In reply to the discussion: Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood calls for 'day of rage' [View all]Xyzse
(8,217 posts)I may have to agree that painting on broad brush strokes is wrong, though you seem to have done the same thing. Granted, many people do it here as well with impunity depending on the subject.
Also, it looks like some have not broken down what you have mentioned to the points of it.
Please note, that in DU and many other boards, some zero in on the weakest part of the post. It tends to be the one that can be considered inflammatory out of context.
So here goes to better the post:
1 - Mention the actual group which is the "Muslim Brotherhood". Not the actual faith. In not making that distinction, which should have been implied from the topic, it allows some to consider it a broad painting of many of just that particular faith.
2 - Clarify that what you are speaking out against is "Religious Fundamentalism" and comparing their extreme to the Fundamentalism in America which you say is much less extreme than that.
3 - The point that some can not handle being civilized without being under a dictator is perhaps the point of contention in your post.
See, I don't actually think that is the case. However, I can see how the brotherhood was trying to remake Egypt in to a far more theocratic governing body.
Must say though, by relegating people as animals got you in to trouble. Try to avoid that and I think you'll do fine.
