>The Bible is just as violent as the Quran, and was used to justify black slavery, Native American genocide, the Inquisition, etc. It's just not used to justify those on nearly the same scale anymore because we're over a century and a half since those.
Whataboutism. But OK, lets play that game. why do people like you feel comfortable criticizing Christians but find criticizing Muslims or anyone else is Racist or evil or wrong? That's just hypocrisy. I dislike all religions spun out of Judaism for various reasons, but to say the Bible is just as violent as the Quran, oh please. Most of the violence in the bible is from the Old Testament, which most Christians don't follow, and similarly exists in the Quran. However the Quran has extra violence added on where Mohommad the warlord decides violence is the best way to get what he wants. And he's not necessarily wrong. But to say they're the same is true naivety.
> Except he literally used the words "racially homogeneous".
>So either you can't read, or rapeman is bringing up race where it doesn't matter.
>Or maybe it's both!
Yeah and he's wrong there. While Racial homogenaity can certainly be beneficial to the stability of society, there are many societies that are racially homogenous that are shitholes. So there's clearly other factors at work.
>the fascist dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party, China
>millions of Uyghur Muslims, who are being put in concentration camps for the actions of a small handful.
Fascist Communists. Commie Nazis.
We live in a world where people pretend, perhaps thanks to the benefits of western civilization, that humanity isn't cruel. That we don't fight over resources or land or religion or just because. Conflict between the Chinese and the Uyghurs goes back centuries. The reality is that there are only two possible outcomes for the scenario. The Uyghurs either succeed in gaining autonomy and establish a muslim state, or the Chinese succeed in their attempts to re-educate them away from Islamic teachings. Well that's not quite true, because the third option is a stalemate, but that's not really an option, because it's only a temporary solution and ultimately both sides want their way. And you know what, despite the criticism, Chinas actions will probably work out for them in the long run. Being weak ultimately means destruction. I expect India to follow suit with Kashmir. These societies have had to put up with the antics of crazed religious extremists for a long time, and ultimately, conflict was inevitable.
>You know. China. As in, the fascist dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party, China. Which is installing security cameras on every street corner and harvesting organs of its citizens.
Yeah pretty despicable, but don't for a minute think it can't or doesn't happen here. It's just that they don't get caught. I mean Planned Parenthood was caught selling baby body parts for instance.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...it-in-court-to-harvesting-aborted-fetal-parts. Still, China at least officially, doesn't seem to like religion. Atheism seems to go hand in hand with Communism. So at least they're consistent. Falun Gong and Islam and perhaps even Christianity are all the same to China I suppose.
>That's what it always boils down to. Acting as though "there are individual good muslims, but the majority are evil terrorists!" is just blindly judging a group based on news clips. It's the opposite - the vast majority of muslims aren't terrorists, the terrorists are the exception. You just don't read that in the news because "local muslim doesn't stab anyone today" isn't exciting news.
Well it doesn't even matter if the vast majority of muslims aren't terrorists. They don't have to be terrorists. They simply have to have a culture that has beliefs that don't mesh with that of society. Even if they themselves aren't all terrorists, so long as they silently support the actions of terrorists, so long as they don't denounce it or work towards reforming their religion, either out of complacency or fear, then they are ultimately incapable of assimilating into society. And it's not just terrorism. It's beliefs. It's the whole package. What do they think about, lets say gay rights? Homosexuality? What do they think about other religions? What do they think about their daughters chosing to date outside of their culture or religion? What do they think about apostates? What do they think about the dress of western women? Swimsuits? Modern fashion? We know what they think, And it's these beliefs that any other group would be criticized for, but you seem to want to give them a pass. Because racism or something.
>Western countries repeatedly performing coups and random drone strikes in the Middle East, constantly upending everyone's lives there, sure isn't winning any allies either.
Well, I'm not a fan of the Bush/Clinton crime families attempts at carving up middle east for their own profit, but to blame it on western countries is just incorrect. Most people in western countries don't give a shit about the middle east and would prefer to have nothing to do with it.
Islam tried to conquer Europe on multiple occasions, my ancestors fought to repel them. So yeah, for me, who is aware of history and all the Islamic agression towards Europeans, of the acts of slavery and forced conversions under penalty of death, repeatedly throughout history, of the slavery that goes on even today in Islamic countries, of the beheadings and stonings and acid attacks in the name of their religion, I'm pretty unsympathetic when things happen back to them, because I see it as karma. As the inevitable repercussions for their actions. Eventually a bully will meet with a bigger bully who just doesn't give a shit and will beat the shit out of them. That's China in this scenario.
But for you, it's just going to somehow just boil down to Racism bad, Muslims good. No deep thinking, no critical understanding of society or history or even human nature. Just a belief that somehow if you sweep problems under the rug, they'll go away and eventually everything will magically work out. Stick your fingers in your ears and go LA LA LA. I suppose I'll never understand such simplistic thinking.
