Reply to comment by [deleted] in Dutch court rules 2007 Dutch bombing in Afghanistan was illegal by BaburTheBlunt

Ah yes, an instance of domestic terrorism in one of the many western nations is equivalent to the government endorsed and culturally backed honor killings, forced transition, rapes, imprisonments, murders, etc. /s

Yes, good job, you got them! Wonder how all those Western nations will recover from your lacerating acknowledgment that we have some morally corrupt individuals while the Arab world has a morally bankrupt state and miseducation problem… maybe we’ll use some of our freedom to cope.

I think, to cope, I’ll go have a beer, not get killed for being my religion, and not executed for criticizing the state, and not stoned to death for the beer.

Then I’ll walk home to my wife who loves me, who I didn’t purchase like a rug, and play the uncensored versions of video games. Maybe I’ll check on my sister, who hasn’t been raped, then executed for being a rape victim, or stoned to death for singing, even if she is horrible at it.

Then maybe I’ll go to protest and not be beaten to death by the police. After that, I think I’ll go on social media and talk to the rest of the world, and not be censored, or again, executed, for my political views. Perhaps I’ll decide I don’t like my government, and I’ll vote against the people representing me. It might have an effect! Perhaps tomorrow l’ll decide to change my career to journalism and not be beaten, tortured, and chopped into pieces.

Honest to god, I’m not sure I can point to a facet of the Arab world that isn’t terrible. Also, what the heck is a forced transition? I’ve never heard that term before.

Iranian law doesn’t have the same aversion towards gender reassignment than homosexuality and will push/force gay men into a forced transition as a preferable social outcome. “Curing” homosexuality through gender reassignment has been gaining traction amongst Islamic religious figures.

Why do you think one country having problems with unruly citizens and a single radicalized wave of politicians somehow exempts the Arab world from its backwards theocratic dictatorships and human rights violations? Why do you think outdated gun laws being wrong in a Western nation that isn’t even in the article somehow negate all criticism of Qatar?

“Dickhead”? How young are you? Ah oh no, random mental gymnastics redditor called me a dickead, how will I ever recover?/s

Clearly you are here with an anti west and anti US agenda. Have fun, just know two things: 1. This is an English speaking website 2. Your quips and comments are not anywhere nearly as clever as you think they are.

Lol if you are British which I HIGHLY doubt, then you thick af. If you think Qatar and America are anywhere near the same then you haven’t been out there very much. Get a grip on reality.
