FGM is practiced in African countries, mostly, so that says more about the culture than the religion.

Now provide a list of which of those countries practice FGM. They almost all in Africa, therefore it's something intrinsic to culture rather than to Islam

Not in the least. But it's odd that you keep bringing up Jews as your defense. Muslims do not believe what Jesus said about who He is. Jesus is GOD. That is not respect. They are giving Him a lower position, demoting Him. That is in no way respect. Again, I'm stunned that a Christian would say such a thing. I don't what church you attend but they sure aren't preaching the truth.

I'm not bringing up Jews as a defense, but as a contrast. Blessing someone shows respect. Cursing someone shows disrespect.

Has nothing to do with taking a name in vain. It has everything to do with claiming something with your mouth and not even believing what you say. Respect goes beyond mere words. The actions and the words don't align when that is the case it is the words that are the lie. So they pay a false pretense with words as actions say otherwise.

It has everything to do with taking God's name in vain. Claiming to believe Jesus is lord, but not doing what he says is hypocrisy. Muslims don't claim to believe Jesus is lord, so they can't take his name to themselves in vain like so many Christians do. They merely believe he was a prophet, which he was, and show respect to him in that regard, although they are totally in error due to their blindness about who he fully is. For what they know, they do show respect towards his name. It's just dumb to claim otherwise

You and them believe they are honoring him because they respect him as a prophet. Yet Christ said he is God. The honor that they and you believe they pay is a lie. The honor is false because it does not honor the truth. The truth is Christ is God and what you do to the least you do unto him. They enslave and kill those who are believers they do this to Christ and you have respect for their mere words you are foolish.

Their blindness is due to they follow in the way of Cain, that is self righteousness. The truth has been preached and men love darkness rather than light. Because the light shows the filthy rags our self righteousness is.

- Carlson (then) contrasts this with his own experiences in the
Middle East. “I travel a lot in the Middle East. It’s
Countries governed by Sharia law. And you go there a .
and it’s incredible to be in a place that has pride in itself
that believes in its religion and culture, that thinks ‘we’re on to something.’ That kind of self-confidence is what
creates stability… and hospitality.”

- He said "Sharia Law has made Islamic societies more advanced than the West.”

Stability he said? He must be having a laugh- Every country under Sharia is in eternal state of conflict. They are busy fighting over who is in power, who has the real islam?

I didnt know Tucker has gone this far down the deep end.

It doesn't matter, they do not believe Jesus and who He said He was. That's why He was upset with the religious hierarchy, the Pharisees, which you love to use as an example, did not believe He was God as He claimed. There are people who say Jesus was a good man, again, that's wrong. Jesus is God. To say He is less is disrespect and not honoring who He is.

What did I say? FGM is mostly practiced in Africa. Egypt is Africa. Some of the countries you listed don't even come up in the list of countries where it is practised. You're trying to associate FGM with Islam, but it's obviously a cultural thing

I don't believe that you are a single-minded follower of Christ, but I still strive to show you respect. Not showing respect to you because I don't believe your words would be infantile and wrong.

The ability to differentiate or add subtlety is not well tolerated for those who need security and comfort by keeping things simple, in "this group good" "this group bad"
Just sayin. ;)

Almost every country that allows FGM is a Muslim country that practice Islam.

It is practiced in countries where Islam is by far the religion of the country.
