It’s boring to me since it’s very easy for me to see the faults of a religion that I have no association with.
I am wondering if there are a lot of exmuslim people here or if it’s people raised in a christian world that just have a specific gripe with islam.
I was raised in a part of the world mostly shaped by christianity and so I was hoping to see more examination of that.
At least for me this is a nice thing.
For context: I live and work in Vienna, I know a lot of muslims and a lot of them are just homo- and transphobic bastards.
It’s ironic that you’re saying this when just a few days ago people were complaining about the lack of criticism towards Islam.
It’s probably due to the fact that some people who criticized Islam on these posts are brigaded by downvotes in their comment history. Basically a fuck you to these zealots who think we give a fuck about their religion.
I live in a Muslim-majority country where Islam is sometimes referred to as “hotel California” - you can convert into it but never out of it.
More posts about Islam, please.
Damn I am sorry
No worries! I’m thankfully not born a Muslim. But I know countless closeted atheists here who are angry because they are forced to be Muslims in public. It’s a good thing that the Fediverse gives them the rare space to express themselves!
We are free of the mods of reddit who would defend Islam.
Christianity in most countries is on the decline and doesn’t actively do really bad shit anymore… unlike Islam, wich is used today as excuses for war, dictatorships, slavery, child marriage, rape, executions and what not. Also its a very strongly proselytized religion that tries hard to spread and sees all other religions or believes as wrong/inferior or as reason to kill the person (especially when Jewish)
So all in all, Ew.
Because fuck them too

i won’t defend the religion but you are mistaking a majority of muslims with a minority of maniacal hotheads. Most muslims don’t give a damn about your life or death and a great majority of them don’t want to live under sharia either.
we should learn to hate the religion without hating people and not confuse the two.
Believers of any religion come in exactly two varieties: extremists and those who provide aid and cover for extremists. The nice old lady down the street doing a bake sale and donating the proceeds to her church is still supporting an institution that hides child molesters, robs the community of their time, money and critical thinking skills and advocates for harmful public policy that strips people of their rights. That last piece is supposed to be prohibited by 501(c)(3) rules in the US but I’m not holding my breath waiting to see those enforced.

you should go talk to some muslims. I seriously advise you to. If you can, travel. Heal yourself.
what you write indeed sounds like a conspiracy theory.
Islam just gets treated with kiddie gloves alot of the time, so when there’s a platform that enables proper criticism of Islam people take the opportunity to vent.
A person who is raised in one version of a restrictive Abrahamic religion is upset their online space to vent about it is also visited by people who are raised in another version of a restrictive Abrahamic religion who want to vet about their experience as well.
Rather than see them as cousins with the same issue, they see them as the other, not realising they are repeating the indoctrination of the religion they claim to have left behind.
So you’re saying that there’s people here that were raised in muslim dominated societies and are posting the anti muslim posts? I wouldn’t have any issue with that. But so far in this thread nobody said this was their experience.
So I still believe that it’s people who were raised like me posting the anti muslim memes.
Ffs you do not need to have personally suffered to point out problems. I wasn’t raised in an Islamic tradition either that doesn’t mean I can’t yell about it.
