I don't think anyone here posted that they were going.

And I think everyone is cool with protests. It's arson, vandalism and violence we object to.

Maybe there isn't a difference to you.

Drawing conclusions based on flawed thinking isn't too bright.
I have never seen any Conservatives rally in support of American women in the same manner. But you guys are all up in arms about all those poor Muslim women being abused through Sharia Law.

When you guys demonstrate the same level of "concern" for the millions of American women who are routinely abused by good white Christian American men we will take you seriously.

Until then, it's obvious that this has nothing to do with Muslim women, who you care about less than you do American women who are being abused.

You fool no one.

See, that's your problem, JAMS - you don't pay attention.

I'm NOT a Conservative. I've posted many, many times what I am. And I'm in this thread defending ....wait for it....a woman. <gasp>

Again, you're drawing conclusions based on false assumptions.

I don't know how many times I have to tell you that's not too bright before you get a clue and stop.

Not true. There was plenty of poutrage over the women's march which was entirely peaceful

It IS it though. This isn't a debate about feminists (and even if it was, do you have any examples of feminists selectively ignoring Islamic violence against women?). They're not the only one's outraged by all violence against women. It's a huge problem in this country that millions of Americans are actively working to solve. The perception that "sharia law" and muslim violence against women is somehow overlooked by everyone else is laughable. It's part of a much bigger problem. There are still huge problems with violence against women in the U.S. (and a president who talks candidly about "grabbing women by the..." is no small part of that)- someone posted data a few pages back. Sharia Law is a drop in the bucket (if that) relative to the larger problem overall. 1.3 million women report being physically assaulted by an intimate partner every year. Those are the victims that actually came forward. Estimates vary, but most sources indicate that under reporting is also a big problem (and in my limited experience, I'd agree). I've seen two examples in this thread of victims "sharia law" in the U.S. It's certainly not justification for those incidents, but clearly there are more effective ways to channel the outrage (if that's really the motivating factor here, which it isn't) surrounding violence against women and other vulnerable populations.

The issue is that many people in this country are terrified of a religion they simply don't understand and this is a manufactured excuse to trash it. It's incredibly transparent. And watching people in this thread talk about what a "threat" it is using the facade of protecting women while ignoring the much larger issue of domestic violence as a whole in this country is sad.

Dearborn, Michigan: First City In The US To Enforce Sharia Law






No, there is not yet Sharia law in full bloom in Dearborn. If that were the case we would likely have seen beheadings in the street already, But that does not mean Shari is not practiced there among residents.
Little Girls genital mutilation.
That is not evidence of Sharia. Three examples were given, all revolving around a single festival apparently. The first one may have been unfair and perhaps the Christian's arrested had their rights violated (though to be clear, they were handing out their "literature" at that event to generate a response), but that's not evidence of Sharia law.

The second example is a little tricky, but they were carrying a banner through the event, which is disrupting the event. The response of the various attendees was unjust but also it's hard to really do anything to just a general crowd responding like *******s to a handful of *******s trying to ruin someone else's day.

The third isn't really worth addressing. Court costs are always a factor and we just have to accept that.

Do you just get your news from Breitbart?

Feminism is not monolithic. Many feminists are extremely critical of domestic abuse that happens abroad. There's a great feminist philosopher, Martha Nausbuam, who speaks on the issues of women rights in a global sense, giving credit to Western liberal democracies for doing their part to give women the chance of equal representation while she viscously criticizes places like India for giving equal rights to women but not actually doing anything to address the problem. Her main argument is that rights as a measure of human dignity is not sufficient.

But if you only get your news from Breitbart and aren't willing to venture out into the world and actually experience things, you'd think all Feminists act like SJWs just getting in crowds and yelling. You're of course wrong. Objectively. But that's the problem with Breitbart... it's readers don't give a **** about objectivity.

And if you don't read Breitbart, I'm dying to know what your ****ing excuse is for being this incredibly wrong about something.
