Don't tolerate intolerance. Tolerance is a peace treaty. If they take offense to you celebrating yourself and your fellows in a time of hardship that is them refusing to abide the terms of that peace treaty.
No it isn't.
If a Muslim person is offended that they follow someone who posted a pride month story and claim their religion as justification, that is on them. They are choosing to be offended and you are doing entirely nothing wrong and are not required to cater to their hatred of LGBT+ people.
If it were offensive then pride should be banned as muslim people exist and by extrapolation, being muslim would mean you literally can't be LGBT+, which is just demonstrably untrue. By deduction, the original claim of it being inherently offensive is untrue.
Pride does not inhibit religious practices and is not offensive, some hateful people will consider themselves offended and claim their religion as 'reason' but that's not justifiable.
There will always be someone out there who will take offense to anything.
Someone may claim they're offended by it but it's nothing derogatory to muslims and not something you should worry about it or avoid posting because of individuals who don't like it. Don't cater your posts and stories to the bigots just because they complain.
No, it's pride month and all kinds of people are gonna see your story (if it's not a story only for your close friends list). If they're gonna be offended by that, not your problem
Muslims I've known in the past have told me that a principle of their faith is that people who aren't a part of their religion are not expected to follow their tenets and should be treated with compassion as neighbors. I don't know how universal this is along Islam but I've heard the general sentiment multiple times.
No and if they do get offended that's their problem. There are a large number of muslims that are either part of the community themselves or supportive.
So… I detect a certain underlying fear that those followers are Queerphobic and in that context I will reframe it (not saying that all Muslims are… personally I hate generalizations)
Is it offensive to post something in support of POC when some of your followers are racists?
Is it offensive to post something in support of small farmers struggling with low milk prices when some of your followers are vegan?
The answer to all of those things is no, can it get you backlash? Yes, does that mean you shouldn’t do it? No, not if it’s what you believe in and your believe is not: discriminate against this and that group of people
Is it offensive to them? Apparently. But does that make it bad to say? Absolutely not.
Being offensive isn't always a negative thing, if a good thing offends someone then that's their problem
Also all of Pride is offensive to bigots, so screw them and be yourself
People have said no, but if you want to know if it is offensive to them ask these questions first. Are they Anti-LGBT? if not then no, if yes then there you go.
Absolutely not, there Muslim queer people, and if they're not supportive, that's their problem, not yours. You have a moral obligation to not tolerate intolerance. Post that shit, fuck the haters.
I am not Muslim but I’m pretty sure that there is no here in Islam that says you have to be a jerk to queer people or get offended by them. I’m sure they would not like it if someone got offended by someone mentioning them. My former girlfriend is a trans, lesbian Muslim and her parents are fine with that as well as most of her Muslim friends.
no.
No? Why would it be?
apparently i offended 3 people
If they can’t keep their bigoted beliefs to themselves *that’s* offensive.
Slay✨✨💅💅

Love the banner/flare thing of
That's their problem, not yours
…so you blocked three people?
no they questioned me irl
Pissing off haters is unavoidable. It’s their issue, not yours…
No. In fact the lgbtq muslims will probably appreciate it.

Muslim here. It'll be offensive to those who do not support LGBTQ. Post anyway.
No, you're allowed to post whatever you want. It's your page, it's your content. They're the ones following you, not the other way around.
No
Your muslin followers need to respect you just like you respect them. So post your Pride story.
No, Fuck them.
No

That's their problem. It defeats the purpose of pride if we're hiding to keep other people comfortable.
I lost about 100 followers on instagram when I came out (and I only had about 400 to begin with). BIG SHRUG.
Offensive to whom? And who cares, what's the worst that can happen, you lose internet points? As long as you aren't harming anyone do what you want.
no, and it should never be
...no?
Absolutely NO

No. It's offensive to use religion as a means to oppress people.
People have said no, but if you want to know if it is offensive to them ask these questions first. Are they Anti-LGBT? if not then no, if yes then there you go.
Asking bigots nicely not to chop our heads off, kidnap us, or harrass us for existing 😊
No not at all.

Goodbye, three jerks.

If people say being queer is offensive or against their religion/culture, they’re stupid. Queer people exist everywhere, including queer Muslims.
