That's not a whataboutism. OP brought up the topic that saying these things about Islam is as valid as saying these things about other religions. You're trying to make the point that Islam is uniquely bad ("Except you can't [replace Islam in that quote with another religion].") in the ways that Maguire said. It is therefore on topic for someone to then point out passages from other holy texts which suggest that those religions might be similarly bad.
It is whataboutism if the reply was a reply to my post about the UN resolution denouncing the sexual slavery and exploitation of minors in the Quran. Which seems to be the case as the argument was specific to the UN resolution statement that I made in my comment. Not the OP’s argument.
> We need to have an honest discussion for those arguing in favor of this faith about their positions on these very discriminatory segments of their core texts
and then ignored that most politicians in the US are not Muslim. So again I'm asking you - do you actually believe what you wrote (for all religions), or are you singling out Mamdani and his religion because you're a bigot? I'm having your "honest discussion."
Edit: your original response was just the first sentence, and the edit added that you're scared of Muslims. Not sure that's the flex you think it is.
If you want an "honest discussion" then be honest about your reasons for being scared of Islam and not the other religions which dominate US politics. Pointing out your hypocrisy in singling out Muslims isn't "whataboutism" - it's the honest debate you're looking for.
Oh, so an "emotional appeal"? That's also a logical fallacy btw.
This is about your personal fears of a candidate's religion and not his actions. Otherwise (if this were actually about your fear of indoctrination and dogma) you'd be spouting this same rhetoric for all politicians who believe in Abrahamic religions. Again, hypocrisy. Or did I miss where you said Christianity should be singled out and denounced by the UN?
