@aliamjadrizvi@RezaAslan was right about FGM, but he misses the core point. Turkey/Indonesia aren't exactly bastions of free speech either
@gregoliver_ @aliamjadrizvi they're bastions of male female legal equality which was the point

@rezaaslan well why do you suppose criticism of religion is so taboo, even in a supposedly secular democracy like Turkey?@aliamjadrizvi -
@gregoliver_@aliamjadrizvi If you've spent any time In Turkey you'd know criticism of religion is not taboo at all! No more than in US -
.
@rezaaslan@gregoliver_ Reza, you're very very wrong, again. Read #3. Will give examples too if you want:pic.twitter.com/26m0hzG4r3

@aliamjadrizvi@gregoliver_ Exact same law in India. What's your point? What does it have to with gender equality in law. Focus man! -
@rezaaslan@gregoliver_ You said "criticism of religion not taboo at all" in Turkey. I said you're wrong. It's not just taboo, but illegal. -
@aliamjadrizvi@gregoliver_ "Criticism" not more/less taboo than in India w/ same laws on religious bigotry. UR straining your narrative. -
@rezaaslan@gregoliver_ I'm so confused. Who's defending bad laws in India? Weren't you talking about Turkey?
