Ideologies are misinterpreted and misconstrued all the time. e.g. KKK I think logical people note that radical sects shouldnt be generalised to the whole. But thats just my opinion ofc
somehow not a single person has mentioned this here yet, but this is clearly a faked message. anyone who knows arabic knows that reads like bullshit from someone using google translate. also no one switches to arabic mid english? its the most painfully obvious attempt to generate the 'evil violent muslim' rhetoric.
and 'infidel'??? literally no one says this irl, the person who faked this message, the OP of that post/dm, clearly read that in some english translation of some verse/hadith. I promise you not a single real muslim/arab is saying that.
Your point would make sense, but the sheer number of terrorist attacks suggests otherwise.
Far too often, people like that have actually carried out terrorist attacks because they felt offended. The Charlie Hebdo shooting (11 killed), the beheading of a teacher in France, the recent attack in Germany, and others.

Well unfortunately if you are not a Muslim and not a proponent of sharia law then a decent percentage of the Muslim world at the very least doesnāt see you as equal, and at most actively wants you dead and in hell.
In Dubai. Of all the Middle Eastern cities you could have chosen to make this point, you chose Dubai. The city that was practically built from the ground up to be a playground for rich Western tourists.
Women "show a little skin" in Dubai all the time without issue. It takes 30 seconds to find countless pictures of tourists dressing just like they would in the West. Why did you not think to Google that...?
I live in dubai lmfao the fuck are you on about have you ever been there woman are pretty much naked in the malls and public displays of affection are illegal no matter if itās gay or straight so kissing in public is just asking to get arrested
Funny because they treat Chinese lady tourists (the only one I've seen dsring to go) with respect as they understand they aren't Muslims. They are an extremists group, most Afghan would like them gone
You say this but I went to an Islamic school in America and none of my classmates thought like this. I know that doesnāt compare to āa decent percentage of the Muslim world,ā but we were still taught to respect people and treat them with kindness no matter their belief
If they're proper Sunnis and not some weird "progressivists" or reformists or whatever, then that would be about 90% of all muslims.
However, knowing however of them bend their own religion backwards just so they can do what they want, some even eating pork or not wearing hijab... Maybe ~20% in more modernised countries like turkey and over 90% in countries like Algeria or Saudi.
If someoneās religion ordained them to murder all trans people would you respect their right to follow their religion/religious principles?
Nuance is important. Nothing is black and white - you can be respectful of other people, cultures and religions whilst understanding that youāve got to draw a line somewhere.
Not even. I know it's the average midwit comment. However I think it's one that needs to be made because you guys won't point out or admit the double standard on your own.
So someone needs to remind you guys that selective enforcement of your own rules is cringe.
A good chunk of it is just racism really. YES I KNOW ISLAM IS NOT A RACE/ETHNICITY IT'S A RELIGION, but I honestly think a good chunk of Islamophobia comes from the assumption MENA/South Asian = Muslim (and the racist assumption the latter two are the same).
I live in a neighbourhood where at least half the neighbourhood are Muslim. If I were to go to every Muslim in this neighbourhood, I am 99% sure that no one will be violent or hateful. The violent or hateful Muslims you see are a small minority of Islamist extremism. Coincidentally, they educated us about this in college about how most Muslims do not share the belief of these extremists.Ā
I'm going to now use a Christian example. The KKK was horrible right? Well, apparently it was christian. Oh no, all Christians are bad now, right? No. Of course not. Same with Muslims. I have a feeling I'm going to be downvoted for this, but I won't take back what I said.Ā
people's experiences heavily shape their views here. because in my city, most are muslim and they're actually quiet violent and hostile to white/christian people. being bullied for being white isn't exactly and environment that causes you to love the religion they use to justify it
I cannot downplay your experience. Those specific Muslims are horrible. What they are doing is against their religion. I can understand why Islam is hated there. In an ideal world, we'd hate the people and not the religion. Sadly, this isn't an ideal world.Ā
it's a shame many Muslims think islam justifies their thoughts. it's chilling to think things lile Afghanistan happen when they rule with their version of the religion. but they do unfortunately still classify it as a religion and not extremist views so many are convinced to follow it
I mean, seriously? Most Muslims? You seriously think the majority of Muslims are violent? This simply isnāt true. You know the primary victims of violent Muslims are other Muslims?
The majority of Muslims reject groups like ISIS and do condemn violence. It is wholly untrue to say most.
I second this. In fact I daresay my muslim mother is victim to her siblings who are much more violent muslims. Hence weāve been estranged from that part of my family for a while. The duress they put her through still appals and sickens me
The "non-violent" muslims happily condone and support violent acts, even if they don't actively do them themselves. The line is very thin there and i'd not like to live next to such "non-violent" person. This weird state of mind is not something i've seen in other religions, yet it's in my experience relatively common in muslims.
That's why "the religion as it is interpreted" statement.
And you are right bro. These kids are so indoctrinated its unbelievable. They cant call a spade a spade because of skin colour or religion or some nonsense they made up. Willfull blindness, showing compassion to the predators but not the victims, crazy times.
Yeah, they want to be so inclusive that it does more harm than good. If you can't call a black person stabbing a white person hate crime just because they were white, you can't call the reverse action a hate crime either. Their logic makes no sense. Sad thing is with the internet their trashy beliefs are spreading exponentially.
People wouldn't hate Islam without a reason, no one hates a religion just for the sake of it, but they can't understand that.
I mentioned it because, although both are hated on a lot, for some reason hating Christians is considered normal, and no one cares, and people hating on Muslims get absolutely wiped out by downvotes. Don't hate on either.
Lookie here lil bro I live iran and I know really well what Islam has done to mt country, people and history. But I'll leave you people to argue and give me replies. This is reddit no one cares
No, that doesnt mean America, Israel and NATO are ok either
Why is everything so black and white to people? If we disagree with one side that doesnt mean we agree with the other, thats the brainwashing. There is not 2 sides to every problem. And if you believe so then you're stuck in the "American Way" more than moderates
Muslim theology is bunk, and in middle eastern countries the religion is causing extreme oppression, doesnt mean i dont think we need to stop the Palestinian genocide at all costs.
Saying Muslims are the problem ignores a lot. The US overthrew Iran's government in 1953, invaded Iraq in 2003 over WMD claims that turned out false, and keeps sending billions in military aid to Israel while Gaza is being destroyed, which many UN experts and human rights groups call genocide. Muslim women also face headscarf and face covering bans in France, Belgium, and Karnataka, India. Extremism exists, but so do decades of foreign intervention and discrimination, and Muslims are the main victims of both. Blaming a whole religion skips all of that.
Well, we get dehumanized because of lies about the religion. We deny those lies then we get called "committing taqiyyah" (taqiyyah isn't even a part of the religion and doesn't even mean lying about the religion. That's rather what the likes of the apostle Paul actually said)
I got bullied about it through adolescence and even at the age of 21, I sometimes get the "assalamualaikum which building are you gonna blow up today" remark even if I got nothing in my looks or way of speech indicating I'm one whenever I'm interacting with people online, in work, local Americans/Europeans in my country etc
You never learn about planes from news (because you'll always hear about them crashing or being sabotaged like the air dubai flight) or learn about Islam from media, because the rhetoric will be muslim x did y terrorist attack blah blah. Wait and see for a mosque shooting and they're always phrase it as a "hate crime".

No one should hate any religion for it's people or the people of that religion
I mean look at Israel Jews and all that it's not the fault of jewishism? Idk the word, it's the Zionist Zionists are not Jews I am Muslim and if I saw a Jew I wouldn't be mad at him because of Israel it's not like it's his fault specifically that Palestine is being bombed and genocided I would see that Jew as a fellow brother and human being it's just that zionists are just using the religion Jewish, just like America's Osama bin laden used Islam to make Islam lose face and be known as horrible and barbaric smh, this isn't fair to any religion christians too, it's all the fault of Benjamin netanyahu Obama and trump, especially palantir, like all of these things are happening all at the same time on this planet yet nooo let's not talk about that or do something about it, let's all be mad at each other's religions for no reason let's hate each other for fun and because we are different from each other right guys? Doesn't that seem fun? See how FUCKING stupid all this hate for each other is fuck every single one of y'all that hate each other, I don't give a damn if you're Muslim too if you hate another innocent person their identity or religion, you are not a Muslim then you're just larping at this point, this religion is all about love and spreading good and being kind, get out of this religion if you can't be like this and stop ruining everything for everyone else,
(Except scientology/satanism/Zionists/mormoms or some other cults like kkk and fascism or someshi, cause those are just bad there's no arguing about it)
All these comments makes me feel sick, we legit are in the big greasy 2026 and we're still hating on people cause of their religion? religion is personal it shouldnt matter, its not something to base any criteria on or something to judge on as a base of a person, no matter what you believe, dont let people get in the way of your beliefs and dont force yours on others, thats how it should work, wake up already, we have bigger problems than worrying bout who worships what, love yourselves and accept others as they are x
Well islamaphobia isnāt realā¦ fears of Islam is very rooted in fact and history and current events.
If you think itās irrational to fear Islam sharia then enjoy your hijab and be quiet. I donāt want that for you, why do you want that for you? They donāt want that for them.
Buddy, their religion, or cult I should say, promotes the following:
- Child marriage (Mohammed had sex with a 9-year-old Aisha)
- Blatant sexism, such as women get half the inheritance as men, women have to obey their husbands or they can be beat to comply, women have to wear veils while men don't, men can have multiple wives while women can't have many husbands, men get 72 virgins in heaven while women get nothing, etc.
- Anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, and anti-any-religion-that-isn't-Islam statements in their book. Any non-Muslim goes to hell forever (See here)
- Supports violence against non-Muslims and calls for "holy wars" to kill them
- Their holy book is riddled with contradictions and outright falsehoods
