Where’s he justifying it? He’s simply pointing out the double standards when the West policies the world how they can get away with whatever atrocities they want.
Plus, you furthered his point by calling the western atrocious as “conflicts”.
What's the cost of water salination? California has a coast.
That's a false dichotomy, because nonreligious people find some other ways to create an "us vs them" mindset. We see it all the time.
It's also a fallacy to group all religions under one banner and claim that they all say the same. Even among what you call "organized religion", while there is some overlap between say Islam and Judaism/Christianity, once you start looking at things deeper, you'll see how Islam comes out different, and as a Muslim, I'd say on top.
What effect will this have on its price?
Those kinds of apps appearing are due to circumstances that set the wheels in motion a long time before.
When religions like Islam, Judaism, and Christianity heavily control mixing between the genders, it's for a reason. Once the boundaries broke down and the so called "sexual revolution" took hold, it was only a matter of time.
That's a straw man. Speaking as a Muslim, Islam controls mixing between genders of people that are non-Mahrams (i.e. people who are able to get married to each other). The same applies to Judaism and Christianity. Interactions between the genders is controlled and under specific circumstances, based on necessity, and no such thing as "casual friendship" exists between the genders.
The reason of course, is that the natural desire of humans, as well as the influence of Satan, will cause things to end up badly, as we've seen time and time again. Wasn't there the "metoo" movement that we saw?
I have not seen any Muslim scholar declare men as defacto "predators".
Lebanon was literally formed by the colonialist West, who used divide and conquer to strategically place people there so that the conflicts keep going.
I disagree that Muslims want democracy (I'm Muslim). Present day democracy generally contradicts and is against Islam, so I'm not sure where you're getting your information from.
Generic specialization is being worked on.
There is a lot of pioneering work done in Java and the JVM. GraalVM, ZGC, Shenandoah are but a few.
Let's look at that notion deeper. Are you able to claim that consenting adults engaging in sexual acts together in an uncontrolled manner (i.e. no marriage contract) is not hurting others? What about consenting teens with each other? I think you'll see that widespread STD's, abortions, teen pregnancies, single parent (especially single mother) families, and the emotion baggage that comes with these easy sexual relationships disagrees with you.
Secondly, what or who is your authority that people doing what they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone is a valid generalization to make for all actions?
That's a hand wavy answer that won't hold up to scrutiny. In some cultures, human sacrifice was permitted and seen as normal and acceptable. I think you would consider that a violation of human rights, but based on what?
I agree that companies should be forced to abide by the local laws and norms.
What was the stack used to write such a system? Was it a lot of C++? And what storage systems did they use? Sounds pretty cool.
Depends on which religion. We see what worldwide secualarization is doing to the rest of the world today.
So ignorant to call them "tax base", when in actuality, Zakat that Muslims pay is much much more than the Jizya that Dhimmis pay.
The Copts exist today because of the Muslims, this is a fact, even if you try to twist the meaning of what I wrote. They are to be treated well, and with dignity, and their rights preserved.
Secondly, I don't see what makes them "second class citizens", not to mention that even wikipedia acknowledges discrepancies in the points they mention.
As a matter of fact, several Jewish and Christian historians and figures clearly expressed that they would rather live under a proper Islamic rule as it offers them better quality of life compared to secular modernity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc6yXYR01Vg&t=6s
"These people", sounds "racist" huh?
We see what's coming, we see how things are unfolding in the rest of the world, so taking preventative action is only the smart and rational thing to do. You might not agree with it, but these are our culture and norms, and we've survived for over 1,400 years now.
Homosexual acts are prohibited in the Islamic faith. No one is forcing you to accept it, as such, you should leave those countries rule according to their faith. Islam has been preserved for over 1,400 years now, we don't need or want external meddling. We have already faced brutal colonization from the West in our history, and continue to do so.
It's not private behavior, that's the problem. Secondly, just because something is private (or not) does not mean it is acceptable. Some behavior are infective, and spread throughout society. We're seeing what's happening today right before our very eyes.
Secondly, who gave the right to non-Muslim countries to enforce what they think onto conservative Muslim societies? This is literally continued colonization.
No one is saying they are not human (straw man). Aren't thieves or murderers human as well? This is a weak argument frankly.
Who dictates "human rights"?
Logical fallacy, just because humans naturally gravitate towards something does not make it right. Humans gravitate toward feeling good (drugs), and we see how that turns out for example.
Which religious groups? As a Muslim, it's prohibited because God said so, there's really nothing more to be said. The Creator knows what is good and what is bad for us, and we are to Submit to His orders.
In many times, the Wisdom behind such orders is made apparent to us. As we see here (and historically, as per the accounts in the Quran about Prophet Lot Peace be upon him), these groups will not stop at just what's in the bedroom. Today we see indoctrination and outright hostility toward anyone who disagrees with them, causing societal instability.
You're straw manning. Not all crimes should have the death penalty. But severe abhorrent ones like killing, spreading of chaos (i.e. "terrorism"), or some other abhorrent obvious ones. We see that in countries that do apply the death penalty for such crimes, they have much lower of those crimes compared to those that don't. And they've done it for over 1000 years.
The Pact of Umar would like to have a word with you. The Copts exist today and their rights preserved because of the Muslims protecting them. "Slaughtering" people indiscriminately like you're implying is against Islam.
From wikipedia, while not being a reliable source in general, I already know that Arabs came from the North from other sources:
Arabs are first mentioned in Biblical and Assyrian texts of the ninth to fifth centuries BC where they appear as inhabiting part of Syria. Proto-Arabs are presumed to have originated from what is now modern-day northern Arabia, Jordan and southern Syria. Over time, Arabs spread further out sometimes replacing previously spoken Semitic languages.
In my (subjective, biased, maybe incorrect,) opinion people whose code of "ethics" includes phrases like ... are dangerous
Yeah, definitely biased and incorrect opinion. Are you aware that these tenants are not just in Christianity, but also in Islam and overlap with Judaism? That alone is way over 50% of the world's population.
their savior was crucified
Not everyone who believes in God believes that Jesus Peace be upon him was crucified.
The amount of life lost
Compared to what? The number of lives lost due to secular and/or atheist people like Stalin, Mao, Hitler, etc. are orders of magnitude more than any religious wars combined.
and the intellectual stagnation stemming from these religious fanatics
Which religious fanatics? Are you aware that many of the things we take for granted today stem back to discoveries made during the Islamic Golden age?
Jesus Peace be upon him was not a communist. Islam (Submission) is not communism. All previous prophets and messengers were Muslims (Submitters) to God.
Your accusing Muslims of knowing that the point of religion is something different from what the Quran says? That's quite brazen.
Why do I (or anyone) have to abide by what the UN says?
Rapists will be deterred when the punishments are actually applied.
