The Islam Thread

**Frownland** · 08-30-2020, 12:07 PM

I was referring to the u.s. presence in the middle east.

Maybe you missed the post but OH said that he doesn't care about the US indiscriminately murdering Iranians because of their "poisonous sand monkey cult".

It was a pretty bad take imo.

So basically because anti Islamic talking points are used in war propaganda then you are linking his obsession with the flaws of that religion with said propaganda. More likely his obsession is due to the taboo around the subject which draws in certain iconoclasts like moths to a flame.

I think the mods took the post down though. It was pretty rough.

So you actually thought, "Hmm, maybe I did say that."?

I was broadbrushing. Everybody has their own brand of plausible deniability.

I'm not going to take a position on the Islam debate (yet) - but perhaps some examples would help.

Do we have some examples about problems inherent to Islam or the common practice of the religion that manifest themselves in ways that differentiate Islam from other religions (and their current common practice)? Examples/sources might be more productive for debate if we all want to be on the same page.
