Quote:After all, yous tarted the thread by comparing 'the west' to Saudi Arabia.
I didn't make any comparison at all. I merely pointed out the West do not permit women to drive in certain places.
Nothing to do with Saudi Arabia.
Quote:Can you explain why you brought it up then?
Again, I didn't bring it up, I merely countered that tsfen was inaccurate in their assessment of Muslim countries.
As I said, it wouldn't matter if they were speaking about Eskimoes, the point is still there to be made. Nowhere did I state anything remotely like "Islam says this or that", why you insist it is the case is beyond me. It does appear you will goto any length to win (so you think anyway) some points.
Quote:apparently in defence of Muslim countries in general,
To point out the ignorance. No defence at all. Why would I defend the puppet governments of Muslim countries, when I've stated on numerous occasions I consider them illegitimate?
If tsfen had said "Muslim countries don't permit alcohol" I would also point out it is incorrect, as in most Muslim countries it is permitted, in no way does it suggest I agree with or am "touting" this as a positive aspect, merely pointing out the inaccuracy of someone's statements. Really I'm at a loss to understand your thinking sometimes.
Quote:Are you suggesting it is a good thing that Muslim countries are discarding Islamic teachings and progressing?
Why does everything have to be in terms of defending for you? A point cannot be exposed as wrong, without it having some hidden reason for trying to defend or promote something.
You're just becoming tiresome really.
