Even though, strictly speaking, there is no high ground in Florida. Don’t fight hate with more hate; homophobia with xenophobia. I know oppos are good at this, I’m just hoping we can spread it.

You can’t even chime in with facts about something like this without someone skewing your input into something awful for them to argue with

Like I told my friend. It’s perfectly fine to hate extremist Muslims. But The other 99% of Muslims are just like anyone else, except they pray east.

Exactly, Muslims just wanna go to work, hang out with their pals, catch the game, watch netflix just like anybody else.
Why should that bother anyone? Same with anyone who is a member of the LGBT (and extended) community, they are normal folks who just want to live their lives. Why persecute? Most importantly, why kill?

Numerous surveys put support for Sharia law, oppressing Jews and infidels, and rounding up gays in the 20-40% range, so either those don’t meet the cutoff for “extremist” or that 99% is optimistic.
I know this runs against every multiculturalist tenant you’ve been taught, but we’re not making any progress pretending it’s just a couple outliers we need to reach. In many countries these are widespread, mainstream views.

This was an Anerican citizen who obtained all the materials and training he needed to do this here in the US, without aid, subsidy, or contact with any global terror group.
Whether he believed what they believe or not seems incidental.

If these people are so numerous (there are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, meaning that 320 million-640 million would be extremists), these attacks would certainly be more commonplace, since there are only around 2.75 million Muslim people in the U.S.

Are you referring to the poll on Sharia law? If so, please read the following:

And in some Christian countries there is still widespread, even legally codified support for oppressing non believers, torturing and executing lgbt people, etc.
The thing is, America used to at least pretend to believe that you don’t pre judge people based solely on what religion they associate with (something which is often determined just by the culture you’re born into). It’s a tempting way to group people, because figuring out who the racist homophobic assholes using whatever religion as an excuse is harder. But we can’t take the easy religious profiling route because the millions of non assholes get caught up in reactionary hate.

They are extremely commonplace in Eurasia, Southeast Asia and Africa where minority groups of Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Coptics, Taoists, and Hindus are routinely targeted. They are less common in the Middle East because those groups don’t exist.
