Even if we grant the definition of white Liberal elites, why would they want to bring Sharia to the West? Even on the face of it, that statement doesn't make any sense. Western Liberal elites are presumably doctors, lawyers, CEOs, high government functionaries & a handful of similar people - most of whom don't deal on a day-to-day basis with slaughtering animals by slitting their throats & bleeding them out, making the Hajj (nor any of the other ritual requirements of Islam), oppressing women, homosexuals, carrying out honor killings, inflicting genital mutilation upon girls, & so forth in a systematic way.


In terms of definitions, Islam is classed as an Abrahamic faith. I don't know enough about the ins & outs of the theology, but if that's true, then Islam springs from a similar background to Judaism & Christianity. Someone else will have to thrash through that argument, though. My observation is that if this is true - If Islam springs from a similar origin to the other two faiths, then Islam is also of the West - or @ least no more foreign to the West than Judaism or Christianity.

One should not confuse intelligence with knowledge or skill . Many unintelligent people know a lot, some unintelligent people think they know quite a bit and then we have those who, thinking they know a lot also think they are intelligent.

Many of them won't put the time to do anything extraordinary.

Most of them don't have someone at home scrubbing the poop off their undies for them while they put in time doing extraordinary things.

If you think about it, most women don't have the social support men do to go out and accomplish great things.

Its an insult to women to ask such a question. Granted one may not know of women's accomplishments but for crying out loud, how does one get through high school and not know some of them?
Also, Ava Lovelace. She was pretty amazing.

Like somebody said upthread.......men make up the majority of both extremes, geniuses and tards.

Boy, it is so obvious that there are a LOT of very dimwitted men in society....dumb as a lobotomized gorilla. I would say that 25 to 30 percent of the male population is dumb-or-worse. With Females, the dumb-or-worse population is probably around 10 to 15 percent.

If I'm making broad generalizations, men, by nature, tend to be more aggressive and competitive which not only drives them to excel but also makes them most likely to demand recognition and accolades. That said, I know many driven, very accomplished women who are at the forefront of their fields, including medicine, research science, music and literature, so I don't give much credence to the original premise of this thread.
