It’s not even mildly surprising, to anyone paying attention and given free media attention given to what were once fringe views.
I think though you are also getting a backlash throughout the world in that this white glove woke treatment of Islam that suggest they do not need to rein in the fringe extreme elements within their faith is acceptable is becoming unacceptable. That they are not collectively responsible for the actions of the those that take their faith too literal wears thin. It is akin to the pressures put on the Catholic religion that was expected to clean up their sins of which were far smaller in size. That was expected and maybe it should be expected that the group as a whole becomes responsible
The result is that we are starting to see majority of people begin to say you need to actively denounce and more so, take steps to remove those of your faith that engage in violent methods otherwise we will collectively group you together and effectively punish you. And while maybe this is a hard pill to swallow, that might be the only effective way to change human nature on a large scale.
Oh hey, look everybody another person over generalizing that thinks an entire group of people is responsible for what a few people do.
few people do.
It’s not a few…
The majority simply hold views that aren’t compatible with western modern views. Being gay is a sin, women’s rights aren’t valued, etc.
An excellent example of this is Draw Muhammad day.
Here’s some fun reading.
It’s no different than Christianity, except they don’t believe Jesus was the son of God. The people following the religion are just as varied as Christians. Some people are fundamentalists, while others are extremely liberal, and consider themselves merely spiritual and call themselves christians.
I think Christianity is the same backwards blight on humanity as Islam. They’re equal in their hatred of the ‘others’.
And it’s really the same problem…it’s not ‘some’ Christians that hate progressive values…it’s ‘most’.
For the love of fucking God, we just outlawed abortion.
So don’t pretend any of the ultra religious are good for us as a people.
Bullshit Apples and bullshit Oranges.
Mild pressure is put on the catholic church as an organization (!) to stop actively aiding the still ongoing mass rape of children over multiple continents through their clergy.
That is not even close to the same as expecting all people of Muslim believe to denounce things that completely independent people do that just so happen to also be Muslim.
And don’t get me wrong, Islam might be even more stupid and archaic than Christianity, but your argument just doesn’t hold water at all.
I would go so far as to say that it is likely that this very argument was conceived as a racist fig leaf to have some reasonable sounding argument to not like brown people.
Not that this is necessarily your motivation, but you just publicly repeated it.Being concerned about Muslim extremeism != racism. You’re the reason people like geert are winning. People are tired of bad faith arguments with the left in which common sense is called racism.
You’re the reason people like geert are winning.
Says the apologist repeating some of the rhetoric Wilders and his voters use to try and convince non-islamophobes to vote and behave like islamophobes.
