    It is fascinating to me that non Americans are so wildly opposed to the presence of American troops during the protests there which are becoming increasingly violent but are quiet as church mice about floggings, electrocutions and sexual abuse on the protestors in Iran who don’t appear to be violent at all.

    Why is this?

    Partly the big media......
    that I have thought should perhaps be held accountable somehow for all the damage that they cause quite deliberately.... and intentionally.....


    Should CNN be sued?

    It seems like the truly awful human rights abusers are ignored in favor of the smaller ones

    No they should not be sued but people who have a view that COVID isn’t as dangerous as people say should not be censored or face legal action as they are in some quarters right now.

    Selective faux outrage. It seems to be a genetic trait among liberals worldwide.

    I just don’t get it. Feminists who are outraged at how women are depicted in things as trivial as video games are silent about institutional misogyny in Iran and people who don’t want troops on the streets in riot torn areas are silent about what’s going on in Iran which is so much more brutal.

    There will likely be members on here who will look at what you and I have said as being intolerant toward Islam.

    Orwell called this double think!

    I am actually hopeful that near death experience accounts will transform and greatly improve Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and even ATheism over the coming years and decades.

    https://www.near-death.com/religion/islam.html


    I have the impression that an astonishing number of Muslims are listening to near death experiencer Rabbi Alon Anava (an Orthodox Jew), and Dr. Kevin Zadai, (a Christian).

    Mellen Thomas Benedict was an Atheist at the time of his brush with death.... but he actually was shown the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)....
