Again, you literally just quoted it...

... and pretending you didn't is... yep.
Did you click the link. You can end up in court because of it. It is not bad faith
I posted saying there was a link?

I'm supposed to work out that when Scaff made the post it was before it was edited? If I'm remembering rightly I didn't get an alert saying there was a post after when I had finished editing it. I think this can be put down to a mistake, as in fairness I could have remembered that the link was added as an edit. I will say it wouldn't have hurt to check for links after I said "did you click the link", as I really got lost when Christian Concern came up.

So again, sorry. But it really isn't bad faith.

These are from

If the instruction to not beat women is true, although, in the Quran you are allowed sex slaves


then why is it contradicted here:


and that a husband shouldn't hit his wife "on the face":


Ah reddit, that fine source of material that's not all problematic.

You want to know why it's contradictory? Because all religion is, and Islam doesn't have anything close to a monopoly here, the Bible give instructions to protect house guests by allowing people wanting to attack them gang-rape your daughters, has instructions on the correct way to treat slaves, commands death for kids you bad-mouth parents, and Jesus clearly stated he wasn't here to get rid of these rules, but to uphold them (and Jesus was particularly clear that he was happy to pit families against each other if they didn't follow him). Your 'but Islam' argument holds no water, well unless you cherry-pick and want to engage in bad-faith arguments, which you clearly do, and don't give a damn how problematic your sources are.
How is that bad faith?

You've said I can't rely on posters to look things up and so have to properly cite claims and since I knew you might not know about the coconut case I edited it in.

Of course I apologise for assuming it was readable
Yeah, that's not an apology, but don't worry, I didn't expect a genuine one from you.
but where did the "Christian Concern" thing come from?
You posted a video by them, when I quoted you it was the linked content immediately following the piece you quoted, but I do note that you are still avoiding explaining why you think they are a suitable source to cite. As so far your 'vetting' of sources for bias is clearly non-existent, which leads one to assume you're not looking for accuracy, but for those that confirm the bias's you have,
Also, for at least the third time, what is the Islamic argument against the Taliban banning those images?
Third what, I don't recall you asking me for that once, let alone three times?
I posted saying there was a link?
After you'd edited in the link a good 20 minutes after the original post. Good faith would be to reply and say something along the lines of 'I edited in a link, you may have missed it, here it is again, let me know what you think'.
I'm supposed to work out that when Scaff made the post it was before it was edited? If I'm remembering rightly I didn't get an alert saying there was a post after when I had finished editing it.

I will say it wouldn't have hurt to check for links after I said "did you click the link", as I really got lost when Christian Concern came up.
Ah, I see, it's actually a combination of the site software and myself that's at fault.
So again, sorry. But it really isn't bad faith.
Normally I would give people the benefit of the doubt, but that moment has now well and truly passed.

Step into Reddit or Twitter for reasons why it...erm...is convincing, and the world has moved on from the opinions being shown here.

Argumentum ad Redditum/Twitterum. Possibly the stupidest example of the bandwagon fallacy that I have ever seen. I don't know whether to be impressed or depressed.

Oh joy, the resurgence of ISIS (including in Canada) and almost 1 in 5 prisoners now Muslim in the UK with "convert or get hurt" style conversions rising.

Avengers assemble! We need more "bollards of peace" and to cancel more concerts!

What could go wrong!

If only this could have been predicted....


And back to pictures and video links with no explanation or personal take on it.

This is not 'laying out your case logically', it reads as closer to a weird 'appeal to fear' logical fallacy.

Do better.
 
Safe, effective bike infrastructure saves lives.
Going futher than that:
less designated car space = more space for pedestrians, bikes, and public transport(trams, busses, whatever) + financial benefitting the city for less road repairs, more money for and by public transport (which then could be cheap) + and so on.

Makes for a place that is safe for children, good for health and mind, makes people happy, and all that also being good for climate protection.
