Huh? That's always what happens. Not on this forum, but in general.
No hypocrisy on my part.
Alpha is buying this otherism crap sold by the right.
Blasphemy and criticism is not the same as bigotry.
The morons on the right have far more to worry about dying from someone BORN HERE than any immigrant.
"They do it!" isn't an argument to justify bigotry. No shit, yes they do, because our species has always had violent people worldwide.
"He murdered people and praised Allah."
Again, yeas and NO SHIT. Any religion can be used to justify violence and has been.
Alpha isn't doing what say Ayaan Hirsi Ali does. He isn't doing what We do here. He is buying into ignorance and fear.
He is trying to argue we are demanding nobody ever criticize religion which fucking stupid considering this is an atheist page.
No, all we are saying is don't be an asshole bigot.
