I had no idea he was Muslim.
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.
Jihad doesn't mean punishment. You mean sharia law? Also the acid comment is just absurdly made up. Rejecting a marriage proposal doesn't justify even verbal abuse, idk what sources you have. Just spouting bs.
Not saying it's widespread but it definitely happens. This is an example OP might be referring to. https://www.deccanherald.com/world/three-women-face-acid-attack-in-punjab-province-of-pakistan-3175196
You linked a crime tho. How and which sect is justifying it?
It's so normal to be islamophobic smh
Did I say it's not a crime? I'm not defending it, I only linked it because it is probably an example of what the other person was referring to.
Except it's not an example.
You don't have to say everything, it's implied. You chimed into the conversation with a useless example no one asked for. Could you have also read what you linked and understood if it's irrelevant, but you dont cause it doesnt fit with your muslims=bad narrative. Fk off.
Oh pardon me for chiming into your conversation on a public forum! Get over yourself, you act like you're interested in a conversation but all you want is confirmation of what your already think.
You do get that your linked example wasn't an example of what was being referred to though, right?
I'm not interested in the conversation. Go somewhere else racist.
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.
You really can't read or comprehend huh. IntereInteresting individual.
They are not. You are. I read the links you gave and none of them provide any "sect" or blame any specific person or group. Do you understand english? No one justifies this. I'm not saying there aren't horrendous people that do but not anyone that does it based on a pronciple, book, etc.
So you claim some jews to be baby killers because some extremist was boasting about it in an US university? It's an absurd statement just like this. Stop making up narratives from an example. I asked a source not an acid victim example.
Fk off islamophobe
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.
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?
You learn the definition first. Why are you afraid of learning. Define "sect".
You are naming armed rebels, not sects. Goodbye.
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.
