    If you raise your kids to believe in Allah you are setting up your grandchildren to live like this. Oppose religion, wherever you see it.

      You can’t just equate religion with fascism. Not that I think religion is ethical or even separable from fascism, but they aren’t the same. Plenty of people practice religion without resorting to extremism.

            If I did I am sorry. There is no way I can make a claim like that. If nothing else the world could end long before the process finished. There is a link between the two but it does not mean that a society with monotheism will have to, 100% of the time with no exceptions, eventually become a fascist one.

          Not the commenter, but I assume they talk about the nature of Abrahamic religions.

          Technically, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are just three updates of the same religion. First came Torah, then it got transformed into the Old Testament and completed with the New one to get the Bible, and then Bible itself got completed to get Quran.

          With that came one abrahamic God - referred to as Yahweh in Judaism, Trinity in Christianity (note: Islam goes back and denies Trinity and godly nature of Jesus, calling him a prophet, not element of God, and rolling back on Holy Spirit, too, reinstating Father God as the only source of godly power), and Allah in Islam.

          Thereby cancelling Allah means also cancelling Trinity and Yahweh, as they’re actually one and the same.

      Well that’s pretty reductionist, and bigoted. If you’re going to judge Muslims by their extremists then you can’t leave out the Christians and Jews. Hell Jewish extremists in Israel are committing genocide as we speak.

          And yet they specifically reference Allah. And elsewhere in the comment section they try and say Allah is different from the Judeo-Christian “God”.

                Literally nobody mentioned race.

                And aside from that, you’re wrong anyway. People criticise “white” religious beliefs too. A lot.

                Like, you’ve never heard people hating on the catholic church and the people who support it for turning a blind eye to sex abuse scandals? Seriously?

                Or about the religious Christian crazies in the US? You’ve never heard about that?

                Or the cult that is Scientology? Is that something you’re unfamiliar with?

                Fuck off with this trying to frame criticising a religion or pointing out its harmful effects as being racial bigotry.

                It’s not racism, and you know it isn’t. You’re just indirectly supporting actual bigotry that Islam pushes against women, LGBT people, and non-believers.

                  Yes. Specific things about Christianity are complained about. That doesn’t mean bigots aren’t out there spreading islamophobia.

                  Oh look an example of someone using an extremist group to paint all Muslims. And trying to cover it with the weird religions in there once.

                  And if you think race is the only kind of bigotry going, I have a bridge to sell you.

                    Specific things about Christianity are complained about.

                    Everything is complained about. More widely than Islam, too.

                    That doesn’t mean bigots aren’t out there spreading islamophobia.

                    Who said they weren’t? This is a complete strawman. I never said nobody hates Muslims, I said complaining about Islam is not bigotry, and you bringing race into this and playing the “if you criticise this you’re a RACIST” is pathetic.

                    And if you think race is the only kind of bigotry going, I have a bridge to sell you.

                    Never said that. That’s another strawman.

                    I think you’ll find I explicitly mentioned homophobia, misogyny, and hatred of infidels in my comment. All things absolutely rife in Islam. And yet, here you are indirectly condoning those viewpoints.

                    I’m a bisexual Indian immigrant. I’m very, very well aware of bigotry. And complaining about backwards hateful religious rhetoric isn’t bigotry.

                    What a disgusting bigot you are. Throwing groups that are treated as subhuman by Islamic institutions under the bus just so you can have some falsified moral high ground by calling everybody who doesn’t like Islamic extremism a racist.

                    Bullshit. People openly disparage and mock Christianity all the time. The difference is that nobody ever gets killed for it. Islam is in dire need of reform. Pointing that out is not a form of bigotry.

                  Oh God, that’s the laugh I needed.

                  Especially because there’s still 10-20 percent depending on your country. And you’re just falling into the propaganda created by the extremists among them.
