    If that's true, I can't figure out why conservatives favor the Iranian opposition (such as this girl) and liberals favor the Iranian regime (as Obama did).

    Kim Davis wasn't refusing service, supported by a slew of RW politicians, strictly based on religious beliefs? And she didn't order her subordinates not to issue those services to individuals based on her religious beliefs, an action again supported by RW politicians?

    And was it the left or the right whom supported the rights of individuals against religious beliefs in support of a secular governance?

    He hasn't.


    It was just another empty campaign promise that he made to his uninformed sheepels.

    Funny you complain about my lack of sources then launch into some lunatic rant without sources. It's ok, we all know the left has trouble with reality

    Point to the spot in those laws where refusing service to gays is mandatory, refusing service to gays IS NOT THE LAW.

    You twisted it in your original post to say people wanted it to be the law. That was wrong.

    Kim Davis was hired to do a job. When she refused to do her job she was fired and rightfully so.

    That is nowhere near what I was talking about.

    Perhaps you could link some of those, because the only people being beaten up are the Trump supporters, and it's the left doing it. We even had them on video confessing to starting trouble at rallys. remember Bob Creamer?

    If the Trump side is doing the same, as you imply you need to show some proof of that. It isn't supported by the facts at all.

    Maybe the thing to ask yourself, honestly, is "would this woman have been subjected to this insane "religious" (*)(*)(*)(*) in a United States governed by the Trump Administration? If the answer is "NO!", then you have the answer that MATTERS!

    I hope she remains safe from the brutal savagery of fundamental Islam.

    Now you can get back to defending Islam like the rest of the dishonest liberals who pretend they care about gay rights.

    It is, because it is only because the left in this country fights against such actions. Kim Davis had rallies of supporters inluding current and former elected government represnratives. Difference here us that the left won. But without their fight, they wouldn't have be legaly entitled at all would they.

    Well, if youre four years old, your father may murder you in front of your family for not wearing a headscarf, so playing chess without one...well you should be stoned at least...
    The religion of peace at its very best..
    Chess..thats odd..I thought some muslim cleric (whatever that is) said it was banned..
    Hypocritical and contradictory to say the least...

    Take up your concern with the govt of Iran who made that decision. Don't try to use this to extend your accusation beyond the govt of Iran and Iran as a whole , to the faith itself. I stand right beside you in condemning this act. You lose me when you turn this into evidence that suggests this represents all or most of Islam rather than a narrow form of Islam, in a specific culture (a conservative Iranian culture)

    What is the difference between being mandated to wear a head scarf and being mandated to wear shoes and shirt at the old steakhouse all you can eat buffet?

    They are RW. They don't want change. They want things to be the way they were and use the force of gov't to put these beliefs into law.
    Just like the RW does or tries.

    That teen is very liberal.

    Good for her. Just what liberals do. Stand up to the hardline, never change, RW status quo.

    If Iran was really conservative why would it allow anyone, especially a woman, to play chess which Mohammed specifically condemned?

    Meanwhile, you can pretend to know not what you talk about.
    I guarantee no one on the left supports radical islam. But the right can't see a difference between normal muslims and the radical ones.

    The teen in the OP would not be allowed to come here, she's in a banned country. But the left is fighting for her right to leave Iran and come here if she wishes. While many on the right fear she will be a future terrorist.

    there is no claim that Mohammed condemned chess specifically but different game so I am not sure that a position on chess delineates a conservative or less conservative version of Islam so much as a different interpretation. https://www.quora.com/Why-has-Islam-banned-chess https://en.chessbase.com/post/are-chess-and-islam-incompatible I will quote from this article https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/21/chess-forbidden-in-islam-rules-saudi-arabia-grand-mufti
    "
    After the 1979 Islamic revolution, playing chess was banned in public in Iran and declared haram, or forbidden, by senior clerics because it was associated with gambling. But in 1988, Iran’s then supreme leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, lifted the ban and said it was permissible as long as it
    was not a means of gambling. Iran now has an active confederation for playing chess and sends players to international games."

    ''Islamo-Nazi theocracy''




    Black Congressman Bobby Rush was thrown out of Congress by Republicans and denied his Constitutional right to speak because he wore a hoody.

    Using your right wing standards, this means that Republicans in Congress are a bunch of ultra fascist Hitlerians as are those who support them.

    Outright false. It is the Democratic Party that says we have to respect all the oppression of the ideology of Islam and if you don't you are a bigot. Only Islomophobic bigots would criticize Iran for this according to the Democratic Party and the Clintons would see this as another fund raising opportunity for the Clinton Foundation.
