Quote:Most Muslims don't do any of the practices he points to nor any of those practices required to be a MuslimTrue, which is why I'm not against taking in Muslim migrants and I'm against discrimination based on religion. You know what's also true? Most people who fly the stars and bars don't shoot up black churches or own slaves.
I'm well aware that 9/11 was a response to American aggression and I don't blame Islam for it. A flag was not to blame for what Dylann Roof did either. He was fucked in the head so he went and killed a bunch of people. Let's put the subject of Islamic terrorism aside and just focus on the homophobia aspect of it. Under Islamic law, homosexuality is not allowed, and you know what the punishment can be or has been. So yeah, Islamic texts are fucked. The Christian texts are fucked. The Jewish texts are fucked. The confederacy was fucked. I'm not telling you to venerate the flag. But like you acknowledged, symbols and religious texts pretty much mean a different thing to each person you ask. A person can be liberal, black, or whatever, and since they were raised to think the flag was about southern pride, that's how they've always seen it. It's the same thing as having a gay Muslim, or a liberal Muslim, or a progressive Muslim. You just need people to hate because you get off on hate in a very similar way that the white nationalists do. It's an addiction for you, and you love to hate. It's brings you joy, and you couldn't live without it.
