  • the other is a (potentially harmful) ideology, which you have the power to distance yourself from.

    Tell that to every gay muslim who can’t speak out.

    It’s so frustrating constantly seeing people use the “Muslims stoning gay men to death” thing while never thinking about those gay men other than as a fucking scapegoat.

    As for your shit about one is a trait you’re born with that you have no control over… You think that doesn’t apply to religion? You think that a dude born in the middle of Saudi Arabia is going to get a say on what religion he grows up under?

    Yes. Religion has problems. Many fucking problems. But handwaving it away as something that you have no control over is a minimization of reality and a fundamental demonstration that you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

    Don’t use us gay folk as an example for your hatred when you don’t care about the gay folks INSIDE of that group. Things are not as black and white as you want to believe that they are.

    And all of that without bothering to point out that you’re being just as bigoted by acting like every single Muslim is absolutely the same.



  • First, religion is not a race.

    Might want to educate yourself on what racism is because Islamophobia is considered a subset of racism. Source 1, Source 2, Source 3.

    Second, I’m from place where muslims (very secular ones at it) are significant minority.

    Which is irrelevant unless OP lives in the same area you’re from. You also did not clarify that and spoke about Muslims as a whole, you did not clarify level of secularity.

    Third, I’ve been in the situation outlined, and heard of similar from people in this situation.

    I doubt anecdotal evidence from you personally is reflective of reality in your area, nevermind world wide.

    Also there were at least two religiously minded honor killings that I know of one involved tatar (muslim) family, another cyhan (christian) family.

    And again, anecdotal evidence from your specific area. That isn’t reflective of reality and it is racist as shit for you to go “My experiences reflect reality as a whole.”

    So. I say again. What is this racist bullshit? Fuck off, dude.



  • At best, they will be upset

    At worst, they will murder

    Jesus fucking christ.

    First off, at worst, anyone is going to murder anyone. You clearly have never dated someone and met their father who was on the edge of murder.

    Second, at best they won’t be happy? So according to you, every single muslim hates their child dating someone who isn’t muslim and won’t be happy? Guess I better tell that to literally every muslim I’ve dated whose parents didn’t give a solitary shit and were actively supportive of their gay kid. Or my friends who’ve dated/married muslims and were accepted into the families while being Jewish or Atheist or Protestant.

    What is this racist/islamophobic bullshit? Fuck off, dude.

    (Edit: Islamophobia is considered a subset of racism but nonetheless I added it on its own)

    Edit 2: Downvote me all you want. Your value as a human is equivalent to the value you give other humans so I’m really not concerned with what the fuck you think.

    Oh that’s even better because the things you’re resurrecting don’t count towards that total. You’re popping up minions/companions/familiars. They don’t fill up the NPC or PC slots so you can have a whole ass army if you have multiple necromancers.
