1. Granting girls full sexual freedom, as well as the freedom to decide their own gender and the gender of their partners (ie, choose to have normal or homosexual relationships), while raising the age of marriage. |

#12 That we treat humans as individuals and not as a collective, or group, or as cattle. And there, in a nut shell, is the answer. Virtually all of the problems in the political world come about because of the various flavors of tribalism. Whether it's about race, ethnicity, creed, etc. You are dealt with by what you are, not who you are. Obama doesn't buy indvidualism anymore that the muzzies. |

#9 Let's all agree that humanity a thousand years ago in most parts of the world lived by a set of rules that none of us would want to live by today. Indeed, you could apply that statement to the world of two thousand years ago, or five hundred, or in some ways and places, one hundred. That's not the question. The question is: today, by what rules shall we live? I strongly endorse rules that treat all humans as equal under the law, with equal rights and responsibilities, and foremost the right to think and believe as they wish. That we treat humans as individuals and not as a collective, or group, or as cattle. That governments are created by us, not the reverse, and that there is a thing called due process which shall, repeat shall, be upheld and observed. I believe in leaving other people alone unless they try to impose their rules on me, or worse yet try to take my freedom or my life, or that of my family. If they try that I shall have the right to defend me and them, and I shall be competent, diligent and relentless. I welcome diversity so long as it isn't imposed on me. I treat gently with those who disagree with me so long as they recognize that they may not convince me, and at that point walk away. I don't care who does what in another bedroom as long as the participants are adults and consent. Spare me the details. Just don't go peeking into mine. I'm a Catholic and thus may be a chauvinist in some ways, but I'd suggest that the last seven of the Ten Commandments are a darned good starting point for the organizing rules of the present world. We can go from there. |

#8 Gibbon's description of Christian Egypt doesn't describe much courtly behavior. Especially in Alexandria, they were an unruly lot, given to rioting at the drop of a hat. |

#5 f all the Egyptians converted to Christianity the same street lice would still be crawling; the only difference would be that they'd go to church on Sundays. If all Egyptians converted to Christianity most of them would have far different values: it was Christianity who created the "amour courtois" ideals (Round Table and similar) when for first time in history women would be protected and served. Romans routinely raped their slaves, Germanic women were cattle. It was Christianity (the Church encouraged it) who set as Lancelot or Tristram role models, that is knights who travelled around defeating knavs who had defeated a lady or fought dragons to honor her. In Islam the role model is Muhammad and the jihadist that is a person who makes war on infidels takes slaves and then proceeds to rape them because he has the right to do it. The Muslim chronicle about the conquest of Spain delights in the tens of thousands of "women of great beauty" taken into slavery. Beauty is not very useful when all you want from your slave is cooking and clening the house. These are the values of Islam. You don't get the same proportion of scum when, people are told it is bad to be one than not only to don't tell them but that being one is the right thing to do and non-scum are prey |

#3 ..slavery has also disappeared pretty much in the West too because we give people of other ethnicity, beliefs, and original social standing, equal protection of the laws. Look at the economic and development [count the number of Nobel prizes in physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc] of the West to the that of all of Islam. Then look at the life expectancy comparison. |

#1 Muslim men say to me the family unit has disappeared in the West because we have given women too much power resulting in high divorce rates,single parent families and adultery. Are they right or wrong? |
