Default Berlin safe zone for women

'Safe zone' for women set up at Berlin New Year's Eve event

Seems those peaceful Muslims are so friendly Germany has had to set up “safe zones” for women to protect them from those peaceful Muslims who sexually harassed, sexually assaulted, and or raped the women of Germany.

Let's take a nice look in the bible - the holy text of all Jews and Christians - at Deuteronomy, Chapter 13 - on worshiping other gods.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage...Deuteronomy+13

It straight-out tells people who believe in the bible to murder anyone who worships another god. My favorite line is this one:

"If you hear it said about one of the towns the Lord your God is giving you to live in 13 that troublemakers have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods you have not known), 14 then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly. And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you, 15 you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. You must destroy it completely,[b] both its people and its livestock. 16 You are to gather all the plunder of the town into the middle of the public square and completely burn the town and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God. That town is to remain a ruin forever, never to be rebuilt, 17 and none of the condemned things[c] are to be found in your hands. "

Not only are you to murder anyone who worships another god, but if ANYONE in a town worships another god, you kill EVERYONE in that town. Lovely!

Clearly, these people are all about loving thy neighbor and we need to bring more Christians into the US.
No, you misunderstand. The Bible/God is not telling ....you or me... To do these things nor is it a part of faithful worship. Nor is it instructions as to how to live your life. Bible/God is telling the invading Hebrews to remove all trace of the Caananites etc as the Hebrews advance to take over the land back then. Thousands of years ago

Spot-on. The post you responded to is one of the most ridiculous and hypocritical statements I've read here in some time. I've no idea how someone could be so damn myopic and not realize it.

Some anonymous person called me out on my childish response to this thread.

They are right -- it was unnecessary.

But the reality is -- if in New York City they did provide a 'safe zone for women and children at Times Square -- a European message board could very well have a comment from some angry European intent on attacking Americans about how Americans have to protect themselves from their men - mainly white.......

As a teen I went to many concerts (70's) and that mash of people in the front, I know of so many girlfriends who were molested -- and they were all white males.

That's what they are trying to avoid in Berlin.

There are stories all the time about subway rides, crowded public transit where someone grabs a woman just because they can -- and it isn't always a man of color.

I never said the Muslims who assaulted the Germans are people of color. A majority may be considered white. People from Syria have a mixture of roman and greek ancestry. Their ethnicity is not an important at all its the ideology that is the issue.

But you are right women can be assaulted anywhere. However 1000 women filing complaints against men of one particular group in one evening seems out of the norm to me. Tell me a time when something like that happened on that scale at Time Square.

And I understand that a person's religion and culture should be respected but they also need to meet the society they are living in half way. Just because a woman is not wearing traditional Muslim garb does not give them the right to touch her. I don't care what the Koran says about it.

Wow. If ever there was a neon sign flashing, a huge billboard on the side of a busy freeway, a clarion bell ringing out to signal something is not quite right with a person - this post is it.

I’m pretty sure the dude is a right winger trolling, to make liberal arguments look stupid.
