What? The “Land of the free”?

Whoever told you that is your enemy

Europe is pretty racist too, it just manifests itself differently.

But muh heritage…

This photo is so fucking badass. Representative straight up throwing herself into the line of fire.

Yeah I guess you’re right.

Do the people committing these acts typically deny that their religious views played a role (or were the sole reason) for what they did?

I’m sorry, I just don’t buy it. We know how Islam generally treats women in practice. We know how they view chastity. We know how some of them feel about girls even going to school.

Why else would they murder their child, if not because of their religious views?

Aghast enough to do a single fucking thing about it?

And yet, here we are…

Sounds like moving the goalposts a little bit, no? Why did you have to specify “for adultery” when we’re talking about the general concept of honor killings?

Remove some Republicans from office via the 14th amendment.

Yeah, perfectly reasonable expectation… Sometimes it feels like talking to children on this site I swear.

You misunderstood… By “caught” they just mean that we know he did it. Nothing at all will ever come of this.

What I don’t understand is a blood thirsty vampire like Miller…he’s never going to be a billionaire, he’s just pushing his Nazi wet dream to simp, he’ll never be in their club.

Have you ever seen photos/video of the Nazi high command? Not exactly the picture of “Aryan supremacy.” Some part of it has to come from a place of deep self-loathing I think.

A significant number of people running the country right now truly believe this, and are willing to kill for it.

It’s actually kind of crazy… this same person just claimed that it hasn’t been done in Pakistan in 50 years because they somehow think it’s impossible for four people to lie about witnessing something (or for people to just take it into their own hands and do it anyway because their religious laws are more important to them than any nation’s).

Took me 3 seconds on google to disprove it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honour_killing_in_Pakistan

The person you’re replying to is full of shit. They happen in Pakistan all of the time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honour_killing_in_Pakistan

I mean Pakistan has been implementing hudood 50 years and still hasn’t had one of case of implementing the hadd for fornication or adultery (on the latter of which is punishable by death)

I was certain that this was not true (I could swear I’ve even read articles about it). Took a 3 second google search to disprove it:

According to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, over 470 cases of honour killings were reported in Pakistan in 2021. But human rights defenders estimate that around 1,000 women are murdered in the name of honour every year.[3][4]

because how are you going to get four adult males watching two people have sex?

I don’t know, maybe they just fucking lie?

Yeah it’s fine to be close allies with Saudi Arabia, but don’t you dare acknowledge the reality in Afghanistan.

Not all of them, plenty of them voted for it because of the people it will harm as a result.

I’m sorry, how does adding witnesses make it ok? All that does is legitimize it.
