        so if a japanese asks you to take of your shoes when entering his home, are you gonna call him an asshole too, to you basic decency is opression, and you want anyone from the global southto call you a comrade, radlib

          The difference is that if you enter a Japanese person’s house in shoes, it won’t result in a random dude getting his fucking head cut off lol.

          Here’s what I don’t understand, if someone says that something is offensive in their religion I’m obviously going to respect that because I’m not an asshole. But if they say that something is a crime in their religion and the punishment is getting beheaded then I’m super not cool with that. They are imposing on me the rules of their religion, which I’m not a part of.

          It’s the same way with Christianity and abortion or homosexuality. Everyone agrees that it’s not cool that Christians are imposing their morality on the rest of the world, why is it different with Islam? That’s an honest question, correct me if I’m being a lib.
