I didn't know what you meant by mosque. I assumed you meant what the word mosque means, because that's how language works. You should learn what words mean before you say them, and if you make a genuine mistake, then admit it is your own fault. I cant be expected to decipher what you meant when you say things wrong.

It would be great if this was merely a vocabulary mistake and the whole thing was one big misunderstanding, but that doesn't quite make sense. If you never meant to bring up Muslims at all, then why did you misuse the Arabic words shahid and jihad. Shahid means a Muslim martyr, and jihad means a fight against the enemies of Islam. I'm not sure what you thought they meant, but you sure do misuse words relating to Muslims an awful lot. Do you seriously expect me to believe that you thought all 3 of those words have absolutely nothing to do with muslims, and were instead about religion in general; especially when you use every other word nearly perfectly?

bro, google mosque. and see what it will tell you.

You're literally dramatizing every bit of argument I make into pieces of paragraphs.

a) You say I do ranting, when I literally never insulted anybody and I just got into a series of logically placed conclusions even supported by national statistics. b) Now you complain about "bro wtf you dont know what mosque means?" like a grammar nazi. it's literally your only argument and you made a whole essay about it.

You're bad at discussing with people. Chill a bit.

I know what mosque means. It is a Muslim place of worship. Are we not clear on this?

As I said, if this is a misunderstanding, that would be great. If your point was simply that people building more things specific to their culture is a detriment to your country, then we could have a normal conversation about it.

My problem is that you said mosque, which is specific to Muslims. You also repeatedly misused two Arabic words relating to Islam. And you never once mentioned any other religion, or any secular group.

Now you are evading my questions about why. You completely ignored the most important part of what I said. Why do you only use muslim specific words when you talk about immigrants? If you still don't answer this then I'm giving up on talking to you.

Bro, are you aware, that Islam is literally the 2nd religion on earth right now with 2 billions of people? It's not like I'm talking about a minority here. lol. You're so offended that I'm looking at 2 billion people out of 8 on earth? Maybe you're the biased one? Not me?

edit: Plus Greece, where I'm from, is literally the next country right next to the Muslim ones? Like, it makes completely sense for a Muslim to travel to Greece to go to Europe? Like it doesn't get too much complicated logical conclusions to understand my view. Come on dude. Let's restart this conversation or just stop here.

So earlier you say you weren't talking about Muslims, now you say you were. Which is it?

Even if you had completely pure intentions, how could you possibly blame me for thinking you were prejudiced against Muslims after reading your first response?

[–] exapsy 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

your mental gymnastics. I said YOU are talking about the 2nd religion on earth. YOU. Like ... wtf your mental gymnastics to make me racist in front of your eyes. You've already decided. You dont need my arguments. lmao

Do you think I'm fucking stupid? You literally said you are talking about them.
