Damn poors, buying all that Canadian real estate!
You think we can't tell you're talking shit about Muslims, if you don't say the word "Muslims." My rights as a queer person have never been put in jeopardy by that religious ideology. "Western culture," itself a dog whistle into a megaphone, is the origin of the actual Nazis. They too demonized immigrants.
The only reason Muslims haven't put your rights in jeopardy is because they don't have institutional power yet. They will get institutional power if they keep immigrating, like all immigrant groups do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_the_Middle_East
Oh no, then they might be as bigoted as you.
You're in denial.
'Conservative Christians are as bigoted right now as you think conservative Muslims would be.'
'You're in denial over how bigoted Muslims would be!'
Sir, do you own a mirror?
Heres a question, is it good to be bigotted against Nazis?
Contradiction in terms.
The fact you're obviously conflating an entire religion with Nazis is disgusting, and once again ignores that I am telling you, Christians already push some heinous shit in this country, to-day.
Are you sure you want to talk about dogma versus practice? Are you sure you want to paint an entire demographic based on the loudest and most violent assholes among them? Because it's not gonna go well for you, the self-professed conservative, no doubt aligned with quite a fucking lot of devout Christians who want my blood.
Nice dodge. Could you answer the question please?
Do you still beat your wife?
At Mario Kart? Every damn day!
No, answer the question. Do you still commit domestic violence? Questions can't be wrong... apparently. There's no possible way you expressed bigotry through the medium of analogy. So tell me if you still hit your wife.
Thats a loaded question. Is "is it okay to be bigoted against nazis?" a loaded question?
Yes, calling opposition to Nazis bigotry is a loaded question. It's a contradiction in terms. Welcome to six hours ago.
And the painfully obvious thrust of that question is that you're trying to justify bigotry against Muslims.
And again I ask you - how do you feel about all of the fucking Christians who are already here, doing Nazi shit?
Oh if you cant be bigoted against nazis, then im not bigoted against people who condone rape. Remember not all muslims believe that, just some from a certain culture.
Being against rape isn't bigotry.
Being against Muslims because you assume they love rape is.
Judging people because of presumed beliefs, based on where they're from or what religion they are, is what prejudice is. It's not fucking complicated. You're just grasping for excuses to treat other people as lesser human beings.
And again I ask you - how about all the specific Christians who demonstrably want ten-year old rape victims to give birth? I'd bet anything your broad brush doesn't extend to that whole "culture."
Sharia explicitly blames rape on the victim. Heres a ten second google search on how many support sharia.
https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2013/04/30/the-worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-beliefs-about-sharia/
"In South Asia, high percentages in all the countries surveyed support making sharia the official law, including nearly universal support among Muslims in Afghanistan (99%). More than eight-in-ten Muslims in Pakistan (84%) and Bangladesh (82%) also hold this view. The percentage of Muslims who say they favor making Islamic law the official law in their country is nearly as high across the Southeast Asian countries surveyed (86% in Malaysia, 77% in Thailand and 72% in Indonesia)."
Assuming all Muslim immigrants want Sharia law is bigotry.
And I will ask you again - how about the specific Christians pushing anti-queer legislation, here and now, to-day? Do you speak English? Do you know what the question means? Can you figure out how this might relate to your naked prejudice against a a billion people?
Can you name specific anti-queer legislation that is actually discriminating? Nothing that wouldnt be applied equally to everyone, specific to queer people.
Right, so there arent any laws, no specifics, just you having rage, hatred, and bigotry. Got it.
