I don't think you do either.

I always thought it was okay to hate people for not believing in the same things as you. When did that become a social standard? When is society going to live up to that standard?

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

Remember when there were paramilitary, international groups that organized and inspired Jewish attacks on anti-Semitic countries and groups to an extent that caused thousands of deaths worldwide?

I like to think I'm not an Islamophobe, but the current situation with right wingers being prejudiced against muslims still does not parallel anti-Semitism.

Yeah, and there was never evidence to back this up versus a bunch of people who are sick of people being murdered by extremists. You're taking a complex issue and over simplifying it and in the process alienating a group of people that feel alienated already.

The complexity of "why" is kinda trumped by the simplicity of, you know, "actual real world deaths".

Nobody on here would want a Muslim majority voting block in their country. Accepting that as an obvious truth at some point every non-muslim is going to ultimately be Islamaphobic.
