Here, and in most leftist spaces, why does Islam always get a pass?

is it because when people picture “muslim” they picture a POC but when they picture “Christian” they picture a straight white man?

    I recommend paying more attention to context.

    When Christian nationalism bans all Muslims from airplanes, that’s racist (yeah, I know, religion isn’t a race, but it’s easier to type and hate is hate.) Muslims shouldn’t be treated like that.

    When Israel is mass bombing schools and hospitals, that’s a genocide, Muslims don’t deserve that.

    When a Muslim judge decides that a woman wasnt respectful enough to her husband and should be beheaded, that’s fucked up, fuck Islam.

    I don’t give a fuck what “team” anybody is on. I’m going to speak up against injustice when it happens, and here and now, I see is Christians committing and supporting injustices against others. Until they stop, you’ll keep hearing us point them out.

      Protestanism is Heresy, they may claim to be Christians but they are not

        And with this comment you’ve proven yourself to be just as biased and hateful as the people you are complaining about.

        I understand now, that YOU have no problem insulting millions of people because of their religion, you just don’t like it when they do they same thing back at you.

          how did I insult the people?

          a heresy is just a belief that is so wrong that it breaks the Christian faith

            Arrogance.

            “My version of Jesus is the ONLY correct one, and anyone who disagrees is a heretic.”

            I think you’ll get “persecuted” a lot less if you just focused on your own relationship with God, and stopped worrying about other people’s relationships with God.

              if you see someone drinking poison on the street, do you not take the bottle from their hands and call an ambulance?

                Assuming it’s a grown ass adult, of course not.

                It’s not my place to decide what other people should be allowed to drink. If the guy is drinking it, maybe he knows something you don’t, maybe that “poison” is actually good for him, maybe he needs it to live.

                Again, arrogance. What makes you so special that you know better than every other single person living on Earth?

                  for the sake of the metaphor, if someone that you love is going to eat nyquil chicken, you ARE going to stop them right?

                  it would be immoral not to

                    I’m going back to the first comment I typed this morning.

                    Context is important.

                    If my child is rooting around in the cleaners under the sink, I will of course intervene because in that situation I am responsible for teaching them that it’s harmful and that they should not drink it.

                    If some rando posts in the Internet “I’ve been drinking bleach every day for 20 years, and I’m going to do it again right now.” Who am I to tell him that he shouldn’t do something that’s been working for him for 20 years? Clearly it’s none of my business.

                    If some rando posts “If I drink bleach will it cure my COVID?” I will tell them it’s a very bad idea, because they asked for information about it, and that’s what I know.

                    It’s all about CONTEXT.
