Islam groups calling for caliphate in Germany, aibu to be petrified?

I refuse to watch mainstream news as I no longer trust what is being reported, instead I watch a channel on YouTube called Tousi TV, the man behind the channel is a Persian born journalist who sought refuge in the UK when he was a young child with his mother, his ratings are beating mainstream news channels in the polls, definitely worth having a look.

I truly believe in fairness and justice for all. I just wish everyone could live in peace with each other regardless of religion, skin colour, or sexuality

How do you feel about tightening up the laws on homophobia similar to what you have requested for islamophobia?

Islamophobia on the rise. Getting more anxious and worried that it is getting out of control.

No functioning democracy should have laws against blasphemy.

It’s not one size fits all when it comes to Muslims. We are not all the same. A lot of us believe, any and all oppression no matter who does it is wrong. Live and let live. Fairness and justice for all.

Absolutely there can be organisations that promote violence and radicalise people. What they cannot do is bring in Sharia law by themselves. Only 6% of the population of Germany are muslim, of which I’m betting that a reasonable chunk actually don’t really want Caliphate either.

Yes no thanks from me too.

Criticism is fine if it’s based on facts not fear mongering and hatred.

Any phobia is disgusting including homophobia and Christianophobia.

islam is the fastest growing religion due to the birth rate.

I notice in your next post you request laws to support the Muslim community for example around decency. Do you mean going back on all the work done on women’s rights? I also note you say women are taught to respect their husband.

where do I fit in your plans as a gay Christian woman.

Laws on blasphemy for whom? I don’t believe in blasphemy and I will remain free to criticise any religion as I live in a country where that is allowed. Decency is subjective and I will not tolerate having someone else’s religious beliefs imposed on me. Thanks but no thanks.

What decency and blasphemy laws would you like to see?

2016

Please do explain what respecting your husband means and give us some examples.

Interesting choice of thread for a new poster

Apologies I didn’t think I had quoted correctly. I don’t believe any dehumanisation is happening. Much good is done by religious groups. But equally no individual or group should be exempt from questioning nor criticism.

Fox News tells lies, and if it's not 100% a lie, then it's twisted and over distorted to fit their narrative.

So many people burying their heads in the sand, OP has a valid point.

This was more concerning (salafists carrying out sharia patrols) as it did happen: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WuppertalSharia_Police_incident

YANBU, but look for other news sources to see how credible this was and the response.

No you aren't being unreasonable in the slightest.

I think you’ll find it’s Christians.

• Around 365 million Christians are subject to “high levels of persecution and discrimination”. This compared to 340 million in 2021 (PDF).
• 1 in 7 Christians are persecuted worldwide, including 1 in 5 in Africa and 1 in 7 in Asia. This compared to 1 in 8 worldwide in 2021 (PDF).
• 4,998 Christians were killed for faith-related reasons. 90% of those killed were in Nigeria, where attacks on Christians have become more common since 2020 as part of a wider rise in political violence against civilians. Open Doors estimates the number of Christians killed for faith-related reasons worldwide was 5,621 in 2023, 5,898 in 2022, and 4,761 in 2021.
• 14,766 Churches and Christian properties were attacked.
• North Korea, Somalia, Libya, Eritrea, and Yemen had the highest rates of reported persecution against Christians.

…Afghanistan took over the top spot from North Korea this year. Open Doors explains that it long was “impossible to live openly as a Christian in Afghanistan. Leaving Islam is considered shameful, and Christian converts face dire consequences if their new faith is discovered. Either they have to flee the country or they will be killed.”

A few thousand idiots turned up to that specific rally, at that specific date and time.

A few thousand idiots can radicalise a few thousand more, who can kill a few thousand more.

I am sorry to read that. I don’t mean to say that no one else is persecuted. Just highlighting that spreading fear of Islam when tens of thousands of Muslims (women, children (babies) and men) have been killed shows complete lack of any compassion in the part of the posters on here spreading fear and hatred. It implies their deaths are ok. As a Muslim I felt hurt and disappointed yet again that my religion was being used again to dehumanise us.
