You didn't even bother to think, you just jumped to conclusions. Dare mention anything in the vicinity of Israel and you assume everyone is on some sort of agenda. I was generally speaking that people were taking this opportunity to take a pop at Syria, this includes British made missiles that were identified.
I don't need to defend Welshie, he's fooking big enough to fight his own battles. @Welshie fook him up bro.

Nothing to see? Let me guess, was it the one in Syria where some guy is lifted out the crowd by a crane and hung to death?
Yeh that was in there, couple people being dragged by rope on the back of cars through the streets getting beaten, someone tied to thfronof a bus having his face turned into mush with a lump hammer. Usual religion of peace stuff yknow. In other news.... An invitation of peace.
My simple solution for this type of issue is this: Us (the UK) and every other country in the world that recognises equal rights for women should simply cut all ties, economic, commercial and diplomatic, with all and any countries that don't ... the end.
Me neither, more than likely the Syrians will end up with someone worse for everyone than Assad was tbh.
I'm not a fan of mixing religion with politics. imo religion should be a personal thing, and the state should be secular. But you have to remember that for many Arab countries Islam is also the state and Sharia law is the norm whether you're in Syria, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran and even 'liberal' Islamic countries like Jordan, Bahrain Kuwait or even in Turkey. We have a set of laws in Western countries that govern civil order, and in Muslim countries there are a set of religious laws that do the same. The west views Sharia law as harsh, but maybe those who follow Sharia law see our western countries with drug problems, gambling, prostitution, alcoholism, etc as abhorrent and think we're the ones who are crazy. There's always a balance between human rights and maintaining law and order, and I'd argue no country has got that spot on What he's saying here is that people who break the law, will be punished. And that would be the same message from any western country. (albeit with a different set of laws)
We're normally on the same page with these things, and I do agree with your broad principle that culture and law should be respected ... but... ... I'm never for instance going to 'accept' and respect what has happened in Afghanistan - generations of women denied an education, a career and self determination ... virtual breeding slaves to satisfy the whims of insecure men ... nah - that's just plain wrong ...
Yeah I'm not here defending any of these practices and I think a lot of it is in the interpretation of religious laws, which often gets abused by power hungry men. You only have to look at the Catholic church through the ages to see how corrupt it all can be. What at their core is often sound moral guidance, which most religions teach, are often abused and used as tools of repression. I suppose the point I'm making is trying to make the distinction between the two. But this is why I don't think religion and state should mix. Religion and spiritual practice imo should be a personal choice. Civil law should be something kept very separate from that. Because as we know, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Utter bollocks. UK laws are built on religion, they even sit in the House of Lords. I'd say most religion isn't that lot different, it's just interpretation of it. Your whole post comes across to me as denouncing any faith that is non muslim. When you write a list of problems in western countries, you do realise they are from all faiths (as well has non believers).
