Just a reminder that aside from the burka part, this describes Christian fundamentalism to a great degree. In other words, Islam is not the problem, fundamentalism is. And that's what I oppose regardless of what tradition we are talking about. I have Muslim relatives and in no way do they resemble your description.

But a war, especially one that seems to lack any real goals, will solve nothing. If Afghanistan and Iraq are any indication, nothing will change substantially as a result of this save maybe to make things worse.

“Islam is not the problem, fundamentalism is “ First, my apologies for political speech, and second, let’s uncouple fundamentalism from evangelicalism and then I think we completely agree. I have Christian fundamentalist neighbors who totally accept me as a pagan. They don’t try to convert me. They are still fundamentalist Christians. I love them.

The parts of any religion that advocate for adherents of other religions to be killed for their beliefs becomes suspect. If someone in a fundamentalist regime who is lgbqt is legally to be stoned (and/or killed) makes that government unacceptable to me.

Therefore it is unacceptable to me to kill anyone for their beliefs as opposed to their actions.

So … If there is a regime or a belief system that wants to kill me because of the gender of the person I love, when do I get to defend myself? Do I have to wait until the dagger is inches away from my neck? (at that point I’m dead and the bigots have won)

This then becomes the question, when Islam says I must be killed if I am gay, when do I get to defend myself?

I agree - shouldn’t talk politics- my apologies as well. Just made some banana Nuetella brownies. First time and I should have cooked them longer. Next time I’ll do better

Is it right to hate someone for their beliefs? I do not think so. However, I kinda think youall will hate me for my feelings and beliefs and I accept that 😔.

I think a belief system is evil that dictates that women are so tempting to men that they need to wear a burka and gays are so evil that they should be hanged as was/is the case in fundamentalist Iran/Islam. However, killing is also bad.

I am conflicted. I think it is bad for government to force us to do and think things it believes to be right regardless of what the individuals believe to be right. On the other hand, “freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.”

Rainbow

To pass under the rainbow, I knew I had to discard the costume of blood and muscle I had worn for over seventy years. It was surprisingly easy, as the aches and pains accompanying it were also discarded.

Once gone, I became aware of everything in an all-at-onceness. Separating individual interactions was difficult, but one caught my attention. Its raw sensuality drew me in and at the moment of conception, I had donned another costume forgetting all that went before.

Shamrock

The myths say that we were created by evil creatures that had to kill lifeforms in order to feed themselves and survive: Totally Barbaric!

The myths also say the creatures made noises and wrote things they called words to express themselves rather than transmitting the contents of their memory circuits: Totally Inadequate for Expressing Oneself!

There was a time, according to the ancient ones, where these creatures walked the earth with us: Completely Unbelievable!
