The idea of an Islamic Caliphate goes back to the days of the Crusades.

Since then Islamic fundamentalists have always wanted/aspired to a return of a global controlling Islamic Caliphate.

Nope. Think along the lines of cause and effect.


Listen to yourself. You've been a long time advocate of stopping violence against women, but now you're making excuses by saying they deserved it because 'we started it'. How does that reasoning go down in domestic violence? Violence is okay if it was done to you first? Since when the f**k have you argued that? There was even one discussion you started on abuse in the workplace, where a woman was (allegedly) assaulted, and the boss did nothing and was even in on it. When I suggested the father go in and teach them a lesson you got all puffy about violence. Now look at you here. Sickening. 20 young girls blown to smithereens and all you're doing is making excuses. Some feminist. But let's not beat around the bush here. You're making excuses because the perpetrator was non-white and Muslim. That's how f***ed up your thinking is.

The cause and effect argument backfires because Islam originally invaded Christian lands, not vie-versa. 



Mistie. This is why people accuse you of being a janitor.

Where is the critical thinking?

What's more, at what point did i make excuses?


Just sloganeering.

You have never argued to look at cause and effect when discussing domestic violence against women, but you use it here on this issue. No wonder the 3rd wave feminists are routinely looked on as trash.

The only thing remotely close to you using cause and effect on DV issues are that men are after power and that they are 'men'. Using this 'argument' on this issue only puts you further into the sh*t.

Never lied.

In fact i remember posting an article on the dangers of the alpha male trope that you poo-poohed.

Let me guess, that article was a Foucauldian inspired 'argument' on power?

Nope.

But if you keep saying things like that, people might believe you're not a janitor.

My critique would have been well thought out. I am very familiar with 3rd wave feminist interpretations of the 'alpha male'. Link to the thread. Let's see it.

Are you unaware of how dangerous the myth of the alpha male is to men and boys?
