I'll stop you right there. The whole point I'm making is that that's not what has taken place. Sure
@mister dog, if you hate all Muslims, let us know - I haven't read that. I've seen that you perhaps think they're mad for following the faith, that you are suspicious of the cultures it has inspired, but not that you hate all Muslims. Not at all. Please, let us know though. I enjoy demeaning stupid people, and don't want to miss out.
This is what I call a fallacy, it's your application of Implied thought that you not seeing.
Dislike of Islamic culture =/= Dislike of all Muslims.
I've already stressed multiple times that I do not believe hatred of Islamic culture, is in no way equal to hatred of Muslims as a whole! However you both seem very keen to ignore the fact that I have...
Hating a culture, is fine. Hating the entirety of a cultures population, for following said culture, is not. A dislike of Judaism did not cause the holocaust, but the hatred of those who followed it, certainly did. And frankly it’s not your animosity of Islam that’s terrifying (it’s understandable), but your raging hatred towards Muslims.
Perhaps you misunderstand that just because Islam has many evils, does not mean that all those who practice Islam, prescribe to those evils too? Because believe it or not Muslims, like Christians, Catholics, and any other person of religion, has the free will to choose what parts of their religion they folllow.
If I thought of them as both one and the same, I wouldn't be calling one acceptable, and the other not so. If
@mister dog doesn't dislike Muslims in general, I just wonder why he shared this video (
actually watch it for yourself)?
Must have been posted already here, but anyway here it goes:
Need I discuss the problems with this video again? Ben Shapiro openly, and unashamedly, tries to portray the majority of Muslims, as prescribing too the evils of Islam. He even says at the end of the video; radical Muslims are “now a majority”. An untruth that was easy to present as fact as he knew that, despite his deliberate falsification of the Pew findings, and outright lying, most of his followers would never check the Pew’s findings themselves.
At the end of the video Ben also says “it’s fair to assume that similar assume that similar proportions of people in countries like Algeria, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Tunisia, Somalia, and Libya, are also radicalized”. Which in fact isn’t fair at all because, as Pew Research showed, views on most matters in the Islamic world differ greatly among Muslim populations not just in singular countries, but the world over.
When you watch the video, and check the sources yourselves, its prejudice-inspiring motive is obvious. It deliberately ignores the widely differing beliefs among Muslims worldwide
(over many subjects), takes the worst of the bunch, and portrays them as representing the majority. I fail to see how anyone would share something so clearly nonfactual, and hate-mongering, unless it pandered to their personal feelings.
So in Short you have failed to work out the difference between an ideology in words, to a Human species.
Seeing as I identified Islam and Muslims as two different things from the outset, no! No I did not...
Hating a culture, is fine. Hating the entirety of a cultures population, for following said culture, is not. A dislike of Judaism did not cause the holocaust, but the hatred of those who followed it, certainly did.

Again, had I believed them to be one and the same, I'd not have been calling one acceptable, and the other unacceptable! 👍
No of course not, one of my best friends converted to Islam more than 10 years ago, and I give him a hard time about his religion too. When I was living in Belgium I had Turkish and Moroccan friends and there was a time I actually liked Islam and read the Koran because I was generally interested in what all the fuss was about. I only got halfway reading it though as already then I started to see the issues with it, and in the past decade those issues only became more obvious looking at the world and the problems we are facing with ruthless Islamic extremism. That's why again I would like to stress it is of utmost importance that people call out the grave problems with this ideology, as minimising them leads us away from even starting to do something about it and protecting our societies from said Islamic extremism.
There's no issue with calling out the depravity of Islamic culture, as it exists in abundance. What really unsettles me is that video you shared; the issues with which, I have already discussed. It deliberately ignores the widely differing beliefs among Muslims worldwide
(over many subjects), takes the worst of the bunch, and portrays them as representing the majority; despite Pew Research having proven the wide variety in believes. I just wonder why you'd share that video, when it's so clearly flawed?
You just lost plenty of Saudi visitors due to a law that won't effect most of people anyway. I mean who cares if someone got drunk? maybe if he's/she's your son/daughter but some random strangers?
Maybe for you telling where someone's view points rest, without them simply telling you directly, is too mentally challenging?
