I don’t care how many downvotes this post gets because every time I post something about Islam, I get people commenting and reporting the same dumb shit. For example, on my previous post were the meme said that “Islam is not the religion of peace”. We had a user report that meme for being hate speech. Really, have you guys even read the Quran. There are literally tons of verses about killing people for not believing in the faith. In fact, these verses are the reason why we get terrorist groups like ISIS an Al-Qaeda. We also had another user report a similar post for being racist despite the fact that it has nothing to do with race. I understand that most Muslims are warm loving people but that is not an excuse to not call out religion for what it actually is. What I find even more funny is that I posted one of the same memes on r/EXMUSLIMMEMES and r/atheistmemes over at reddit as well as s/atheistmemes over at Squabblr and people seemed to have no issues. I am honestly convinced that the people in this instance are dumber than the people on reddit and that’s really saying something. Also, one final note. If you are a Muslim, and you don’t do any of the shit described in my memes (well actually these are not my memes they are just memes I stole from other people) I am not talking about you. I am talking about those who use religion to justify immoral acts. So don’t be offended if you are not an offender.

    Neither of those two memes you just linked to are about religion or criticising the Islamic religion, they’re both unoriginal, tired takes on trying to equate muslims with terrorism.

    Do you post memes about violent attacks by christians? Or Judaists? Or Hindus? Or Bhuddists? Or is it just the Muslims you save that for?

      No. It is not that. It is just that I see it more prevalent with Islam than any other religion and that is why I have been posting memes about that. Also, you are not the only person to complain about me doing not doing other religions and to be honest with you the reason why I haven’t is because I am not as knowledgeable in those religions as I am in Christianity and Islam. In fact I am more knowledgeable in Christianity than any other religion. This is because I was raised Catholic by my parents. Obviously, I am not Catholic anymore.

      Edit: Also if you want to see more memes about other religious feel free to post them yourself. We’ll be more than happy to see them. Be the change you want.

          You’re posting memes trying to make the words ‘muslim’ and ‘terrorist’ interchangeable

          That is not my intention. I usually try my best to attack the religion not the people who follow these religions as religion has had a negative impact on our society.

    I agree there are quite a few apologists for Islam and Judaism in this community that have zero problem criticizing Christianity. You are merely trying to be consistent and I applaud you for that.
