
Yeah it's weird isn't it?Criticism of Islam = racism against brown people.
Answer me honestly, do critics of Catholicism, Mormonism or any ‘western’ religion face the same scrutiny as AHA?
Has anyone ever questioned whether Catholicism is compatible with Western society, despite its litany of abuses over centuries?Yeah it's weird isn't it?
I think we'd all quite comfortably make the observation that there is institutionally something rotten in the Catholic Church. And if you say that, no one accuses you of "tarring all Catholics".
But if you examine some of the ideas within Islam and question whether they're compatible with secular Western societies, that's tantamount to bracketing all Muslims with terrorists.
It's such an obvious, ideological red herring.
There's certainly no shortage of criticism of the Catholic Church.Has anyone ever questioned whether Catholicism is compatible with Western society, despite its litany of abuses over centuries?
This makes no case.You are so close to seeing the difference in how criticism of Islam is packaged.

And is that less severe a criticism than asking whether certain doctrines of Islam are "compatible" with Western society?
Apostasy, blasphemy, martyrdom, for example.You keep saying that. What do you actually mean. What 'doctrines'? Are you speaking of a particular sect (Sunni, Shia) or a variant of one of those (Salafism, Wahhabism etc), or aspects of the entire religion generally?
Apostasy, blasphemy, martyrdom, for example.
They are expressed differently in Islam.Aren't they also all doctrines of the Catholic church?
Mocking the church has been a comedy staple for decades, until recently. Monty Python, Dave Allen, et al. Secular society, in Australia and elsewhere, has been pointing out incongruities and removing the caul for as long as I can remember.They are expressed differently in Islam.
I'm not sure how this connects to the post you quoted or the arguments I've made before that.Mocking the church has been a comedy staple for decades, until recently. Monty Python, Dave Allen, et al.

I think it comes down to the word "respect" slowly changing from something that one once earned through their actions, to being something now demanded as a right.
It's a strange form of Nihilism.
Never mind.I'm not sure how this connects to the post you quoted or the arguments I've made before that.
When it became easier to link the Democrats to the first ones?When did "woke leftists and ANTIFA" become more dangerous than Islam, in the minds of the right?
I’m not ‘the right’. I’m a libertarian if anythingWhen did "woke leftists and ANTIFA" become more dangerous than Islam, in the minds of the right?
But I still 100% believe that the largest Ideological threat in the world is Islamic Extremism, and it’s not even close.

If you open the borders without restriction Australia would survive no more than a few months.As to the immigration debate...........
I simply can not take Right Wingers seriously. They do stoke prejudice, racism and discontent on one hand yet on the other run one of the most lax, ill disciplined and out of control immigration policies of all time.
I think Australia should seriously tighten even suspend immigration (Of all Nations across the board) until we have our sh*t sorted and then run a controlled program. Or operate on a basis of true Globalism and just open the Borders on all sides and allow freedom of movement.
you you you are the quitist random dude that I caught ta lemonWhen it became easier to link the Democrats to the first ones?
