Condemning the way actual citizens act doesn’t compare to what a government does. I can not kill people but I individually can’t stop my government from doing it
I simply pointed out that this community generally does well when criticizing Christianity but when it criticizes Islam or Judaism it’s almost like a crusade.
The other guy was talking about shit muslim men being like this, and shit muslim men being not a small minority, in syria for example. My (syrian) gf and her mom told me that before they left, her mom was often harassed for not wearing a hijab, pushed out of a bus once. You’re saying that any american is responsible for the actions of their government, which is just not true seeing how bad the us gov is.
I don’t think it’s comparable, even if I understand that saying “muslim men” is not the best choice. I don’t know of any other word though.
Fundamentalists, orthodox etc. People are just lazy and too used to seeing ‘video game wars’ but never really giving it any thought, thinking of Muslims as people - tbf, the US has very few Muslims, and the few they have are mostly wealthy, somewhat liberal and assimilated.
Oh ya cuz we totally have control of where our government spends our tax dollars and totally support whatever the government does. Shut the fuck up.
No comparison.

Because you dared criticize a religion. The same thing happened to me after making a comment about Islam and Judaism.
Seems the zealots have an agenda
What did you say about the Jews? Nothing too unkind I hope.

Then my account got brigaded with downvotes
I’ve got unrelated posts downvoted by double digits - this is affecting other communities now, which is very annoying.
Same but I was defending lol. You might have downvoted me!
The other guy generalised ‘Muslim men’, who number in the hundreds of millions. Why is it unfair to generalise people like you?

My whole account is getting brigaded with downvotes after I made this comment. This place is turning into Reddit.
Embrace the downvotes with me.
