This is referring to Georgia the state in the USA, btw.
Don't rely on religious people to back LGBTQ, as most of the LGBTQ hate comes from religions like islam, christianity, and judiaism. Their holy hate books support their LGBTQ hate, and have for thousands of years.
Don't mix religion and government, that's how you get nazis and project 2025. The muslim or jewish versions are no better.
muslim mentioned
islamophobia disguised as "rationalism" activated!!
She's not mixing religion and government. She just happens to be a Muslim who is also a politician. But if that itself is a problem I wonder if you say this to every Christian and Jewish politician too?
She seems like one of the rare few religious people who actually gets it and cares, but I agree with being wary of religious politicians in general, because most do NOT get it and do not want to.
People have said the same thing about Zohran Mamdani btw, despite him being extremely vocal about his support for trans rights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvVSpN0BXg
This is just islamophobia. People are people, I take them at face value.
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.
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
Don’t mix religion and government, that’s how you get nazis and project 2025.
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.
Agreed. Look at the most Nazi state, Israel.
Conflating zionism with judaism is antisemitic. Conflating Islam with the political extremists using it as cover is islamophobia.
I don't understand your response.
Israel is a country
Israelis are citizens
Nazi is evil
Israelis are acting like Nazis
Israelis are evil
I don't see any politics, religion or prejudice in that.
the comment its replying to is talking about religious politicians.
Oh, right. baka infers...
Hmm, I'm a little dull this morning.
Get some coffee 😁
