"Islamophobia", that term which criminalizes religion criticism ... Can't wait to live in a world where blasphemy is forbidden again ! I guess nowadays: diversity is great, except for opinions. Can't wait to see the left crashing itself trying to compose with opposed sides, against homophoby on one hand and against islam criticism on the other, but islam is like christianism and probably other religions: homophobic. Oh, shouldn't I be allowed to state that anymore ? Funny world you want to live in, but I guess that's what it is when you get confused and believe that your CS degree is worth a pol sci or law degree.

There's "religions are obsolete" and there's "brown people are terrorists".

  Well ask them if drawings of their prophet are islamophobic and let me know what you find. "brown people are terrorist" is racism, not islamophobia, so, terrible example. But yeah, Islam is the worst religion we have here in Europe, I'm queer and feminist: of course I'm "islamophobic". ٱلرِّجَالُ قَوَّٰمُونَ عَلَى ٱلنِّسَآءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ وَبِمَآ أَنفَقُوا۟ مِنْ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ فَٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ قَٰنِتَٰتٌ حَٰفِظَٰتٌ لِّلْغَيْبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ ٱللَّهُ وَٱلَّٰتِى تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَٱهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِى ٱلْمَضَاجِعِ وَٱضْرِبُوهُنَّ فَإِنْ أَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلَا تَبْغُوا۟ عَلَيْهِنَّ سَبِيلًا إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيًّا كَبِيرًا This is the Quran saying that husbands should beat those of their wifes who are disobedient, and that's just the tip of the iceberg, I could go on and on on about the Quran: I'm Algerian. Sorry for the victims of my "islamophobia", but it's nothing compared to what the victims of islamic violence have been through.

    I don't dispute that some Muslims' practices are incompatible with modern liberalism. But it can be unfair to judge a religion by the worst parts of its holy texts. Here's 1 Samuel 15: 7 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt. 8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.... 10 Then came the word of the Lord unto Samuel, saying, 11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the Lord all night. and then Samuel tells Saul: 18 And the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed. 19 Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the Lord, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the Lord? So here we have the Israelites slaughtering an entire population. But God is angry with them, because they did not also slaughter all the cattle. Would it be fair to make that a summary of modern Christianity?

      Christianity revolves around the fact that Jesus replaced the Old Testament with an entirely new one, and his teachings in some cases directly contradicted what the Old Testament says. It's not really fair to judge Christianity by version 1 of their book when Christian teaching about morality derives from version 2. That's why they're called Christians.

        Sure. But they keep plenty - like the Ten Commandments. And many are, at least nominally, committed to the idea that the Bible is the Word of God, including the OT. Anyway, it’s indeed my point that it’s not fair to judge Christianity (or other religions) by every part of their holy text, so I think we agree.

  Where does the statement "muslims are terrorists" fall in that category? Edit: clarification
  - stnoaeusosnth 6y ago
    Not even hate speech, it's a false, irrelevant and stupid and that's it, but get this straight: this is nothing compared to the contents of the Quran. Do you think that the Quran which has gone unreformed for centuries abides by your progressist standards ? What a joke. http://reformingislam.org/quran-verses-inciting-terrorism/ http://reformingislam.org/quran-verses-inciting-terrorism/ > 2:193 Fight them until there is no more disbelieving of Islam and until all worship is for Allah alone. > 4:47 Jews and Christians, believe in Islam before we destroy your faces and twist them toward their backs and curse you. Now that's actual hate speech right there in the Quran, but that's perfectly fine "for the sake of diversity" right ? If you were to censor "muslims are terrorists"... then you would have to censor the Quran itself, which says so many worse things about women, queers, and disbelievers including those of your family. Censoring the Quran would be islamophobic, right ? > 9:23 Do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred not to believe in Islam. That's criminalizing freedom of thought, going against the core principles of Universal Human Rights Declaration. Anyway, Quran verses are cited during prayers, and not just the ones that abide by your Kufr standards, FYI. Samuel Paty, a story where "muslims against islamophobia" feed islamic terrorists: drawings of the prophet ARE islamophobic according to them for sure. And don't worry about Taqiya BTW. Sorry for the victims of islamophobia, but it's nothing compared to what victims of islamic violence have been through, so, guess who I'm crying for. You want to censor hate speech, this could be respectable if you were to apply it to both sides, and not "just the islamophobic side". We left our islamic countries for your civilized countries to be free, we have worked hard to integrate and become worthy citizen because we value your culture above theirs, don't betray us now!
