rebukes?
Reza did a good job
Putting "DOES ISLAM PROMOTE VIOLENCE" across the screen, using a video clip of Netanyahu and repeating generalizations. Just goes to show you another reason its all about the ratings not about ignorance but a deliberate position the networks have which is to eat the 'demonic Muslim' narrative up.
Female Genitle Mutilation goes back to Ancient times... its practiced by Christians, Muslims, other faiths.. doesn't matter... it goes way back
And beheading is a tool of the House of Saud and they do it to people for non violent crimes
Nejdi tribal laws govern the Kingdom

fukk Reza Aslan
Dude is one of those "academic" christians who relies on theodicy (an actual word unfortunately) to try and weasel his way out of designing his special theology.
Stop being a p*ssy PC person and just admit religion is ENTIRELY bullshyt.
You're better than this.

Fukk your corny debates
lol...this conversation is not about whether religion is bullshyt or not. It's about to what degree Islam affects of a lot of the sociopolitical climate in nations where it is the dominant religion.
You're so emotional about religion you can't even think about how it contextually pertains to a topic, and just have to blurt out "religion is bullshyt!" for no reason.
And Reza Aslan is a lot smarter than you, so chill.

Reza Aslan is adept at evading legit criticism and I would gladly trollop that clown if given the chance.
A lot of people would.
he appeals to people wanting to send the image of being a moderate theologian under the guise of "harmony"
he's a clown and any attempt at even suggesting otherwise makes me consider someone like him dangerous.
Literally.
Furthermore, religious people never get any brownie points from me (NEVER) when they want to talk about greater geopolitical influence of harmful beliefs since they'll always refuse to adopt any responsibility for their fukked up beliefs.
fukk Reza Aslan and anyone that likes him.

Reza Aslan would laugh at you...seriously. He wouldn't even be able to take you seriously.Who gives a fukk what a guy who writes a fictional story (as if there are non-fictional ones) about the jesus of the bible just to create bullshyt narratives about his idealistic forms of an entity he doesn't even believe in??? HES A MUSLIM!
Who gives a fukk with he thinks?!
Stop equating degrees with actual knowledge cause they're not created equally.
Hes a theologian. Not a historian. Let him stick to the sand lot
Do better @Mephistopheles

Alright man.
Exactly.
fukk outta here.
Stop apologizing for these clowns.
Academic "theologians" are the most intellectually daft and dishonest people out here.

Man stfu. You're making yourself look so stupid right now.
You didn't even address the point of debate at all. All you've said is say "religion is bullshyt" (which I don't even disagree with), and "I don't like Reza Aslan."
You're just using this thread as a tool to vent about how much you detest religion rather than actually discuss the topic. When I see stuff like this I can understand @BarNone 's rule about moving any thread that involves religion to free speech.
Whats to address?
Reza danced and tried to evade the role islam has in the very concepts being discussed like female mutilation or women in politics then tries to smile and charm his way out of THAT by saying that its a christian and "african" thing
fukk that asswipe and his charlatan ways
Because you got your liberal cherry hole wet thinking Aslan had something to offer to the discussion about debating religion.
he's a complete tool lacking ANY sort of valuable criticism.
Everything Maher said was correct.
Aslan isn't even qualified to talk about how Maher skipped over geopolitical infuences as opposed to Islam.
Look at your very link:
ASLAN: Stop saying things like "Muslim countries."
LEMON: In Pakistan, women are still being stoned to death.
ASLAN: And that's a problem for Pakistan. You're right. So, let's criticize Pakistan.
LEMON: He's making a clear distinction there. He says it's not militants, it's not Islam; it's militant Islam. Do you understand his distinction there? Is he correct?
ASLAN: Well, he's correct in talking about militant Islam being a problem.
He is absolutely incorrect in talking about ISIS equaling Hamas. That's just ridiculous. No one takes him seriously when he says things like that. And, frankly, it's precisely why, under his leadership, Israel has become so incredibly isolated from the rest of the global community.
Those kinds of statements are illogical, they're irrational, they're so obviously propagandistic. In fact, he went so far as to then bring up the Nazis, which has become kind of a verbal tick for him whenever he brings up either Hamas or ISIS.
Again, these kinds of oversimplifications I think only cause more danger. There is a very real problem. ISIS is a problem. Al Qaeda is a problem. These militant Islamic groups like Hamas, like Hezbollah, like the Taliban have to be dealt with. But it doesn't actually help us to deal with them when, instead of talking about rational conflicts, rational criticisms of a particular religion, we instead so easily slip into bigotry by simply painting everyone with a single brush, as we have been doing in this conversation, mind you.
