MODERATORS
Hey, thats me.
For the record, the article doesn't mention anything about islam or Muslims, and the comments in the post neither, so the mods saw "homophobic attack" and went "better remove it because Islamophobia"
Ironically, very Islamophobic of the mods.
I figured they just read Lesbian as Lebanon/Lebanese and got confused.
According to other comments here, it's more an LGB subreddit.
Brains are weird sometimes.
I mean if you were going to guess the religion of those involved... yeah, Islam would be the one right?
Moderations pretty hard tbh, sorry your post got taken down bro.
I agree with you that all religions are shit, but I think it's important and we should be able to point out when a specific religion is fucking us up.
In Berlin there has been a lot of homophobic attacks coming from the muslim community, especially in that area where there are a lot of them.
Maybe you were unware of that, but I think its very very likely that the attackers were muslims.
That doesn't mean that Christianity is better, nor any other religion, but do we really need to be pointing out the homophobia in the muslim religion and ALWAYS followed by and Christianity is also shitty? There are posts criticizing the homophobic and transphobic acts that Christians have been doing lately too.
In Berlin it's basically given the perpetrators were Muslims.
yes but if you read the article linked in the reddit theread anouther comment mentioned this was in Berlin-Neukölln, which is predominantly muslim and known to have issues with (esp. young men/boys) radicals opposing queer people.
I totally agree that christians (or any religion/religion-like structure) can be and in the case of Christianity often is just as bad.
I want to make it clear that I do not think that it is generally significantly more likely for the islam faith to cause queerphobia than it would be for any other one. It is just that in this particular region (Berlin-Neukölln) and demographic (young men) that would be the most likely perputrators.
Homophobia is not a religion-only issue. There are many LGBT hate crimes happening all over the world and all the time. The world in its entirity has failed LGBT, and to single out Muslims or Christians is to ignore those issues happening in other places.
Christians are obsessed with persecuting LGBT as well, but Islam is on a whole other level. People are still getting stoned to death for being LGBT in Muslim countries. This is supported by their laws. In any Christian majority country, they would be thrown in prison for murder for doing this, at the very least. In some Muslim countries, you would be thrown in prison for trying to stop the murder.
I'm not saying that Christians never commit acts of violence against LGBT, but Muslims do so a lot more in current times.
In my opinion, the world would be better off without all of the Abrahamic religions. Is being an Abrahamicphobe wrong?
I do think they are salivating to do the same. They just aren't in charge of any countries. Not all Muslims are bad either, but a good chunk of the worst ones seem to be in charge of some whole countries in an authoritarian way. That's the difference.
I said that both are terrible for the world, and I hate them both equally. I have Islamic family, and I still hate it.
Also, idk why you had to downvote me. Just conversating here. Just sharing the fact that, in reality, LGBT are being killed by one group in particular. Hope you have a nice day ya crabapple.
Sure it could be. Just wondering are you a muslim? I mean I know that there are progressive muslims. Not trying to attack you or anything :)
The vast majority of anti-LGBT attacks in Europe, or even Germany specifically, are not Muslim.
We got sources on that?
Mods are like: hey, sorry we had to delete your post. Blame the Muslims!
Maybe the mods have been on the internet for more than a week and knows what happens in those sorts of comment sections and don't want to sit at their computers all day dealing with that shit?
Do any of you people think before screaming injustice and reverse racism?
