Far right religious extremism is the problem…
Not which prophet the extremists follow.
It’s a shame, I thought Morocco was one of the more progressive Muslim countries. I guess jail instead of beheading or stoning is progressive.
Also… It’s a preview of what’s coming to Texas, Alabama and Co. Wear a “Jesus is a lesbian” t-shirt over there even today and jail might be the lighter outcome.
It is but this kind of cultural change takes generations. I remember a couple of years ago seeing a newspaper article celebrating Rabat having its first female taxi driver, then a few months later I saw a video of a kid being beaten by her Dad because she had a boyfriend. There’s a big cultural divide between the people who’ve been raised with traditional values and the newer generations who been raised by the internet. Moroccans are not worldly people.

- If Moroccans don’t free her, Moroccans are cunts.
Awww poor Isvam got it’s fewwings huyt awww there there.
Fuck islam
Insane that people are downvoting you especially considering that the post is literally about a woman being unfairly jailed due to Islam’s core values and principles.
So tired of such an oppressive religion getting babied by wayward leftists, and encouraged by alt-right fascists.
It’s important to remember the average international IQ.
If it’s the average shouldn’t it be 100? I have no clue, my iq might be room temp lol.
Bunch of goddamned backward cunts.

156: Prohibition of outraging religious feelings
(1) No person shall outrage the religious feelings of any caste, race, community, or class by words, either spoken or written, by visible representation or signs or otherwise.
(2) A person who commits, or causes to be committed, the offense referred to in sub-section (1) shall be liable to a sentence of imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years and a fine not exceeding 20,000 rupees.
I wonder if they recently increased the severity. This overview of blasphemy law says that Morocco normally only gives two years in prison.
That is quite offensive to lesbians.
I don’t think putting her in jail is right in any way, but I don’t think it’s okay to just disrespect someone’s religion. Sure, to you it might be funny to belive in God or whatever, but to someone else it could be really important therefore I don’t think provocative slogans like this really do any good. if anything, they make things worse
I detest how one-way these things are. I am morally outraged any time I see a street preacher, or cultists giving out copies of their literature to children, or cultists coming to my door to question my beliefs. It’s morally abhorrent, as far as I’m concerned.
I’m supposed to tolerate their batshit nonsense but they’re allowed to do what they like? What makes their strongly held beliefs more important than mine?
Yes, because if we don’t let them do whatever they want in the name of their religion, it’s oppression. Literally the same as throwing them to the lions.
/s
It’s wild to me that people can’t accept different sexuality, but demand tolerance for their religious beliefs.
I will stop criticizing them when they stop controlling and/or influencing the laws and politics in my country.
Until then, their irrational beliefs are fair game.
The shirt was a pro-feminism message that’s reportedly been used by groups in the past.
If you’re religion is, unfortunately, tied to oppression of rights, then I give 0 fucks if someone makes a statement or shirt or whatever about those messages.
Don’t shit on religious people for their nice beliefs, like don’t play thrash metal on blast in the parking lot of a bakesale for the church. But anythjng about it’s messaging or reach or the negative aspects and I’m all game.
If you’re religion is, unfortunately, tied to oppression of rights
Islam isn’t…
You’re confusing the most extreme 1% with the billions who make up the other 99%.
Interesting you say that. So explain to me why the women must wear hijabs/burkhas/coverings over their hair and not the men. Why don’t the men wear head-coverings? Oh and what is oft the punishment for Muslim women found without their head-covers in public to be seen by men?
Beyond that, shall we discuss the Islamic States and their implementation of Sharia Law? How is punishment of death for apostates not depriving someone of their rights? Specifically the right to life?
Shhhhhhut the hell up dude.
So explain to me why the women must wear hijabs/burkhas/coverings over their hair and not the men.
The ones who force it, are extremists…
And in the minority.
For example, this article is about Morroco, where head coverings are not legally mandated one way or the other.
It’s a protected choice either way.
Shhhhhhut the hell up dude.
What could the possible point of replying be to just throw that at the end?
All religions I’ve read about so far, that I can recall, are. Islam is, christianity is. If Abraham was a cornerstone to your stories, there’s a good chance there’s some oppression there.
Oppressing your slaves by allowing them to exist at all and the determinations of who CAN be kept. Oppressing your daughters with religious traditions about marriage and subservience to your parents/husband. I can go on, not that this is strictly about Islam, this applies just about everywhere when applied from a fundamentalist viewpoint, and even those that don’t still harken to societal norms built on those fundamentalist values (tons of my Muslim friends in college had big fights about the white women they were bringing home…from the rural US where white women are the most common women for them to meet). Crazy business to not see that
But…
Do you understand that the ones who are following a book from over a thousand years ago literally, are a tiny tiny percentage of the total number of people who identify as that religion…
Right?
Maybe, it’s not what I see every day. I meet fundamentalists all the time, even if they don’t consider themselves one. Do US Christians practice fundamentalist christianity to the tee? No, they wear polyester and don’t properly take the sabbath and go off the rails about the 10 commandments all the time. But they THINK they adhere to the faith they were raised in. Even my progressive Muslim friends in college still held some ass-backwards beliefs they didn’t shed because, to them, that’s still modern interpretation or socially acceptable interpretation of their religious text.
You write like I’m painting all Muslims as regressive. Please, consider instead that I’m saying all religions, at their root, are regressive and it is the shedding of those beliefs that lead to a more modern form of that religion, but it does not entirely root out the thoughts/beliefs that founded the faith.
Ask a progressive Muslim what they think about child marriage as it relates to the prophet, or a Baptist Christian what they think about homosexuality, or a hassidic Jew what they think about the modesty of today’s clothing. You’ll get regressive answers from just about every single one, or, that’s been my experience.
Maybe, it’s not what I see every day
How many Muslim extremists do you “see everyday”?
Bonus question:
Do you realize you likely see way more Muslims, they just aren’t wearing religious clothing?
Oh that’s fun, you ignored all the rest.
I didn’t say they were extremists, I said they held some fundamental beliefs. The ones I see that are modern american Muslims, maybe once a week, it’s gone down since college for sure.
Bonus answer: no way, people don’t all wear religious clothing? Where did you get the impression I said I knew someone was Muslim by eyesight? I see a few Sikhs, sure, but most Muslim men, where I am, don’t where traditional clothing, maybe some handmade shirts from their trips back home but they’re still collared shirts and buttons ups in a western style. I have met maybe two women who are Muslim that don’t wear some kind of religious attire, be that a headwrap or a niqab. They also drank beer and were fond of the occasional midnight bacon burger, so they were far from being very devout.
Got more?
If you can’t even prove that a concept has the slightest bit of truth to it, you have no right to command others not to say things about it that you don’t like.
