    I didn't say that Mohammed invented FGM or even that it started under Islam!

    Can you name two counties that have a different religious majority but have the exact same culture? I will be stunned if you are able to come up with an answer here!

    Can you back this up with a source?

    And that makes Twitter an entertainment platform? Surely you can't be serious!

    The point is, that they are NOT a free speech platform, certainly not if they don't allow offensive speech.

    What do you think he meant then? Can you see no connection whatsoever between Jews and termites in his tweet? Look closely.

    But you don't think that Farrakhan's tweet was "directed as a point to demean or insult others?"

    Well I think that Omar is a legitimate Muslim, so my guess is that she follows some sort of version of Sharia Law. Someone wouldn't be considered as much of a Muslim by Muslim leaders if they DON'T follow at least some version of Sharia Law. Following proscribed religious law is key to Islam. Perhaps liberal/nominal Muslims would be the exception, but they would not be considered as legitimate Muslims by Muslim leaders.

    Yes, because the OT rules are obsolete for Christians now. You can't equate Islam and Christianity, it just doesn't work.

    I'm not sure about her Twitter history, but even if she had a million prior warnings, this tweet should not have been the tweet that got her suspended because it didn't break any Twitter rules. Whereas if she had prior warnings for calling all Muslims "pigs" or something, and then she said it again or something similar and THEN got suspended or banned, that would make sense.

    Well only if the non-Muslim was a homosexual, a women or a black person. If they were all three, then you wouldn't stand a snowflakes chance in HELL!

    Are you saying that you think it would be intentional?

    This one.

    In general, perhaps take a break from the endless questions - most of which lead nowhere except back to your own echo chamber - and embrace refection and research.

    Good luck. :)

    It is so convenient to tell someone to research a section of US Code which doesn't actually exist! :roflol:

    Examples of free speech extending to privately-owned areas do not support your position - the grounds for those rulings are not applicable.

    As I said, they are narrow rulings, limited not only to certain states, but in terms of locale and the extent of free speech permissible.

    This is not my personal opinion. It's a statement of fact - evidenced by the rulings themselves.

    Take the time to take a closer look, and you'll discover this for yourself.

    depends on the instance. There a lot of people involved in daily decisionmaking over there. I'll bet employees take post-it notes and tape dispensers and then tell their kids not to steal too.

    No they are not, and no one should expect them to be.
    They are a business that allows people to post things. And they have rules. And they have advertisers. The advertisers will dictate what they allow and who they allow. For that is the source of revenue.

    I can see a connection, sure. Again, a blanket statement to an entire religion, vs personal attack of an individual. Pretty targeted.

    If she was a strict follower of Sharia, should would not be able to be elected or run for any public office, yes?

    So you agree it predates Islam, agree other religions do it too,... yet you think it's still a Muslim thing and not cultural.
    How utterly pathetic of you.

    That's just dishonest of you. We're talking about FGM... that is not just 1 tiny part of an entire culture, not the entire culture.

    That is admitting you never looked this up and got no clue what you're talking about. lol

    I noted before that I can post such tweets every hour, every day for the rest of my life. We both know I can do this. So I proved my point. And no, I can not say the entire platform is like that. But it's enough to go qualify it as entertainment. Twitter approves this, unlike Loomers slanderous racist comments.

    I agree that it predates Islam and that other religions do it too, yet I DO think that it is a Muslim thing, just not an EXCLUSIVELY Muslim thing. And it IS a cultural thing, but culture is influenced by religion!

    So do you mean that it's done by people from different religions who have the same culture of practising FGM? If so, I misunderstood you. I thought by "same culture" you meant the same entire culture.

    Oh I very much attempted to look it up, but Google didn't know what the hell you are talking about! More to the point, I was asking you to back up your claim. If you are unable to do that, this will tell me all that I need to know about your claim. So how about it? Are you able to or not?

    If they CLAIM to be a free speech platform, then no one should expect them to be a free speech platform? Surely you can't be serious.

    But it doesn't look like Farrakhan is attacking a GROUP?

    What did Loomer "directly" call Omar?

    Do you know that not running for public office is included in ALL versions of Sharia law?

    Dude... THAT culture... PREDATES the religion! We agree on this. Hence it is... the culture influenced the religion that came in last, not the other way around. This is really too dumb to continue on this. Really to dumb.

    You just wrote "I agree that it predates Islam and that other religions do it too"...
    and now I need to source that other religions do it too, while you acknowledge that they do.
    You're doubling down on trolling.... since you're just in the wrong on all of this.
    Thanks for playing.

    Religion can adopt the existing cultural practices and promote them in a way that they were not promoted before the religion came along.

    I agree that other religions do it too, but you specifically said Jews and Christians have done it in the past. Can you cite a source?

    It's not mentioned in the Quran. So you're just guessing without a clue.

    Shows you got no clue what you're talking about nor are you interested in looking it up.
    All you got is guessing based on your already biased opinion. lol
    So obviously I'm not going to help you out with how google works.

    And you're just deflecting away from Loomer,... who made ethnic slurs / slandering comments towards Omar.
