    Define “sect.”

    They literally do specifically name groups, I’ve posted this repeatedly, this is not 1 victim:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_attack

    Afghanistan

    Such attacks or threats against women who failed to wear hijab, dress “modestly” or otherwise threaten traditional norms have been reported in Afghanistan.[111] In November 2008, extremists subjected girls to acid attacks for attending school.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/14/world/asia/14kandahar.html

    The attacks appeared to be the work of the Taliban, the fundamentalist movement that is battling the government and the American-led coalition. Banning girls from school was one of the most notorious symbols of the Taliban’s rule before they were ousted from power in November 2001.

    The Levant

    In 1983, acid attacks were reported to be carried out by Mujama al-Islamiya against men and women who spoke out against the Mujama in the Islamic University of Gaza.[123] Additional attacks by Mujama al-Islamiya were reported through 1986

    During the First Intifada, Hamas and other Islamist factions conducted an organized intimidation of women to dress “modestly” or wear the hijab. Circulars were distributed specifying proper modest dress and behavior. Women who did not conform to these expectations, or to “morality expectations” of secular factions, were vulnerable to attacks which included pouring acid on their bodies, rock pelting, threats, and even rape.[125][123][126] B’Tselem has also documented additional attacks with acid in specific attacks involving women in a collaboration context.

    In 2006–07, as part of a wider campaign to enforce Islamist moral conduct, the al-Qaida affiliated “Suyuf al-Haq” (Swords of Righteousness) claimed to have thrown acid on the faces of “immodestly” dressed woman in Gaza as well as engaging in intimidation via threats.

    The Sharia code of qisas, or equivalence justice, required a caught perpetrator of acid violence to pay a fine and may be blinded with acid in both eyes.[7] Under Iranian law, victims or their families can ask a court’s permission to enact “qisas” either by taking the perpetrator’s life in murder cases or inflicting an equivalent injury on his or her body.[118] One victim, Ameneh Bahrami, sentenced her attacker to be blinded in 2008

    if they reject things like being trafficked or having premarital sex with them, because that’s what those women are supposed to do within tbe religion

    OK, so the reading comprehension thing was projection on your part. I’m saying here that Islam expects women to reject premarital sex and human trafficking, so they won’t be punished for performing to expectations by saying no to these things (which are not allowed in Islam and not okay with pretty much any Islamic person) - but Tate does this and is a recent convert to Islam. This defies Islamic teaching.

    Tell me - do YOU think Tate is a good Muslim? Does he represent Muslim values?

    It’s not absurd. It’s reality.

    Sounds like I was correct, and there were more groups than just the Taliban that were listed anyway.

    I wasn’t speaking “for” Muslims, I was pointing out the incongruence in Tate’s behavior and how that will clash with Muslim values and possibly extremists, made aware because he’s infamous.

    No one talks about israeli oppression or bizarre jewish laws when speaking up against anti-sematism.

    I wasn’t speaking up against Islamophobia. I was talking about how a recent convert to Islam, who is a horrible terrible human trafficker and rapist, is so bad that he may trigger the ire of extremists in the religion he joined TO SCAM PEOPLE via crypto. That’s why they were mentioned- as a comparison to Tate.

    And I see Jewish hate often now that it’s cool to hate Israel, and Indian hate to a lesser degree. Further, you bringing up Jews and Indians - they are pretty classic groups many Muslims hate. So you’re entirely aware they indeed get criticism and that’s probably why you specifically mention them and not Christians. Seems racist of you.

    “Hey, they have the right to live. Even though they are probably bombers, don’t harm them!” Tired of this bs

    I wasn’t talking about rights. You’re tired of BS you’re inventing to be upset about, maybe stop doing that.

    You’re welcome to disregard the NYT link and see the other examples listed.

    There’s morally allowed abuses of women in some sects, but they have to be seen as justified in some regard - eg rejecting a MARRIAGE proposal might result in an acid attack

    Yes, women aren’t going to be attacked by these same extremist men if they reject things like being trafficked or having premarital sex with them, because that’s what those women are supposed to do within tbe religion. They get attacked for things like rejecting Islam, rejecting hair covers, or rejecting MARRIAGE proposals - and the Tates aren’t marrying these women - that’s a big deal. They are acting way outside of the norms of Islam in general, even the extreme sides that don’t tend to treat women well.

    And btw! I’m repeating info from LITERAL SURVIVORS OF ACID ATTACKS WHO ARE MUSLIM. So if they are Islamophobic, take it up with them.

    Here, and I also never said it was widespread and was simply comparing the “worst” treatment of women in Islam to the treatment the Tates give women, and was comparing how their abuse of women is WELL outside of anything even extremists would tolerate. Premarital sex is a huge no no, especially trafficking women, filming them, pimping them- that’s HIGHLY offensive to Islamic beliefs. They are not compatible with the morals of Islam.

    Jihad means to fight against evil - Tate’s actions are evil in the eyes of Islam and most people in the world.

    I don’t mean Sharia Law.

    I never said acid attacks are justified. I’m saying that even to these men who attack women with acid, what the Tates are doing and did is abhorrent to even someone like that.

    And here, about acid attacks by Islamic groups, there’s a bunch, idk why you all who literally don’t care about women even slightly have to act like you know anything about acid attacks or what women go through, but you have to deny it outright because…?

    I gave sources further down the chain and already explained acid attacks are worldwide and not confined to Islam.

    I literally already did, it’s in the Wikipedia article I linked, in the region area. Clearly you didn’t bother to look.

    And I’m totally comfortable saying that there are Jewish extremist groups who commit terrorism to harm others as well. And there’s Christian and Buddhist groups that do that as well. It’s not antisemitic or Islamophobic to literally describe what people are doing, per survivors from those groups. That it makes those specific Islamic groups look bad is, well, on them. Don’t burn people with acid. Don’t genocide Gazans. Etc.

    And as I’ve already said, yes, other people and other groups burn people with acid too. That’s not really relevant to my original comment though, which is about how Islamic sects will likely not tolerate someone like the Tates, even if those same people do other things that harm women. Yes, there is abuse of women in Islam with some groups, including acid attacks, but that abuse is often informed by the moral code of those practitioners and absolutely nothing the Tates do is justifiable by the religion. The idea of the Prophet Mohammed being okay with sex trafficking - that’s extremely offensive. It’s an extreme moral incompatibility that will likely result in conflict since he is harming real people pretty indiscriminately.

    He converted in 2022 to boost his standing in Dubai with crypto traders

    The funny thing is, Muslims will absolutely discipline their own, and most tend to not like abuse of women, especially how Tate does it. There’s morally allowed abuses of women in some sects, but they have to be seen as justified in some regard - eg rejecting a MARRIAGE proposal might result in an acid attack. A man preying on women to sleep with him, no marriage, like how Tate does it and speaks about it, goes against everything I’m aware of in the Quran and could result in a jihad response afaik (not violent jihad per se).

    He’s just so disrespectful and arrogant he thinks no one will touch him.
