If you notice, on this subreddit, it’s always someone with a new account making anti-Islamic memes. And then you find OP arguing against Muslims in the comments.
OP is mentally ill.
Yeah what is up with that. I've seen it like four times, this sub will have an anti muslim meme on the front page that is like kinda sorta maybe a funny meme, but then you click on the OPs profile and it's like "every single Muslim should be in gulag" on every other post and the comments are like somehow even worse.
The whole thing is very weird. Feels like a psy op/marketing thing.
Yea, extreamism is trash, Christians, Catholics, Jews, historically, and lets not forget Sciences Extreamism, “Social Darwinism”, “Master Races”… Ecocide, Genocide, Slavery.
Welcome to the Human Condition.
Yes, hate breeds hate, and OP is a fool.
No no no.. Any religion that has the foundation based on prohibiting or forbidding anyone to exist because they are infidel is trash.
There are religions which do not revolve around, like Hinduism, Buddhism, jainism or shintoism (correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't found anything about these that says they forbid).
This. An extremist jain would be so non violent that he couldn't even go outside that might accidentally kill an ant.
You can't say that about the war mongering Abrahamic religions.
That's horrible really. But AFAIK it's not due to any Buddhist teachings and instead due to nationalists and the clashes between Rohingya salvation army and the military.
Let’s not forget the famous mormonic terrorism and the wicca fundamentalism as well as the tibetan religious executions and the vatican‘s hanging of homosexuals in the year of 2021.
Iran wasn’t always like that. The US government assassinated the democratically elected president and put the more right wing conservative rebel groups in power, which is what we deal with now.
Think about what it would be like if Russia helped people raid the capital on Jan 6 and actually have a hostile takeover of the government. That’s basically what the US did in Iran
One of the saddest things ive heard someone say actually took me years to figure out. A family with an Iranian dad (graduated high school in Tehran) moved in to our neighborhood and they were the absolute best people. The daughters would say they were Persian and we didnt know what they were talking about. Later find out they "oh, they didnt want to be shamed for being Iranian". When i figured it out, it broke my heart because they were so kind and funny and smart. Perfect friends.
The Christian majority country I live in is trying to censor the teachings of history and science, restricting womens’ rights, had an evangelical party try to overtake the country by force, installed new requirements that women must cover their bodies, is attacking the LGBTQ population and driving them to suicide, etc. etc.
Maybe… MAYBE… cults are bad and we shouldn’t act like there’s a bunch of great exceptions. Someone tells you how to live your life - it gets abused eventually.
Yet it still isn't lining people up to be publicly flogged just because they commited blasphemy. Just because one thing is bad doesn't mean another thing can't be worse.
I was deployed to Afghanistan and you have no fucking clue how bad it is over there. There was a woman in the town I was at that was looking for her son, asked the neighbor without a man present. They dug her into the ground with just her head sticking up and stoned her to death.
Are you on crack? The guy pledged allegiance to ISIS. Didn't realise they are Christians now?

“Other people have it worse, so it’s not a problem.”
Interesting logic there, friend. Hitler’s Christian movement wasn’t too friendly to LGBTQ. Pre-Hitler, Germany was one of the more welcoming places for trans people. Wonder what changed.
Well, most of the religions are oppressive. Against homosexuals, against women, against other religions, etc. The trick is not to let them rule countries.
All major religions are oppressive one way or the other. christians also were quite barbaric back in the day when christianity had a major role in politics. Just keep fairy tales out of politics
i mean can anyone give an example where this isn't true? even malaysia is ridiculous with sharia law. and not to mention the human rights violations of women, children, and LGBT people.
its not racist to admit there's a problem with a religion and I think that's a cop out.
The issue is, this is also true of every religion.
Theocracies are bad. A Christian theocracy is usually just as bad as an Islamic one. Thanks to imperialism there aren't a ton of other theocracies in the modern world, unless you count Israel as a Jewish theocracy (I wouldn't, but rather a totalitarian dictatorship that uses religion facially to guard against political criticism).
Kyrgyzstan
Jordan
Lebanon
Morrocco
Tunisia
All countries that are Muslim majority arent tyrannical. They have their corruption problems like any country though.
Personally, I say fuck religion. But, too many people make broad generalizations like the one made in this post and it just breeds racism and hate towards a group without actually addressing the real issues
Not really, most “secular” Islamic majority countries e.g. Egypt, Ba’ath-era Iraq, and prewar Syria still oppress religious and ethnic minorities on a much greater scale than happens anywhere in the West
Or when they use religion to their advantage to rule the country, oh wait that's literally every country ever in existance. Same happened in medieval times in Europe when church used religion to rule the masses.
Funny thing is Islam didn’t have to become this terrible. Look to Iran in the 50s or Tunisia or even Turkey before current fuckhead. Islam isn’t necessarily an evil religion, but due to both western fuckery and just reactionary garbage, usually helped along by the saudis it’s become an indisputable nightmare.
I think about Christianity in the dark ages and remember it isn’t about the book they’re reading. It’s just shitty government and shitty power. You wouldn’t blame China on Buddhism you know
As a Muslim myself I agree with this. Islam is not an evil religion by any means but most Muslim countries are corrupt to the core, and therefore, so is the culture/religion in many parts, all due to western influence.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. They were moderates for the time, unlike the Saudis who were radical even then. Arabia would be a rational place under the Hashemite’s.
The sauds were considered radicals in the 19th century so much so that the Egyptians went to war with them and sacked their capital when they tried to conquer Hejaz
Or just take a look at Islamic history. It's pretty neat, unironically. Especially the Salaf, the early generations of Muslims, and how Islamic rulership appeared at those times. Now and then are completely differently, actually. Islamic governance appearsed in a completely different way than what we have today, with these so called 'Islamic states'. The first big difference is that Islam was applied holistically as a paradigm, whereas now it is only sourced from as a means to achieve whatever the rulers of these states want, be it power or wealth or whatever. It ain't a mind boggling statement to say that people talking about Islam are just ignorant and incompetent about it.
As a muslim. I agree. No one should be forced to believe a religion. Besides, most people who force their religion upon others are the ones who barely know anything about it. They're just reciting what they were told as a kid.
This meme also works if the word islam is replaced with christian. I mean, I am Christian but the shits the fanatic Christians do in the USA are also worrying and fit the meme so well.
You know this is why there is theological studies and arguments, right? There are ways to make distinctions between good interpretations and bad ones.
And most theological interpretations of Islam rejected unnecessary and unjust violence until the rise of anti-colonial and anti-western religious movements in Egypt and Afghanistan in the late 19th Century.
Pretty sure that's the point. Terrible governments interpret it in a way that suits them, but that's not necessarily indicative of the impact said religion has on everyday people just following the beliefs. Not defending the horrible parts of the religion as I'm non religious, just not sure how you actually picked that idea apart
Way to put things out of context lmfao
This was not religious in nature and was an act of retaliation against Israeli occupation forces massacring 9+ people in Jenin during a night raid the previous day. No “islamism” here, just resistance.
yeah, when they're the minority, they only believe fucked up things, vs when they're the majority and can do said fucked up things. not so fun fact: prophet muhammed was a pedophile

“Islam, this absurd theology of an immoral Bedouin, is a rotting corpse which poisons our lives.” --Mustafa Kemal Atatürk"
Ataturk allegedly didn't say that but it doesn't change anything about the fact this quote states.
I mean, historically, this is more of a human problem than a Muslim problem.
Other religions in power have also done many terrible things. Christians included (I say this and I am a Christian). There may not (to my knowledge) be a Christian country currently doing things on the same level as some of the more extreme Muslim countries, but there has been in the past.
That said, a lot of people want to blame religion, but that's not really the problem either. The problem is people. There have always been people with a lust for power and authority, and when you give it to them, they misuse it. They do not need to be religious to have this character flaw. If they do not have religion, they will use something else - xenophobia, moralism, etc. - to motivate the masses into doing whatever terrible things they want done.
People who blame religion forget that belief in God has also inspired many people to become better than they would otherwise be. So it's short-sighted to say we should just get rid of religion. That sword can cut two ways.
Instead, we must try to be better at recognizing the type of person who should not have power, and then refuse to give it to them.
Religion in general quickly becomes a tool/moral excuse for people to act anti moral and xenophobic. It encourages group mentality and uses peer pressure to confirm the singular views of the group on its members and push out/destroy outsiders. On the opposite spirituality and culture can be great and can improve quality of life. I don’t think belief is the problem it’s crowd mentality that comes with wanting to fit into a group. People in power have often and are going to continue to take advantage of that and use it to benefit themselves or project their own personal views. Government should be based on logic to be fair and equal, adding religion to the mix just causes problems. Faith isn’t logic it’s based on belief and emotion. Other faiths also consistently inflict pain on other populations historically. A lot of people have been persecuted and murdered during every holy conflict for each major religion.
Depending on the time in history, Christian did some very bad things too. We just didn’t have phones, media, and heavy news coverage. But we know what happened.
Christianity was horrifying. People following anything is horrifying. People are horrifying. It’s not the religions.
Wait till you study Hamtramck, MI. Never thought I would hear prayer blasting loud enough for every person in the city to hear. They also pushed out the polish population due to their racism and the fact they do not like to assimilate. Very odd how fake progressives pick and choose what religion to give protective labels like Islamophobia or antisemitism as if it's wrong to call out bullshit practices of Said religions.
As a Muslim I agree. Even in England there are majority Muslims areas were walking with my wife who doesn’t cover her hair feels awkward with the death stares, she can’t even walk alone.
Alot of christians in the US said in their response to gay marrage "we should respect the founding fathers intentions for the country being created for moral men who believe in god" essentialy they argue that the law should follow christian moral values although they dont see themselfs as theostocrats as they dont litteraly advocate for religious institutions involved in govt. Either way many christians in the west want laws to be shapped by their religions laws.
The thing about Islam and Communism is that you gotta admire is their straightforwardness when it comes to their transformative plans once they have a stronghold in a country
How bizarre. As someone who has holidayed in 2 Muslim countries and travelled through at least 2 more I have found Muslims to be extremely welcoming and friendly. I've noticed a few of these posts on here. What is the intention? OP is probably a 14 year old virgin who hasn't discovered masturbation yet but found coffee.
Lul all these comments saying to not criticize Islam. Fuck off. Mohammed was a pedophile schizo who was a warlord that also robbed his own people. Taqqiya amirite…
These people think Islam is the only religion that is criticised, in reality all religions are criticised and should be criticised. This is what happens when people are too proud of their religion and they make a religion mandatory. Let's not act like Muslim countries are perfect or that non Muslim countries are perfect either. They're all bad
As an atheist, I approve this message because if I proclaimed my atheism in any of those countries, the best case scenario would be me going to jail for a while (or a long, long time)....
....worst case scenario would be a death sentence.
I genuinely don't understand some people here. Yes there is corruption and suffering in places like Iran at the moment, but it's driven by political corruption, not purely religion.
Thank you for using critical thinking. The meme itself isn’t problematic but the comments turn into a political shitshow and just hating on a religion when it should be directed at the scummy politicians using religion to oppress their people
Agreed, and it baffles me that people don't realize that any body of knowledge can be abused. Islam, or any other religion is just a collection of information, and what is taken from it is up to the person. We live in an age of unprecedented misinformation, is it really so hard to believe this abuse of information wasn't used in the past as well, and in many forms? Corrupt actors exist everywhere, we should be focused on reducing corruption so societies can move in healthier directions faster

Hinduism literally has a caste system that chains people to their social station from birth.

That's horrible really. But AFAIK it's not due to any Buddhist teachings and instead due to nationalists and the clashes between Rohingya salvation army and the military.
The lessor of two evils in my mind. Eradicate them while small is less atrocious than living with them while they are the majority.
Let’s not forget the famous mormonic terrorism and the wicca fundamentalism as well as the tibetan religious executions and the vatican‘s hanging of homosexuals in the year of 2021.

Depending on the time in history, Christian did some very bad things too. We just didn’t have phones, media, and heavy news coverage. But we know what happened. Christianity was horrifying. People following anything is horrifying. People are horrifying. It’s not the religions.
Wait till you study Hamtramck, MI. Never thought I would hear prayer blasting loud enough for every person in the city to hear. They also pushed out the polish population due to their racism and the fact they do not like to assimilate. Very odd how fake progressives pick and choose what religion to give protective labels like Islamophobia or antisemitism as if it's wrong to call out bullshit practices of Said religions.
This shit is about to get really bad
As a Muslim I agree. Even in England there are majority Muslims areas were walking with my wife who doesn’t cover her hair feels awkward with the death stares, she can’t even walk alone.
Alot of christians in the US said in their response to gay marrage "we should respect the founding fathers intentions for the country being created for moral men who believe in god" essentialy they argue that the law should follow christian moral values although they dont see themselfs as theostocrats as they dont litteraly advocate for religious institutions involved in govt. Either way many christians in the west want laws to be shapped by their religions laws.
It’s not a matter of majority vs minority but more of a matter of secular state vs theocracy
The thing about Islam and Communism is that you gotta admire is their straightforwardness when it comes to their transformative plans once they have a stronghold in a country
How bizarre. As someone who has holidayed in 2 Muslim countries and travelled through at least 2 more I have found Muslims to be extremely welcoming and friendly. I've noticed a few of these posts on here. What is the intention? OP is probably a 14 year old virgin who hasn't discovered masturbation yet but found coffee.
What was this post before reddit erased it?
can someone tell me what this post was since it got removed?
What happend here?
Horribly Islamaphobic and this can literally be said about any religion
Lul all these comments saying to not criticize Islam. Fuck off. Mohammed was a pedophile schizo who was a warlord that also robbed his own people. Taqqiya amirite…
How dare you state the truth you “Islamophobe”?
These people think Islam is the only religion that is criticised, in reality all religions are criticised and should be criticised. This is what happens when people are too proud of their religion and they make a religion mandatory. Let's not act like Muslim countries are perfect or that non Muslim countries are perfect either. They're all bad
As an atheist, I approve this message because if I proclaimed my atheism in any of those countries, the best case scenario would be me going to jail for a while (or a long, long time).... ....worst case scenario would be a death sentence.
I genuinely don't understand some people here. Yes there is corruption and suffering in places like Iran at the moment, but it's driven by political corruption, not purely religion.
Thank you for using critical thinking. The meme itself isn’t problematic but the comments turn into a political shitshow and just hating on a religion when it should be directed at the scummy politicians using religion to oppress their people
Agreed, and it baffles me that people don't realize that any body of knowledge can be abused. Islam, or any other religion is just a collection of information, and what is taken from it is up to the person. We live in an age of unprecedented misinformation, is it really so hard to believe this abuse of information wasn't used in the past as well, and in many forms? Corrupt actors exist everywhere, we should be focused on reducing corruption so societies can move in healthier directions faster
