(28,784 posts)What sort of ass assumes that people on DU receive their information from tv news - and then goes on to assign attributes to them based upon this erroneous assumption?
You, apparently. You invent a straw man and attack that, rather than read what someone is saying about religion, and particular Abrahamic religions, in regard to the position of women around the world - and that includes the U.S.
You're obnoxious in your claims against others that have no basis in others' statements. I have no tv, for instance. I don't know about others here, since I don't have your crystal ball of bullshit to make such a claim.
You do this again with the lie "so if you feel the need to proclaim yourself superior." You are dishonest to the core. That was NEVER said by me concerning this issue, and others are saying they find religious statement abhorrent. YOU ARE THE ONE creating this bullshit argument about superiority.
And, if you have ever read studies about fundamentalism as a cultural phenomena, you would know that it is a reactionary movement to change - and it doesn't matter if that change is imposed by those outside of a nation or within it, as American fundamentalists demonstrate.
You use opposition to revealed religion to make a claim about imperialism that is limiting, rather than looking at fundamentalism itself, while others here don't limit the issue to one religion's fundamentalism.
You assume others here have no knowledge of the history of Islam - and, again, indicate what an obnoxious pov you bring to DU in your claims that you and only you are the true representative of women who live in Muslim cultures.
Your problem is all the unwarranted assumptions you are making based upon your own lack of knowledge about others.
Get over yourself.
