I didn't realise Muslims were responding to shit like this with "we're not vampires with garlic idiot." But I like it.

As an exmuslim, I'm disappointed in this comment section.

islam is NOT your friend. Simping for it just shows that you're either ignorant or you're hypocrite with not prinicples. islam, as an ideology is so unbelievably vile that it's a very strong contender for being the worst ideology in history. Pedophilia, sex slavery, rape, misogyny, wife beatings, normal slavery, genocide, terrorism, homophobia, violent colonialism, apartheid governance, censorship, intentional discrimination and hatred, and barbaric capital punishment are all explicitly allowed and encouraged in the islamic scriptures.

This is not just me making things up, I can literally show you either verses from the quran, sahih hadiths, or both explicitly allow and encourage every single one of these. I'm against bigotry and bigots, however, I am also against those who cover for them. In this case, islam is just as bigoted, if not more bigoted, than the person in the post, and the people covering for islam aren't any better. I will always stand tall and proud on the side of people who exercise their right to free speech to criticize islam, and expose the religion for what it is, despite the dangers of doing so.

so the same as every other abrahamic religion?

Sounds like Christianity to me! Judging by the bible that I read 4 times. Literally my second most read book.

What's amazing is that people have time to mind other people's business.

Its always jarring to see bigots disgrace just the Quran and Islam.

I'd argue fundamentalist Christians and Christian Zionists follow a nearly identical ideology and commit nearly identical atrocities as any radical Islamic Jihadist.

I’d argue fundamentalist Christians and Christian Zionists follow a nearly identical ideology

Literally identical bibliography up to a point. The Bible is a sacred text within Islam as well (although not in any condition an American evangelical could stomach reading, on account of it not being in English).

It's the interpretation that drives a wedge between them. Muslims recognize Jesus as a prophet, but reject the Nicean Creed (just like Jews).

commit nearly identical atrocities

The idea that religion causes atrocities requires a particular blindness to cataclysmic violence during secular eras. It's not religion that's getting Dems and Repubs alike to sponsor the Israeli genocide of Palestine, for instance. This is entirely rooted in the geopolitics of the oil trade through the Suez Canal.

Fear, bigotry, misinformation, and the mass hysteria of modern warfare are fully decoupled from secular traditions. Atheists like Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens have been as zealous in their advocacy of this barbarism as dogmatic Catholics and Muslims, like Pope Francis and Salman al-Dayah have been advocates for peace.

The idea that you can eliminate war through apostasy went out the window 60 years ago, during the height of the Soviet Era. War has an entirely materialist causation.

Well Islam is an offshoot of Christianity, so it makes sense that they're basically the same thing.

I've always said both Christianity and Islam are my enemy. Both science denying, sexist, power hungry institutions with a penchant for fucking kids. The only difference, in the West, is that Christianity was made to bend the knee a long time ago. I think Islam still needs that lesson.

Regardless, fuck them both. Sky daddy worshipping death cults.

Both science denying, sexist, power hungry institutions with a penchant for fucking kids.

Religious institutions have been at the foundation of modern scientific scholarship for centuries. Meanwhile, merely avoiding a formal religious indoctrination does nothing to improve your education or steer you clear of superstition.

And there's no shortage of apostate child fuckers. Epstein's island had academics and influencers of every stripe.

Christianity was made to bend the knee a long time ago

To the secular financial system, where all the child fucking happens.

My dude, are you seeing what's happening in the US? What types of people are most passionately supporting Israel?

Shit, are you seeing the rampant rise of the far right accross Europe and Australia and some of their biggest backers?

That shit ain't happening because of Muslims. The Christian Jihadists are back and are making serious gains.

Tehran in the 1970s would have been a beautiful way to show how modern lifestyles and islamic culture could co-exist, much in the same way that Christianity was treated in the West all the way up to 2015.

Ah well, I guess there's still Istanbul, and I guess the West can still potentially pull themselves away from the right-wing christian fundamentalism they're currently embracing

Celebrating the Shah's Iran for it's secularism is a bit like celebrating Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for it's capitalism.

[–] Reginald_T_Biter@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

Yeah this worries me a lot at the minute. There's a concerted effort to push christianity back in front of the levers of power and it disgusts me. I mean, have you ever tried to read the bible? It's complete nonsense (nonce-sense?).

Tbf the problem was always race rather than religion.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Well yeah. Hate directed towards Muslims is 99% hate against brown people in a thinly veiled disguise.

Burning a Quran because you hate Muslims is bigoted but burning a Quran (or any holy text) because the priestly class is how the ruling class maintains control over the working class in almost every society and religion is tool of oppression is a chad move.

The bacon thing is a dead giveaway that this is bigotry.
