I agree. However, if our scholars were more vocal about it not being OK for the commons to legislate and to forcefully take more than half of folks' earnings and give them to other people, these practices wouldn't be commonly accepted in the Muslim lands as they are today. Try to convince the average Muslim that democracy is unislamic and you'll see what I mean.

Aha, you see, you like you Virginia Woolf.

>>2195093
What would you say are your favorite authors?

>>2195069
I completely agree with what you're saying.

>>2195030
But you should, you should. I think you should read it.

Are you referring to the 'capitalist' in my trip? I don't think you'd disagree that Islamic economics don't depart from the principles of the free market. All limitations on the operation of the free market (i.e. forbidding certain products that would otherwise have demand on them) are not made for economic purposes, as opposed to the limitations made in socialist and Keynesian systems.

Bros, why won't you come at me? Come at me, bros!

A visually appealing one. One that conveys my world-view.

I'm not advocating Hinduism. Why shouldn't I advocate someone to look into an erroneous world-view?

OP, you see that guy with the long post? That's the 99% I was speaking of. If you're really interested in Middle Eastern, i.e. Indic, religion, you'd better off learning about Hinduism, otherwise I see no reason why you should make the jump. It's now nearly impossible to separate original Buddhism from the neo-spiritual and new-age non-sense attached to it in the West.

I'm finding it rather difficult believing that. It's extremely unlikely that you would be interested in the actual tradition, rather than the Western deformity based on it, as there are many traditions that are better established and more relevant to you, assuming that you are a Westerner.

Now I might be wrong, and you might be indeed interested in the original tradition, but you must know that for every Westerner like yourself, there are 99 hipsters and hollywood-heads following the latest trend in neo-spirituality.

How to become a Buddhist, is that what you're asking for? Here you go: wear everything two sizes smaller and sport faux medical glasses with thick black rims and go out for a few %Occupy events while having a disinterested attitude about it. Or you can read the Doctrine of Awakening by Julius Evola and understand how the western neo-spiritual, feel-good thing called 'Buddhism' has nothing to do with the Ancient tradition with the same name and stop being a f****t.

2/2

You tried to find something with which to wipe the blood and sweat off your face as you sat on your desk. Your boss tells you to take the morning off. You wenbt to the public hospital. You've consumed the three tissue packets by the time you were waiting for your turn in the emergency room. The male nurse told you to wait further and said that it was just a cut. You decided to go to a nearby private clinic. You waited for a taxi. You walked back in as you started to feel dizzy. You begged. You got yelled at by the nurse and thrown out by the security when your voice got loud. You decided to walk to the clinic as no taxis seemed to be around. You got a block away before you got too dizzy. You walked into an alley to sit on some stairs. You collapsed before you reached there. Is this what happened?

'Maybe. I don't remember.'

'You woke up. you contemplated the street below your apartment. You took nostalgic pleasure in the mix of the dark early morning sky, the cool breeze of that late May day, and the drone sound of trafic. You cut yourself badly in the chin while shaving. You couldn't find any bandages. You found that the pharmacy was still closed. You bought a small packet of tissues and applied one to your chin. Your car wouldn't start. You threw the tissue away and got into a taxi. You noticed the driver looking at you. Your chin was running with blood You finished the packet before getting off. You went directly to the toilet after getting to work. You tried to clean the blood off your shirt but it only made the stain worse.

He could've developed a case of hemophilia. As for the hospitable scenario, it's very likely in some hospitals. I know that it would be a nightmare to get to see a doctor for a shaving cut in many hospitals in my country, Morocco.

Are you talking about a thread concerning feminism? Is that the trip you're talking about?

I apologize for not being able to continue this for now. Maybe our descussion will be assumed some time later.

But before I go I would like to ask the person conversing with Deep&Edgy why does he admit hierarchy between species but not between individuals of the human species.

♥onionring♥, where are you?

Your understanding is correct. And yes, alhmadulillah, I count myself in the Mohammadan Nation, although I'm unworthy of it.

This is true within the frame of modern society, though modern societ is basless and it must be abolished. Nihilism and Absolute anarchy are the most consistent doctrines withing the modern Western frame, the first is due to subjectivism and the second is due to liberalism and democracy. If a person claims to believe in liberalism and democracy yet thinks bounds should be made on anyone, be it an infant, a criminal etc is inconsistent in his claim, though bounds must indeed be made on people because liberalism and democracy are erroneous.

>>1566704
Why are you then directing your arguments to me, with such sentimentalism may I add, if you don't think they have some kind of superiority over my arguments? Only madmen throw purposeless words, which is the reason why we ignore them.

>>1566642
What I meant to say is that people are inequal de facto and they should be so de jure. In other words, the inequality of men ought to be observed.

>>1566663
I tried to get to /new/ a couple of weeks a go, you can imagine my surprise! I can't say I didn't see it coming, though. they really should make a /pol/ or /rel/.

Biological differences are the basis of patriarchy indeed, but not in a direct fashion. These difference are the main source behind natural hierarchy. Everything in the universe submits to this hierarchy, family included, for a family cannot function if a more or less clear hierarchy was affirmed between the members.

The Normal order is that man assumes the leading role in the family. Someone who opposes this might either oppose hierarchy, or oppose hierarchy solely within family, or oppose it just between man and his wife; or believes that women ought to assume man's role.

Since you are attempting to argue with me on this, you must believe that your stance is superior to mine, which means you don't deny hierarchy as a reality. I also assume that you consent on children being given a very limted stature withing the leadership of the family, so the second possibility is gone.

As for the third, I say that hierarchy btween men and women, without dwelling on the stature of one vis-à-vis the other, ought to be affirmed due to the inevitability of strife if both parties tried to co-direct the family, for it would be a constant battle at leadership.

If you think that women should exchange roles with men, you would have to give a reason for this, because such a drastic change, which would require an entire re-inovation of all the institutions of state and society, cannot be made without a reason. This is without mentioning that man actually has physical and spiritual qualities to assumes this position (it is not a coincidence that virtue is derived from vir, man that is).

Feminists, what's your objection on patriarchal society?

I should state that men are inequal both de facto and de jure. I think you would want to attempt to refute this first.
