This is a poor man's version of the scooby doo story.

What is the worst advice you've ever received? by sophalopein AskReddit

[–]AlwaysDownvoted- 1 point2 points ago

While I agree, I think you are being difficult, and what wgardenhire is saying is pretty much the best advice for this high-times reading Gentleman.

So your basic argument is that the Quran itself and Islam are arbitrary and cultural, not that particular practices are arbitrary and cultural.

As for your example, this only applies to essentially criminal matters. Not that this would appease you, but there is alot of nuance to Islam that you do not see. Of course if viewed through the lens of Western culture it will seem almost capricious. LIberalism is all about live and let live - so let Muslims live as they choose please.

It seems abundantly clear that patriarchy is culturally based

Please enlighten me, because it is not clear to me. Islam treats the two sexes differently, and judges them accordingly, at least recognizing their inherent differences. Of course, if you take issue with Islam being divine itself, then you will take issue with this.

I am not comparing scales of punishment - Iran is definitely the culprit in that regard. Still, your issue is with Islam, and not the head cover in and of itself. Also, the argument is not a cheap shot - it is exactly the correct analogy. One culture thinks X is ok to wear, one culture thinks Z is ok to wear, and they both legislate the minimum.

I agree most madhabs hijab is not optional. As to "why" - that debate has been hashed and rehashed. As for culture vs. divinity - who draws this line?

But there isnt in any european countries judicial system a law that states that you are forced to wear a special type of clothing or that you are forced to hide a part of youre body

You are forced to hide your breasts and lower private regions. If you do not follow these norms, you will be fined, jailed, etc.

My point is, if that is your argument, then you should also not like any country that has a dress code, which is almost every country. Your inconsistency betrays your bias.

God yes. So many people without kids tell me how to raise my kids - they think that children are completely rational humans.

A townhouse is not good enough to start a family? Jeez man, you gonna have quadruplets? I started off marriage in a 1 bedroom apartment and then to a 2 bedroom apartment when we had a kid.

As far as I know every country on this Earth has some sort of dress code laws. Maybe some European countries you are allowed to walk around naked, however, you will notice that most people do not walk around naked. So there is a mixture of legal and societal norms imposed on both men and women.

Your appeal to human rights is interesting - it literally has nothing to do with anything, as I cannot choose to be a killer freely, I can also not choose to raise tigers in my backyard, etc. That is a preposterous and absurd argument.

Your essential problem is that you don't like head covering, or Islam. That is why you have an issue with someone being required to cover their head.

Yes, but the distinction here is that the no-choice here is that God has given them no choice - i.e., if women do not wear it, they are sinning. The same applies to men - if they do not cover their heads on a regular basis, they are sinning because they are contravening the regular practice of the Prophet.

So essentially, in your no-choice category, it is God that is doing the so-called "oppressing".

Yes, like in America, women are forced to cover their breasts. Oppression!

Is smoking Marijuana seen as Haram? by needsclarificationin islam

[–]AlwaysDownvoted- 2 points3 points ago

So basically, you think it is halal because you like it. The only real answer to your question is that the majority of Sunni and Shia scholars of past and present have considered marijuana haram when they were asked about it.

Getting into a discussion about the various levels of intoxication caused by marijuana, coffee, vapors and what not, is essentially irrelevant, because an analog is always made to alcohol to determine the haramness of the substance.

Charles Darwin at Kuwait University (aka Islam and evolution are compatible!) ♥ by balqisfromkuwaitin islam

[–]AlwaysDownvoted- -2 points-1 points ago

That's a non sequitur if I've seen one. *for all those downvoting folks, the title states Charles Dawrin at Kuwait Universit - thus Islam and evolution are compatible. That's like me saying a picture of Imam Khomeini is at Columbia Univ, thus Vilayat e Faqih and Liberalism are compatible heart heart heart!

A good enough lawyer should be able to argue that this type of stuff is not copyright worthy since it's a mathematical principle of sorts and you can't copyright an equation.

Great! Don't ever tell her she's not amazing, for arguments sake though.

Ideally, this is the adversarial lawyer's job - if the judge does not understand the technology, the lawyers need to educate them as best they can, and if one is doing it with bias, the other lawyer better be able to catch this. Basically, a good lawyer knows that people stare into space when you get too technical, so they should be super vigilant about that themselves.

For this purpose professional teams always making some kind of middleware.

Right - I think skyride's point was that creating these tools is not exactly cake.
