GraceRandolph Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 We can't tolerate this religious extremism, and no criticizing a religion as a whole is not Islamophobic, which means bigotry towards Muslim people themselves.

That’s why in the US we need to keep fighting to protect the constitution. Yes, religious extremists are protected as well… but when they do things like this in public it means they are a threat to LGBT rights and freedoms. That’s why I say, pack up and leave if you want to so badly change the laws. First of all, there were several (white) christian republicans also there at the protest in that library in Dearborn, so I'd honestly say those homophobic muslim american republicans fit perfectly fine in the conservative american spectrum. My point is: If there isn't any sort of xenophobic/racist bias to those discourses around so-called "extremism" on this board, why there isn't anyone telling those white bigots at the protest to also pack their things and go back to their ancestral homeland in Europe or any other place? It seems to be a popular take on ATRL whenever there's a muslim western person involved in any incident, regardless of their nationality or citizenship, but that kind of reasoning is almost never brought up when it comes to white christians or even nazis. The amount of white homophobic republicans - mostly christians - that are elected to congress every goddamn election tells me queer americans are already coexisting with queerphobic religious extremists - again, mostly christians - and unfortunately that's been the case for a very long time. Yes, those protests are despicable and queer people need to fight back discrimination, but I promise you there's ways to rightfully express that without resorting to racist and/or xenophobic language. 1 hour ago, shinyshimmery said: Cus this ain't a third world country.

Communion Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 5 hours ago, Miss Show Business said: There are extremists in Christianity, but we largely don't accept this as Christian. The protests were literally organized by Christian activists of the GOP. The woman in the middle literally filed the original complaint. Quote After the rally, some conservatives in Michigan praised the event as an example of Muslims and Christians working together. The co-chair of Michigan's Republican Party, Meshawn Maddock, posted photos of the Dearborn rally in a tweet that read in part: "Democrats have a BIG problem. Over 800 Muslim and Christian parents showed up to protest the sexualization of their kids in Dearborn Public Schools!" Politics may also be playing a role. Maddock and some other conservatives say the protesters will be voting Republican in November. In her tweet, Maddock wrote: "Guess what they said when asked 'how will you vote?' Republican!" This all takes literally 5 minutes of finding out if one actually looks to what locals in Dearborn are saying.
FightForTanas Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 Not these people being duped by the right wing extremists.

KatyPrismSpirit Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 10 hours ago, Literature said: You know what I mean though, like there are many Muslims that support lgbtq+ but they have to ignore what the Quran say. Obviously the people who are more religious (ie follow the Quran more diligently) do not support it. That is who OP is coming for: Orthodox Muslims and Islam, not just anybody who identifies as Muslim. It's an important distinction to make cuz it rebuts the idea of them blindly hating Muslims as a whole, rather, just hating something that is found within the religion Those people are not muslims. They are liberals who might be from muslim origine. If you are muslim, you submit to the Quran in full. LGBT is literally forbidden in Islam. How can you support something that directly goes against your ideology. That doesnt even make sense. Thats like saying a communist supports capitalism

How can you expect people to tolerate a religion when you said yourself in your previous post that LGBT is forbidden in Islam and true Muslims won’t support it? Why the **** should gays have to tolerate or respect a religion like that? And that Sweden statistic doesn’t seem right, I think 40% is way too high and was thrown around to fear monger. IF that is true then It’s a good reason why immigration needs to be controlled in western countries.
Burqaswag Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 Parasites. Go back to your countries if you don't like it here And dont come at me with the racist card my parents FLED from iraq because of islam

I never get why people still submit to religions knowing that they disagree with a good chunk of it…if you’re in disagreement, surely then you must recognise that this “word of God” is a lie since God would have written a perfect doctrine? Like, you don’t need religion to have a framework of goodness, but I guess some people are too attached and can’t let go.
tellem Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 They are American citizens and what they’re saying is exactly what many prominent republican politicians (and their voters) believe as well. Telling them to “go back” makes absolutely no sense at all. It’s just xenophobia

What I meant is that we should accept each others existence. The same narrative can be applied from a muslims perspective. You shouldn't respect it actually. Tolerating something doesnt equal you respect it. And that Sweden stat is actually true. Actually a lot of the white population in Sweden is increasingly converting to Islam and many Churches are being used as mosques now there. ITs not to fear monger lol
