    Yeah Islam is problematic, like all the other big religions of the world, which you are all aware of I assume.

    Islam is also, as you may not be aware? a target of xenophobia used by politicians in majority Christian nations to fear monger and distract from actually passing legislation and doing their jobs.

    You can’t ignore this context when posting edges memes about Islam on english speaking Internet forums.

      Xenophobia is bad.

      Xenophobia has nothing to do with child sex slaves

      You don’t have to address an entire field/topic/background to discuss one particular point

      I think most people are aware of the constant never ending attacks on Muslims by Western leaders.

      Attack ideas not people. Especially since nearly everyone on earth who has a religion was programmed with that religion well before they reached the age where they could defend themselves.

    There’s so many hard left Islamic apologists on lemmy this is somehow controversial.

    Spoiler to the hard left; Islam wants you dead.

      Yeah, too many folks on social media confuse legit criticism with xenophobia. Even if I point to stuff that ex-Muslims are saying is true, I still get accused of hating Muslims. 😅

    Obligatory: all religions are shit, but islam is a bottom of an already shitty barrel. That already shitty barrel being abrahamic religions. They are responsible for destroying all indigenous cultures in Europe and are currently cutting through the other continents like a poop covered knife. But islam is probably the worst.

    And no its not a racism thing. I know a bunch of atheist/Zoroastrian Persians and a single atheist Arab, cool people.

    I read the full trilogy years ago, not because I am religious it was just because I want to know what it is all about.

    The Koran is the friendliest of all.

    It’s not the religion, it’s the people who always try to misinterpret things in a way they get comfort with. And we all know what fucked up shit people did in the past in the name of all religions.

    The bible for example got translated from hebrew to latin and created some funny misinterprets like “the camel through a needle eye” but that’s just some sidekicks. The koran is written in Arabic, some words can have 7 or more meanings. Reading a translation is always a leap of faith in the translator, because he/she decided the meaning.

    Bro seems a bit fucked to be picking on one religion like that almost all of em do the same shit. Its extremists that do this shit regardless of which religion they are.
