What's amazing is that people have time to mind other people's business.

Its always jarring to see bigots disgrace just the Quran and Islam.

I'd argue fundamentalist Christians and Christian Zionists follow a nearly identical ideology and commit nearly identical atrocities as any radical Islamic Jihadist.

[–] Saffire@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

Well Islam is an offshoot of Christianity, so it makes sense that they're basically the same thing.

You can at least draw a picture of Jesus without being murdered.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)
  1. You can draw a picture of Mohammed without being murdered. Do it now. I promise you you'll be fine.

  2. There never has existed any rules in Christianity about drawing Jesus in any way being a no no. Shitty comparison.

  3. The fundamentalist Christians of the USA disappeared someone because they had a meme of fat JD Vance. The same people who turn around and tell the country God is king and Christians are facing genocide from a nonexistent communist deep state. Same ones who fully support Israel's genocide in Palestine and emperial war to make Greater Israel so the Christian version of the apocalypse can begin.

So no, the world isn't safe from radical Christians. We're actually more in danger now than we have been in quite some time.

Didn't say it was. But I can think of a few dead cartoonist that might have a different view.

Both relgion need to go. But seeing people Islam because they hate christans more pisses me off.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I'm not defending Islam.

I'm saying we're fooling ourselves if we're suggesting that radical Christians aren't a colossal threat just as radical Muslims are.

In many ways, they're actually a greater threat to the West because they hold power here. Muslims generally don't, in comparison.

And again, I invite you to see the source of so many of Israel's weapons they use to commit genocide and illegally attack their neighbors.

Its widely Christian Zionists in America.

I get that. But I feel like people want to pretend that Islam is better are being willfully ignorant

Also thar picture is from the Afghanistan war.

There is no need to compare bigoted religions. However, if you want to do so Islam comes out as the more bigot and violent hands down. Look at the punishment for apostasy or homosexuality as an example.

Sure, it is a minority religion in the west, thankfully, so it is less of a problem compared to Christianity from a selfish, west centric view. However from a general perspective of how religion is used to oppress and control other people Islam is pretty much where Christianity was 3 centuries ago.

Yes, many people hate Islam because they want their bigoted religion not to be threatened, or because Islam is practiced by people too brown for their racism, but this doesn't mean that every time someone criticizes Islam for the many, many reasons that it deserves to be criticized, people need to jump to defend it.

What is even more shocking is that this regularly happens in communities where using the wrong pronoun is considered a capital sin, but somehow defending a bigoted religion that in some cases leads to the hanging of homosexuals is fine, as long as it's a reflex to other bigotry (real or perceived).

I've always said both Christianity and Islam are my enemy. Both science denying, sexist, power hungry institutions with a penchant for fucking kids. The only difference, in the West, is that Christianity was made to bend the knee a long time ago. I think Islam still needs that lesson.

Regardless, fuck them both. Sky daddy worshipping death cults.

My dude, are you seeing what's happening in the US? What types of people are most passionately supporting Israel?

Shit, are you seeing the rampant rise of the far right accross Europe and Australia and some of their biggest backers?

That shit ain't happening because of Muslims. The Christian Jihadists are back and are making serious gains.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Tehran in the 1970s would have been a beautiful way to show how modern lifestyles and islamic culture could co-exist, much in the same way that Christianity was treated in the West all the way up to 2015.

Ah well, I guess there's still Istanbul, and I guess the West can still potentially pull themselves away from the right-wing christian fundamentalism they're currently embracing

[–] Reginald_T_Biter@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Yeah this worries me a lot at the minute. There's a concerted effort to push christianity back in front of the levers of power and it disgusts me. I mean, have you ever tried to read the bible? It's complete nonsense (nonce-sense?).

Tbf the problem was always race rather than religion.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Well yeah. Hate directed towards Muslims is 99% hate against brown people in a thinly veiled disguise.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 36 points 21 hours ago

Lol the best part is that she forces them to learn something.
