    The other guy generalised ‘Muslim men’, who number in the hundreds of millions. Why is it unfair to generalise people like you?

      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.

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