I know most of them are normal people. I'm not an idiot. This is simply an outburst.
They are normal people. That's the whole point. There's nothing out of the ordinary about calling them a bunch of cunts. I could say the same about Christians, like some others did, and no one would bat an eyelid. Yet if we talk about Muslims the same way, suddenly something doesn't sit right. Why is that? Bigotry of low expectations? Can anyone see the irony in that?
You asked for 1.6 billion people to fuck off and die. If you called for all chritans to fuck off and die I would ask you to calm down for the same reasons. I am not defending Islam I am defending people who happen to be Islamic from being labelled evil because of your prejudiced views.
First of all, your excuse is pathetic, and I'll tell you why. But before I do that, let me just add, that this here is a heated topic for me, so please don't take my tone personally and don't get offended. So I apologize for what I just said and what I'm about to say.
I've seen with my own two eyes posts about putting Catholics in jail or killing them outright. Posts that got kudos, both of them if I remember correctly. I've seen similar posts in the more distant past as well. So I'm just not going to believe you when you say you'd react the same to an attack on Christians. I just won't. You're just saying that because I pointed out the elephanty double standard in the room.
My labeling them evil is right on. They are evil because they subscribe to an evil religion. Just like Christians are. Only Muslims are far worse.
I cannot stress this enough. Islam is an ideology, not a birthright. It's not a race. It's not something you get born into. It's a set of ideas. It's a very backwards, violent and idiotic set of ideas that is holding society back, just like most religions are. Islam is the worst, though.
Should people be pressured into disavowing those ideas? Yes, they should. Should they be treated like holocaust deniers in public? Yes, definitely.
Your problem is, I think, you're reading more in my words than there is there to be read. I'm nothing if not honest and straightforward, so go ahead and ask me whatever ridiculous notion you happen to be thinking about me right now. I don't know, something like do I actually feel violent towards Muslims as a group? Do I really want them killed?
Do I even need to answer that, or are you going to admit just how silly those kinds of questions are?
