Communion Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) It is interesting that the free speech absolutists of the European far-right somehow suddenly support book-burning when it's meant to purposefully incite and anger *checks notes* people they consider "foreign brown invaders". In the same continent where the same people are making it their mission to defend books that argue things like homosexuality and transgenderism are a mental illness and that these are valid opinions to have, and who think they're doing something by burning the Quran.

Domination Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I mean the book burning is symbolic. The far right is not offering some good faith critique of Islam or really a critique of the religion at all. Don’t act dense enough to believe that Swedes would share the same animosity with Albanians or Serbians practicing Islam as opposed to the people this act is targeting. It’s quite literally a racially motivated agitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As another user previously said, these right wing nuts ain't **** either as their behavior is at least partially racially motivated, but I have NO sympathy for these people either. The people participating in such "protests" wouldn't bat an eye before supporting a ban or persecution of my sexual identity (I would know, I live between such people), so boo fuking hoo if I don't feel sorry for their feelings being hurt over a hate-inciting book (and no, the moderate and liberal Muslims ignoring such hateful parts of their religion just like Christians or whoever else does for their own does not absolve the religion itself from criticism) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauntinglyHollow Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 If you do that over a book you should rethink your life, perhaps start attending kindergarden again or something. The dude who burned the book set a bait and those morons ate it with a hook. They should not only pay for the damage they have caused but also for the stupidity of how easily they got trolled.

Cloudy Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 People may say it's just a book, but it's important to them and really feel their religion which is fine as long as it doesn't hurt anybody. I have to say they were a bit short sighter and let their feelinsg get the best of them, because this is exactly what this far right groups want, they want a reason to validate their speech.

But the fact will always remain, every action has a reaction. And Islam is not a monolith where we share a hive mind, so if they choose to riot this way it’s their choice, same way the far right chose to show their phobia. Thread title: unrest in Texas over bible burnings The news: white Christian Texans burn cars of the people belonging to the religious/ethnic group the people that burned the Bibles belong to and riot over said extremist group planning to do it again. The comment: They choose the holy date of Christmas to provoke Christians… …They still expect no retaliation or a fight back. If anyone called the hypothetical commenter in this scenario a white supremacist enabler I wouldn’t necessarily disagree. Would you? Draw your own conclusions as to what that says about your original comment. Edited April 17, 2022 by JoshBTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in Europe is secularism meant to be seen as the removal of religion in itself, and something tells me that this guy is not someone interested in secularism but is himself fighting in what he sees as a religious war.

ZIVERT Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Why go out of your way to burn a book knowing how seriously people take it, unless you were looking to create a specific reaction I mean, both sides in this situation are wrong, but the people who decided to burn the Quran for the purpose of inciting hatred are at fault here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
