Scroll back a bit on the recent topics Derby. Hype is full of it. I’m sure he can defend his extreme viewpoints himself. And by the way, I never said he vilified Jews, but there are plenty on the Left that do.
And if you class me as a right winger, tell me where I have posted support of any fascist government?
I didn't classify you as a right winger but mearly said the right supports fascist governments around the world in the same way the left supports terrorist ones.
I've been reading all of Hyperions stuff and he has never posted anti-Jewish stuff and compared to the anti-Islamic racist garbage that is prevalent Hyperions "anti-semitism" amounts to a swift kiss on the cheek.
EyeBrock EyeBrock:
I believe in fairness. I'd like a press/media that reports the facts instead of the editorialising we get from the CBC & CTV.
The problem is that, that is only your opinion. The left wing media bias myth has been just that.
EyeBrock EyeBrock:
I'd like to see efforts made to ease the plight of women, gays and other oppressed minorities around the world. I don't like to see these states getting a free-pass from our media.
They don't and never have. Plenty of groups have long been involved in supporting the rights of those groups its just that so many right wingers lump those groups in with the other bleeding hearts such as Greenpeace, PETA, and the WWF.
In fact it is groups like those that have been the ones responsible for those incidents where public outrage has preventing teachers from getting whipped and women from getting stoned.
EyeBrock EyeBrock:
You can encapsulate the hypocrisy of our Toronto-centric and left of centre media with the 'Queers against Israeli apartheid' BS that’s going on with Toronto’s Pride march.
This highlights why you have the POV you do. A single group
that hadn't even been given permission yet means the entire parade was at fault. Toronto centric? Meaning what? The parade was in Toronto. I was at the London, Brighton, and Sydney pride parades and they were no different.
EyeBrock EyeBrock:
How many gay rights parades are there in any Arab country, let alone Gaza?
Something is rotten in the Arab and Muslim world.
Or Israel. Judaism isn't known for its acceptance of homosexuality nor womens rights either.
The problem is that no matter what westerners simple expect Muslims to completely and immediately adopt western mentality and morality. In other words we are demanding that they live their lives as we dictate. Isn't that just what you say they are doing to us?
We took a long time adjusting to homosexuality and indeed have a long way to go. You have posted that the Muslims are trapped in the 15th century so by my count they have at least another 500 years go oppressing gays just like our society did.
EyeBrock EyeBrock:
Honour killings are the norm, women are chattel and gays are persecuted or murdered just for being gay.
But our society/media highlights everything wrong they can find with Israel. Now we have anti-Semites crawling from under their stones more frequently.
They are not the norm. They are also far more common in places like India where they aren't Muslims.
Once again: Criticism of Israel isn't anti-semetism.
EyeBrock EyeBrock:
I’m not a big fan of Israel, but I do believe in an honest and open discussion. Not addressing the inequalities that people face in Arab countries is excusing the despots.
Again, there are lots of people addressing those problems in Muslim society. The difference is they aren't doing it by denouncing the entire religion or advocating the use of the military to force them to do so.
