And you are a enough of a regular member to recognize that most of the people who have criticized IANAT in this thread have also been very vocal in their criticisms of the US government and US society over the same issues. I don't think the charges of hypocrisy are entirely appropriate.
No, thats i why they are EXACTLY appropriate.
quote:
In fact, this particular exchange began when IANAT decided to criticize American society for its lack of morality, blaming it on atheism and "cafeteria religion". While there is much for which to criticize the US, I do not believe that the specific charges that IANAT brought up are valid ones. And since he himself thinks that his Islamic state is a worthy model to emulate, criticisms of his model are appropriate.
Well then you must be frothing at the mouth about my accusations that the US is barbaric, cruel, a near Fascism, a great committer of atrocities, and that the bulk of its population are hypocritical racists. Right?
But your nunwillingness to confront these things is NOT an adequate reason for I, or IANAT, witholding our criticism of the US. I will NOT be held to the US's self regarding fictions and kneejerk demonisation of all critics.
