Muslim men showing their whole ass saying they'll rape the shit out of a uncovered woman. Absolutely disgusting patriarchal system of oppression.
Show threadHistorical_GeneralJul 31, 2023

showing their whole ass

Are you an American? Have you considered your responsibility, as the wealthiest and most powerful country have routinely worked against democratic, secular and relatively feminist and progressive elements in the Muslim world? You still give aid to the Saudis and fund Wahabhist terror.

Oh ya cuz we totally have control of where our government’s money goes and totally support whatever the government does. Shut the fuck up.

The other guy generalised ‘Muslim men’, who number in the hundreds of millions. Why is it unfair to generalise people like you?
Show threadMiladyJul 31, 2023

The other guy was talking about shit muslim men being like this, and shit muslim men being not a small minority, in syria for example. My (syrian) gf and her mom told me that before they left, her mom was often harassed for not wearing a hijab, pushed out of a bus once. You’re saying that any american is responsible for the actions of their government, which is just not true seeing how bad the us gov is.

I don’t think it’s comparable, even if I understand that saying “muslim men” is not the best choice. I don’t know of any other word though.

My whole account is getting brigaded with downvoted after I made this comment. This place is turning into Reddit.

Embrace the downvotes with me.

Fundamentalists, orthodox etc. People are just too used to seeing ‘video game wars’ but never really giving it any thought - tbf, the US has very few Muslims, and the few they have are most wealthy, somewhat liberal and assimilated.

No comparison.

Condemning the way actual citizens act doesn’t compare to what a government does. I can not kill people but I individually can’t stop my government from doing it

Show threadThatWeirdGuy1001Jul 31, 2023

Because you dared criticize a religion. The same thing happened to me after making a comment about Islam and Judaism.

Seems the zealots have an agenda

Show threadHistorical_GeneralJul 31, 2023
What did you say about the Jews?
Show threadThatWeirdGuy1001Jul 31, 2023

I simply pointed out that this community generally does well when criticizing Christianity but when it criticizes Islam or Judaism it’s almost like a crusade.

Then my account got brigaded with downvotes

Same but I was defending lol. You might have downvoted me!

I’ve got unrelated posts downvoted by double digits - this is affecting other communities now, which is very annoying.

A person choosing to hurt, punish, rape, and murder another over a piece of clothing is a personal choice.

Me sitting at home disagreeing with how my government is run and writing to my representatives to tell them that is a personal choice.

Do you see how these choices are not the same?

Show threadHistorical_GeneralJul 31, 2023
Do you think there are no Muslim men sitting at home disagreeing with how their society works and ineffectually bleating about their Imams or something?
Show threadDancingYetiCrabJul 31, 2023
I think there may be a misunderstanding here. I was replying to your assertion that all citizens of America are responsible for the actions of their government. I was trying to say that individual action of an individual (such as enforcing hateful rules or engaging in violence) is a personal action committed by a person. That person is responsible for their actions directly.
Show threadHistorical_GeneralJul 31, 2023

The misunderstanding is between individual and systemic action.

What’s the point of criticising an individual Muslim man’s actions without considering the religious context of Islam? Without Islam, he’s just another violent misogynist.

What does being critical of Islamic cultural practice have to do with atheism? I thought most of the world and most religions were in on it
Show threadThatWeirdGuy1001Jul 31, 2023
It’s critical of all religions. Just because it focuses on Islam in this one specific case doesn’t mean anything
Show threadHardlightCerealJul 31, 2023
Well that’s very strange, because not all religions force people to wear things
Show threadThatWeirdGuy1001Jul 31, 2023

Just because it focuses on Islam in this one specific case doesn’t mean anything

This means that atheists point out shit that’s wrong with each religion separately as well as collectively. This is an example of a specific religious practice that is laughable.

Show threadHistorical_GeneralJul 31, 2023
But also because in the past prominent new atheists have backed the Christo-fascist war in Iraq - chief examples are Hitchens and his fellow Crusaders -sorry, the Four Horsemen.

A choice, with the alternative quite possibly being at the least, severe harrasment, and at the worst, rape or death.
