I hear that Muslims think that anyone that is not blessed in their religion, even infants, will go to hell. They have a single religious leader that has absolute control over their theocratic state and has influence over leaders from around the world (historically, even power over them). They have a history of holy wars, torture of those of other faith, and holding back any knowledge and scientific progress that challenges their doctrine. They adorn their holy places with devices of torture and execution. And they practice ritualistic cannibalism of a holy man regularly, even feeding it to their children.

Oh sorry... that's Catholics.

You're just describing abrahamic religions. This thread is honestly concerning. I grew up in the middle east and I hate seeing this much tolerance of Islam because I experienced the worst of it but oh no people think it's cool and trendy to allow the athan to play t times a day in little fucking Mogadishu now

Fuck any public broadcasting of religion and separate church and state

Yes, it's popular among the youth in the USA/Canada and Europe to be very accepting of Islam as if it's as benign as any other religion. And people (westerners) respect the hijab, oppression of women, and it's socially acceptable somehow now that they can drink and have sex but not eat pork and call themselves good Muslims. If anything they bash Christianity and Judaism extra hard because that is the status quo and give some kind of social pass to Islam because they are discriminated against in Canada or something? It's pathetic to be honest with you

It is as benign as any other religion. That is to say that none of them are benign

I mean, fair enough. I'll admit I'm biased against Islam because of my experiences and upbringing but there is some weird exception progressives seem to have for Muslims

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Because muslims are overly criticised and targeted specifically for their religion in the West.

Muslims shouldn't be targeted because they are Muslims.

And

Religion doesn't have its place in a progressive society.

There are 2 distinct issues, but they are almost always conflated, because it makes it easy to derail the discussions and debates.

It wasn't near as loud among them until the Free Palestine movement. It was there, but FP put it more at the forefront in online circles.

Maybe in the states but in Canada and Europe its been prevalent for the last 10 years at least. Us Arabs are now the minority flavor of the week for white sympathy, and young people who don't know any better think they should suddenly tolerate our intolerance because we're disenfranchised. And that sucks because 10 years down the line some radical fuck is gonna do some extremist bullshit in "little Mogadishu" and anti-arab sentiment will become popular again, rinse and repeat
