Condemning Religious Injustice
Racism and discrimination are not good.
Wow. I thought this thread would be full of "Muslims never mistreat women," or other such politically correct falsehood.

Tim the turtle, I'd say you nailed it! Your statements are correct. While I don't care for the wording of "discriminating against those who discriminate," we can rightly condemn some actions as truly wrong. While we shouldn't force another country to change, countries can justly take legal action against offenders even if they claim a religious reason for violating the rights of others.I agree with your main sentiment, Vermehlo, however you are being very misleading in your title here. It is in no way racism to condemn those who treat women in such a barbaric fashion, because we would have the exact same reaction if those acts were carried out by whites/blacks/asians etc. etc.
However yes, we do indeed have the right, nay, the duty to try and change the way such people and nations treat women, so long as we do so through moral and legal means. There is no greater hypocrisy than abandoning ones morals in order to force morality on another.
This is absolutely correct. This ought to be enough to convince anyone that morality is not truly subjective. When anyone says, "all morality is subjective," they are actually being thoughtless, even cruel.Rape has NO excuse whatsoever, I don't care who you are.
Though I think I have an idea what western religion you are talking about, that doesn't matter. Westerners do not all follow one religion. I know I'm gonna sound like a broken record, but your quote is made of two entirely unjust stereotypes.its funny how westerners speak badly about eastern religeons when they follw one.
