That's the thing though, don't give somebody the room to accuse you of something like that. If you are going to critique Islam don't do it from your first breath, think about it, if you speak positively of Islam or at least bring up a couple of good points, people will be less likely to accuse you of Islam-hating when you surreptitiously slip in a criticism or two. At least that displays to people that you consider things carefully, giving your criticism extra weight and leaving them sounding stupid if they accuse you of any phobia.

Welcome back by the way.

It is an ideology thing. They won’t admit it, but there are white supremacists who think Islam is the black religion and Christianity is the white religion. Yes, they are that retarded.

It's Leftists who think that.

Bill Maher even discussed this very point on his show with Sam Harris iirc.

Even then the context around it matters. The same people disparaging Islam all the time for things like bringing Shariah Law here are the same people who want to make it illegal for LGBTQ people to marry because of religions.

There are literally sharia courts in michigan.

Of course. There's no need to shut down conversations around Islam. And I doubt any Muslim would ask you to.

However when people have nothing to contribute except throwing out derogatory names, then we are left to assume they just want to incite hate.

Thanks.

For the record, I did lurk a bit, and that CDTM1 and CDTM2 was not me.

Why would I risk a perma ban over a 30 day suspension?

Yeah, that's a good point, people who think women were put here to be slutty chefs really don't have much room to condemn Islam's attitude towards women, whether supposed or not.

I stand by my point as a general rule, if you actually take the time to study other religions, then you're far less likely to be called out for having any misgivings about them as you've displayed a willingness to take all info on board and not just parrot Discord talking points. 'They control the banks', for example.

I like bacon and beer. **** you islam. Lol

I even said that it wasn't you.

It's obvious who the culprit was...

Not obvious to me. Tell me!

lol there is nothing good to say sbout Islam and I really don't care if that hurts people's fee fees when I say it. They can call me "Islamaphobe" all they like.

What you just said is like saying "if you are going to critique Naziism at least say some good things about it first then people will be less likely to accuse you of nazi-hating" lol. 😂

Not saying all muslims are evil people. In fact, there are actually probably lots of good ones but their religion is shitty and so was their pedophilic warmongering "prophet".

I feel the same way towards Roman Catholicism. I strongly dislike the pagan, fake Christian religion but I have nothing against most roman catholic people. It's mostly the pope, cardinals, and priests that I don't like.

I don't believe most on the right really believe all Muslim's are terrorists though.

For that matter, I've defended Muslime from left wing Canadian's, of all people, so it isn't an idealogy thing.

Yeah he is making a strawman argument as he always does.

Bingo.

One of the reasons Trump appeals to Trumpers. eg Ethneo

A supply chain crisis... an inflation crisis... a middle east crisis...a border crisis... a worker shortage crisis... a civil rights crisis... etc, etc, etc, etc...

This joke of a presidency is shaping up to be even worse than Jimmy Carter's and Obama's combined lmao and ol' Joe hasn't even been president for a full year yet lol.

But hey, at least he ain't tweeting mean things, amirite? 😆

You don't have to find any good points in regards to Nazi's or anything else really, the main point was that a person should educate themselves a little and not make silly uninformed comments that they bleat out like the edgelord sheep that they are.

I'll take your challenge though; The unemployment rate in Germany under the Nazi regime fell by 20% in their first year of rule.

The Nazi Party introduced 'Good Samaritan' and 'Duty To Rescue' laws in France, now granted, you could look at that as them using the populace to spy on the populace, but many of those laws still stand to this day.

Now go fix the wheels on your house. 😂

Yesterday I was in the Safeway about a mile from my house, the shelves where stocked as normal. So likely another manufactured pic from Trumpers, they love their fake news.

Supermarket chains around here are complaining they can't get a lot of things now.

Shelves aren't empty, but certain staples just aren't there right now.
