People are perfectly happy to condemn Christianity.
Sure, but when a nutjob blows up an abortion clinic in the name of god, you don't see wide calls to stop christians from coming into the country. When a group of christians are waging rape campaigns in some foreign hellhole, christian barbarism doesn't try to make itself a national discussion topic for a while. Stuff like that is sheb's point, methinks.
If you're not willing to tolerate milder echoes of centuries-old barbarity, why are you defending the real thing? Why are you trying to shut down the voices within Islam calling for reform and better treatment of disadvantaged groups? How can you call yourself progressive when you're working to defend people who kill and enslave because of the words of some fucker who lived centuries ago?
Where the blue hell are you getting the idea functionally goddamn anyone is actually doing that, or that TBF was even remotely suggesting it, would be my question. Because something downplayed (which happens with
everything) in some shithole overseas is not defending or ignoring it relative to treatment of other issues, it's ignoring it just as much as people do
when it's christian groups doing it in similar areas (which hey, more likely than not, will be pointedly
not noted as being christian, where that damn sure ain't true for muslim groups). Fucking no one worth mention is calling for relaxed treatment of muslims in the US vis a vis shit like child marriage, or trying to meaningfully suppress muslim voices here or efforts to counter those kinds of behaviors elsewhere.
Bloody hell, you talk about glossing over FD but the same damn thing happens when christian bigots are literally
funding shit like trying to put gays into concentration camps (though, I guess amusingly enough, the example you point out is being given free reign to do it
by a christian country so hey, case in point), or just straight up kill them. Muslims get cut a hell of a lot
less slack, not more, in the US, and most other places in the west, too.
If you're getting a different picture good
god do you need to stop hanging out wherever it is you're picking this shit up from, because it is not even remotely representative of what's happening in this country.
