Yeah, definitely not alt-right. But Harris has jokingly stated that he and some of his fellow Islam critics are a "gateway drug" to the alt-right.. lol

The progressives largescale accept that there isn't some nefarious dangerous bigotry when the Sam Harris Dawkins types criticize Christianity, but they criticize Islam... and everyone loses their minds!

Yeah, there are some exceptions to that rule, but I think that's becoming more and more true, yes.

And there's some irony there: Because progressives are supposed to be... all progressive 'n shit. Meaning they accept homosexuals, want freedom and equality for women, etc. But they oddly defend an ideology that unabashedly subjugates women and despises homosexuals.

Go figure.

I mean does anyone seriously think theres not enough condemnation in the media against Islamist Extremists? Like really?

Dude, look at this situation. Is the specific ideology that leads Islamic extremists to do this being discussed? Are they delving into the awful things from their holy books that might justify this?

Since when a white supremacist does something they sure as shit delve into his life, into his every social media post, etc. But now it's all "well all hate is bad".

It's the same shit the left pulled with Ilhan Omar and anti-semitism. They couldn't just condemn that specific thing, they had to go "all hate is bad!". This is the same side that also whines when someone says "all lives matter" in response to "black lives matter". This is the same side that had zero qualms passing a resolution to go against white supremacy too.

Please do not act like there isn't a double standard here going on. There absolutely is.

The biggest sufferers at the hand of Islamic extremists, are Muslims. Because they were born to countries that follow an Islamic doctrine.

Islam as it exists today, and Western Modern ideals of freedom, tolerance, and acceptance are almost incongruent. Why is this so hard to accept?

Being Muslim does not make you a terrorist. This is stupid hyperbole nonsense. BUT. A MAJORITY of moderate Muslims, many in countries like the U.K. believe in things that fundamentally oppose our way of life.

Thats not a double standard at all Lol

In the first the Horrible Ideology is that of WHITE SUPREMACY

In the second youre trying to make an entire faith and its 1.3billion followers as responsible/dangerous.

Ah....Islam as a religion is all about establishing the supremacy of Islam. More so than other religions....

Plenty of countries that are wealthy, such as Oman, require conversation to marry-in.

Not all Muslims are terrorist. Not all Muslims are bad people. A MAJORITY of moderate Muslims, even in countries like the U.K. believe in things that fundamentally oppose our way of life.

Bingo, they *murder* other people of the same faith who don't measure up! What do these folk think they wanna do to those who aren't even muslim?

There is a double standard. When toxic and violent behavior is coming from a muslim any criticism of it is seen as islamaphobic or as condemning every single god damn muslim in the world.

No, we absolutely do need to talk about the toxic aspects of Islam and what about it leads people to do this shit. There absolutely is a double standard. They can pass resolutions to condemn white supremacy, they can cry like babies about islamahobia, but they can't pass a resolution to condemn anti-semitism cuz the anti-semitism is coming from a muslim.

This story belongs here too:

So what do people think? Necessary? An overreaction?
