    Nudity is not against Islam, it's against civilization.  


    Which civilization is it against?


    Quote from: posthuman on November 24, 2011, 11:16 AM
    Nobody is right or wrong.


    ie: the comforting abandoning of any critical scrutiny or judgment, especially popularly invoked when such scrutiny pertains to aspects of Islam or Islamic culture. Good get out clause, and of course, the hypocrisy policing settles everything definitively.

    You seem to be ignoring the massive herd of elephants in the room. That almost everywhere on earth, being nude in public is wrong, to varying extents.

    Islam is not the reason.

    Try and think of what causes this, instead of taking the simple route in every argument you make.

    The massive herd of elephants is the comparison you made which is frankly embarassing in its falsity - akin to the 'if she was a 12 year old girl' fallacy you drew as your tu quoque.

    If you walked into the street in the nude you would probably be arrested. If you took a nude picture and posted it on your blog you wouldn't be arrested. No comparison. Apples and oranges, again.

    That there are degrees of 'tolerance' and acceptance of the nude form is kind of obvious. That the ideas and assumptions the Egyptian blogger and artist is making a statement about are at least partly rooted in patriarchal ideas intertwined with Islam is also obvious.

    And you didn't mention which civilisation or civilisations nudity was 'against'.

    ... and for varying reasons. However, she isn't running around nude in public, which is the comparative example you've presented, an example that fails to prove your subsequent points since the equivalence isn't there.

    Islam is not the reason.

    To disregard the part religion plays in perpetuating a state of affairs so combustible that putting a nude photo on personal blog causes national and political outcry is to ignore reality.

    Nudity is not against Islam, it's against civilization.  Civilization is about being more than animal, animals are all nudists.

    However, animals are what we are. So there's a tension. It's why the most primitive people in the world today, are nudist. Not because of insight into extraordinary wisdom, they know the least about anything than anyone else. But because they are not civilized.


    Picking your nose is uncivilised. Burping after a meal is uncivilised. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

    I'm not saying you're the same, I'm asking you to demonstrate why you are different in the sense of claiming what is ok and what is not.

    If you are unable to, then stop typing, and allow someone else to try. I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER. I'm exploring it, but you want to end the discussion with "Islam bad, anyone against them good."  bedtime2

    Because if someone asserts something is not ok, the onus is on them to show why it is not ok. Otherwise, why not permit it?

    Yes, we get it. All others have simplicity of thought and intent in contrast to your own expansive, philosophical, questing integrity - which in an irony I'm sure you miss, always ends with labelling everyone else definitively in manners that are not just tu quoque but false too.

    In Egypt the indecency laws are as such:

    Quote
    It applies only to aggressive genital exposure with intent to shock those who want not to see the genitals. The maximum penalty is two years' imprisonment.


    Nobody has to click, but that is not a valid argument against piracy, or child nudity etc. Again, not the same kinds of things I know, but the argument doesn't work as a solitary argument (not clicking).

    Oh and I lied, those are not Egyptian laws, those are OURS.

    So...aggressive is wrong. On a scale of one to ten, was she aggressive or passive, one being passive, ten being militant.

    It IS complicated, anyone simplifying it is not doing her any favours.

    Nope, just you.

    Note: I have no issues with her whatsoever, honestly don't care. I'm wondering though about her arguments, and the Muslim Brotherhoods, because clearly there is some bigger issue here that both her and they have missed or are unaware of.

    Geek I was being ironic.

    (She has no balls, yet has more. The Muslim Brotherhood are scared of one girl, buncha pussies...


    That was my original response and instinct.

    The reason I'm an ex-Muslim is for the same reason why I now raise this issue. I question everything, including myself.

    One interesting question: Why I used genitalia for swear words. And why most swear words are related to genitalia, but murder can be used to describe traffic.

    Fuck, shit, pussy, cunt, asshole, arse, wanker, cock.

    Why the above words have power is related to why nudity is a taboo almost everywhere.

    Must be because of Islam.

    Anyone willingly disregarding the greater injustices against women - the suppression and oppression of women, the segregation, the dehumanisation, the physical and psychological coercion, and the abuse and violence - from which acts of defiance like this are born is not only doing nobody any favours, but also laying down unnecessary conversational speed bumps.

    This personal act of protest is about a wider sense of those injustices. It is you who are over-simplifying this, if anyone, by not making reasonable distinctions between individual acts of nudity and maintaining that they are all equal for the sake of your argument regardless of place, circumstances, social and moral climate, age, etc.

    Another failure. You were indeed addressing it to me but thats not what I was getting at. I said your snide caricature fails because it is not correct, so it fails as a piece of rhetoric.

    Having said that, snide is as snide does, which I make an allowance for.

    I think he's saying that because as a man he has never experienced the injustices and humiliations that a woman experiences (which he suggests is caused by you having been a victim of domestic abuse) he is capable of bringing an objective insight to the discussion that you are not able to bring, whilst your experiences and insights are possibly biased and conditioned and in some ways less objective.
