close minded is a dumb term because if you call someone close minded, you're denying someone's opinion and being close minded.
I'd like to agree but Caribou here has continuously implied that Islamism and Arabs are somehow incapable of supporting democracy even though, you know,
Malaysia exists. (And yes it is an official Islam state, not many people know that these days.) And yes I'm aware it isnt quite a democracy but the example is Malaysia because its not suppressing any parties that are pro democracy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Action_Party The DAP holds a fraction of seats in Malaysia's Parliament and State Assemblies. I am calling it one because people may freely participate in the politics because of parties such as the DAP.
Here, I'll point out several examples of his bigotry and close mindedness and why he deserves the term:
It's time, someone has to get rid of this cancerous ideology.
Borderline Ethnic Cleansing and directly implying all Islamism deserves to be exterminated. Took no care into how he worded his statement.
Honestly the whole conflict in Iraq is a religious sectarian crCIA, it's what happens when there are too many religious sects of a religion. These people are very tribal and live in the 6th century still, it'd be a glorious attempt to get them to move to the 12th century (AT THE VERY LEAST).
Can you give me some examples of cities in the Muslim world that are highly sophisticated and developed? Excluding Abu Dhabi and Dubai
Denies the examples given to him when asking for modern Arab states.
From the top of my head, I cannot think of any stable Arab country with complete democracy, fully developed infrastructure, and a stable government.
Malaysia. (EDIT: See above edit to 1st paragraph)
Exactly, the Arab world is just a big terminal of tyrants, defamation of females, political instability, as well as economic instability.
Generalization, even though quite a few Arab states are unstable, guess how many other states that are non-Arab are unstable?
A LOT. Stop directly implying the problem is uniquely Arab.
Have you ever thought that maybe if these barbaric people weren't rebelling and killing each-other for thousands of years, there would possibly be some considerable improvement? I find it funny how liberals don't realize this by now, that the Arab world for the most part does not like Western Culture, and especially America.
You've been reading too much
Holy Terror if you think said civilizations were the only ones killing each other for thousands of years, like, uh..
OH RIGHT EUROPE.And lastly,
You call that a social norm? I call that a social absurdity. To believe that it is a social normality to look down on woman, force them to cover their faces, and stare at them makes you very close-minded.
Directly presuming an absolute safe social norm that is supposed to be across all cultures. The irony, calls others close minded and yet all the examples above say otherwise.
This guy is now officially nominated for the Hall of Shame.
