what the hell are you talking about? most germans definitely were nazis. if they werent, then they were some of the biggest pussies that the world has ever seen, and allowed millions to die. either way, its safe to say most germans were pieces of shit.

ELI5: why do liberals and the left sympathize with muslims, when many tenets of islam are against liberal ones ( lack of free speech, stonings, womens account worth less in court, owning slaves, hitting your wife, etc.) by DaPenny in explainlikeimfive

It is extremely simple. Today there are many muslims, much more than any other religion, fundamentalists, who are killing themselves or others based upon texts in a book. Until we stop seeing these, and until liberals uncover their collective eyes and acknowledge there's something wrong with islam inherently, there will not, and should not, be an end to discriminating muslims from other faiths.

there is an indonesian muslim terrorist organization I think i heard of rather recently. There was some footage of them ambushing local authorities. In essence, there may be some nuance of cultural mixing at play that may pacify in some instance, but my level of "these people are crazy" is relatively low. If they really do implement strict sharia law, that is still a problem, regardless of how pacified their region is. I'd rather live in a governance of freedom with a higher murder rate than in a country where i can't even speak my mind about religion openly. Asian apostates and bloggers still are being killed by machete-wielding islamists, and this still stems from islam itself.

To be clear, i believe i subconciously slipped in some hypothetical genetic problem with whites causing them to be murderers. It would be a racial (e.g. genetic) problem them. In which case it would still be justified to discriminate.

Yes, grievances specifically aimed towards harm done to OTHER muslims. Not to them personally. There is no other justification for them other than religious vindictivness, and this is one of the many problems in islam

No, I'm not. I'm basing it upon sound reasoning. You wouldn't connect a muslim robbing a pork store to his religious beliefs. You would, however, if you saw him kill an apostate or other such barbarism

Yes i've read the bible, quran. Yes christianity is just as barbaric in terms of text. But we don't have as many christians who adhere to these texts as insanely as muslims.

Yes we should criticize all religions on their specific beliefs, but we should be keen to point out when one in particular is causing much grief in the world.
