You should absolutely acknowledge and resist the efforts of fundamentalists and bigots of every stripe. Islamic fundamentalism is dangerous and toxic and kills people. What bugs me is how many people refuse to admit any difference between Islamic fundamentalists and all Muslims. This is not a petty nitpick in an America where violent attacks against Muslims are skyrocketing. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/15/us/politics/fbi-hate-crimes-muslims.html https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/15/us/politics/fbi-hate-crim...
- ng12 10y agoPakistan implements Islamic law which includes a death penalty for blasphemy. Nobody's talking about Muslims in America.
- PhasmaFelis 10y agoThe post that I was replying to in the first place said "blasphemy is indeed punishable by death in Islam," full stop. All I'm trying to do is make it clear that no major religion is a unified monolith. We both know that the crimes of terrorists and fundamentalists are used to condemn peaceful Muslims in the US and Europe.
