The xenophobic anti-Muslim lobby is still present as it seems; despite the many hits its concepts have received.
The biggest surprise that I still have with the anti-Muslim mentality is this: how is it still authentic to blame Muslims for the world's huge problems?
From Coronavirus to the possession of fatal nuclear weapons by non-Muslim countries; up to the almost crazy-uncountable selling of weapons by non-Muslims; is blaming Muslims for any problem in western society is a worthy cause or a simple spicks and specks drawn by a greedy person with a hate complex and a need for a cause to gain votes in an election or more cash ?
In my opinion, the right's xenophobia would never end, because it is in the essence of any society since the dawn of time.
The Internet has allowed me to see that there really is an astonishing amount of bigotry in the world.
I don't know if it was always there, and got more visible because of computers, or if the Internet tends to spread it. Maybe both.
Recently on Twitter I discovered that there's a big overlap among people who prefer traditional art, architecture, and urban design with white supremacy. Any photo of a nice street in a traditional town will soon draw anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim comments.
And of course you can't talk sense to such people, because their bigotry isn't based on reason in the first place.
Wrong. Islam is wrong because it is wrong. That is not bigotry, it is observation of fact.
