Where is this specifically islamophobia rather than just anti-religiousness?
It being a response to an article about a muslim woman???
And they mention two other religions, and criticise religion generally. This is not targeted at Islam specifically and exclusively.
I don't buy that. The comment is in response to this article. Generalising it doesn't make it less prejudice. That's like saying it's not antisemitic to walk into a* synagogue and start shouting about how all religion is evil.
No, it isn't. You're just being reactionary.
You made up a completely separate scenario that involves an individual going to a specific location to target a specific group of people.
In this scenario, a person saw a random article in their feed that happens to mention the legislator's faith. And that person commented generally on all faith (but especially Abrahamic faiths) being dangerous.
They didn't seek out an article about muslims to target muslims.
If the article was about a Jewish legislator or Christian legislator where their faith is directly mentioned in the headline, the comment's intent and meaning would remain identical.
"I saw a random place of worship and wandered right in."
That's just intellectual dishonesty. Stop coping and grow up.
I'm the one coping? You managed to be that upset at me you replied in two different comment chains.
Ironic and hypocritical that you would call me out for something you did in the same comment chains.
stop coping and grow up.
me when I can't argue anything of substance against the smarter person but I still want to be willfully ignorant and keep doing the stupid shit I'm doing
#iamverysmart
the smarter person
:3 "i can't win an argument with substance so instead I'll just have my friends come defend me with memes"
ok pal. love u.
big all [minority] people know each other energy
Cry more. What minority group, trans? Same, sister! So maybe why don't you keep to relevant arguments, maybe?
You're the one that assumed a fellow Blahajian was my friend ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah for sure, I totally believe that you two don't know each other lol. Good cover!
There's like 10k users on blahaj, besides I thought you were very smart?
Btw, let me be clear:
I'm not smart.
Just smarter relative to you.
Sure, sure, whatever you say.
i miss u can we end on good terms
Thank you.
Yes, the fact that you're from the same instance is why I think you two know each other. Not the fact that you're both active at the same time, responding to me in tandem, and going several comments deep in different comment threads to defend each other against me. How many comments deep were we when your friend responded to me the first time, again?
Two people online at the same time disagreeing with you?? Even though you are soooooo much smarter?? Why it's a conspiracy I tells ya!
Or maybe you're the dumbest person here. Certainly the loudest. Are you by chance a CS major?
lol
Why, pray tell, would I bother? I was already shitposting in response to you. I think you just have a highly inflated ego 🤭
For sure.
I dont even know Norah but she clearly made a more substantive argument, that you just accused of "intellectual dishonesty" and declared yourself the "smarter" person, get some perspective lol
Did she? Did she make a substantive argument? Pretty sure she just said some stupid shit comparing intentionally walking into a specific place of worship with an article being in someone's feed. They're not really comparable for, well, a LOT of reasons. So no, she didn't say anything substantive to me.
Yes she did. She did make a substantive argument. Pretty sure she just said some clever shit comparing intentionally walking into a specific place of worship with intentionally walking into a specific article in someone’s feed. They’re really comparable for, well, a LOT of reasons. So yes, she did say something substantive to me.
Hang on, gotta triple comment because holy shit this is just staggering.
If you think deliberately physically transporting yourself to a location to enact a show of hatred is the same as leaving a comment on an article that popped into your feed is, in ANY WAY comparable, that means you are too chronically online. Those are just not comparable things, and to act like they are makes you delusional.
Well I was just trying to mirror how "substantive" your comments are but, if you think deliberately physically transporting yourself to a location to enact a show of hatred is not the same as deliberately physically opening an article about a muslim person that popped into your feed to enact a show of hatred is, in ANY WAY incomparable, that means you are too chronically online. Those are very comparable things, and to act like they are not makes you delusional.
delusional rambling and elementary school level rhetoric that makes you look even dumber
ok bud
"Intentionally walking into a specific article in someone's feed" 😭 holy shit get a grip
lol. ok bud.
Usually the Religion isn’t mentioned in the headline, so maybe that’s what prompted them to make that comment?
Except it is often in the headline if the person is islamic...
That’s on the people writing headlines though, not on the commenter
They chose to respond that comment to this article. Whether it was in the headline or not is irrelevant.
Punching at all religions equally is not equitable since one is the dominant religion oppressing others. Also reducing a religion to its book is just a profound misunderstanding of what religion is. And is completely ignorant of the history of homophobia in muslim countries which is largely influenced by the colonial powers occupying it.
And going from "muslim woman" to "she's like the american taliban" is just racist.
I love that u ended ur point with something you completely made up and didn't happen.
I get what ur saying in the first half, tho, i just dont agree
Thats scaremongering that letting a muslim into congress will lead to what people call the "american taliban" simply on the basis of her being muslim. That's racist.
You keep putting "american taliban" in quotes, but you're not quoting anyone present. You're the only one here using that terminology.
You see, from my perspective, I see the candidate's religion being Islam as a plus at first glance. It probably means they'll have a better policy on the Palestinian genocide, for example. Or be better for brown people in general.
I think, on lemmy, that's how most people are going to interpret that headline.
That's just an atheist pointing out that Islam is no better than the other Abrahamic religions, from my perspective. The way I interpret this is that the fact that she is muslim is being used as a positive spin, when at best it is a neutral spin that doesn't even need mentioned.
Incorrect, since muslims get mentioned on every negative thing in the headlines, therefore not mentioning it on positive things hides the positive news out of the muslim community while highlighting the negatives.
I mean, it's a leftist article being posted in a leftist space, so... no. Doesn't need to be mentioned here.
I mean, it’s a leftist article that might be visible outside of a leftist space, so… yes. It does need to be mentioned here.
ok bud
