Substance Abuse Rehabilitation: Is It True That Muslims Almost Always Reject Criticism of Islam?
Question by majordun: Is it true that Muslims almost always reject criticism of Islam?
11/21/10 VOA: The U.N. General Assembly committee that deals with human rights issues has adopted a resolution condemning widespread human rights abuses in Iran. The resolution was drafted by Canada and co-sponsored by 42 other countries. Canadian U.N. Ambassador John McNee, said, “The members of this committee cannot ignore Iran’s continued human rights violations: stonings, torture, flogging, amputations, executions of juveniles, executions by strangulation, continuing discrimination against women and minorities, and a persistent failure to uphold due process. Mr. Chair, these violations continue and continue to worsen.”
The response from Iranian human rights chief Mohammad Javad Larijani Larijani was predictable: “Let me make it quite clear that the United States of America is the mastermind and the main provocateur, and as far as the substance is concerned this text does not have anything to do with human rights and its promotion.” Isn’t that the standard response when anyone criticizes Islam? “You’re discriminating against us because we’re Muslims!”
Have Any of You Watched That Show Called “Intervention”?
Question by Grandma: Have any of you watched that show called “Intervention”?
Most of those people they talk into going for treatment are sober for awhile after and start back up, then they advertise for more people to come forward for help. It doesn’t look very successful. It looks like there’s a big failure rate. What do you think of that show? And is the failure rate usually that high?
Best answer:
Answer by E-ma
I have seen the show.
I think the biggest problem with the failure rate is that these people are not ready to quit when they are sent to rehab.
I know that for abused spouses, the national average for leaving an abusive relationship takes 7 attempts. (They love the abuser, hate being abused.)
So I think it would be the same or higher when trying to leave an addiction that makes someone feel good.
