If shes going to have her kids taken from her, so should all the nutjob members of the westboro baptist church who parade their children the same way

[–]Yandrosloc 0 points1 point ago

I am fine with that too. Teaching a belief is one thing but teaching actual hate that advocates or desires violence against others is child abuse. Kids can be taken away when a parent gives them drugs or are even born addicted because it is harmful to the child, hate is just as dangerous.

BEHEAD THOSE WHO INSULT THE PROPHET!

And of those people, start with the Muslims.

She is not wearing a proper hijab. Right?

[–]junction182736 1 point2 points ago

Isn't there supposed to be a "(pbuh)" after every mention of the Prophet (pbuh)? Get's kind of tedious to do this every time you refer to Him (pbuh) so I can understand why it wouldn't be on the sign referring to Mohammed (pbuh).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide

Genocide is "the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group",[1]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide#Genocide_as_a_crime

...any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

[...]

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Is this a line we are willing to cross?

[–]supergenius1337 5 points6 points ago

I feel this to be a false equivalence. What is being proposed here doesn't seem like genocide because OP isn't suggesting taking the kids because the parents are Muslim, OP is suggesting taking the kids because the parents are batshit.
