"no true Scotsman..."

there may be cultural oppression

Religion is a cultural phenomenon.

    Nice changing the goalposts.

    You said Islam oppresses women.

    If your point is the cultural oppression of women why didn't you open with that rather than rely on lazy stereotypes about Muslims?

    My point is the same: Islam oppresses women.

    It doesn't though, some Muslims do. Just like some Christians do. You got mad when someone else used a No True Scotsman argument, but "Islam oppresses women" implicitly uses the exact same argument. "Islam oppresses women, therefore any "Muslim" that doesn't, isn't practicing real Islam."

    I think they got the idea from islam.

    You think they got sexism from a book??

    I think they got it from their stupid lizard brains just like all the Christian misogynists and secular misogynists and Jewish misogynists and Hindu misogynists and Buddhist misogynists, etc, etc. I think this all started a long time before we had the capacity for complex language or self-realization. Your line of thinking can only lead to more prejudice and hate in the world, you should abandon it.

    It seems, authors of islam had stupid lizard brains too. And transmitted their stupid lizardness via their religious teaching.

    Yeah, that's what I just said. "Islam" has nothing to do with it, it's just a different color window dressing for prehistoric misogyny. The difference between something like Islam and something like fascism is that millions and millions and millions of Muslims are very good people who treat everyone with respect. So the paradox of tolerance doesn't apply, because being Muslim doesn't inherently mean being intolerant.

    millions and millions and millions of Muslims are very good people who treat everyone with respect.

    Especially in ISIS, Afghanistan, Iran and UAE, for starters.

    You're talking about Islamists, not Muslims. I guarantee there are millions of good people that call themselves Muslims in those countries. That's how humanity works, most people are actually pretty decent.

    Just trying to get on your intellectual level. If you don't like it, stop behaving so childishly.
