religion phobic

[randomusername03]

is it acceptable to be religion phobic?

Not religious personally, i lump all moderate religions into a live and let live bucket. but the fundamentalist believers, be it westboro or hamas, i do find myself having a visceral and active dislike/distain for. and its mostly fundementalist islam that im aware due to the modern atrocities they have committed. is it bad to say im fundementalist islamaphobic for example?

I have no idea what’s going on in the States regarding Christian atrocities currently, can you fill me in?

How does your hate manifest itself ?

Mild tutting ?

Seriously? Read the news. Women's rights being set back 100 years by fundamentalist Christianity influencing the GOP.

Completely agree with you. They turn atheism into a religion, which is SO missing the point.

No I have no idea what you’re referring to.
What terrorist acts have been carried out?

This is just Wikipedia, but there are links for further reading. India. Hindus against Muslims.

Go read Project 2025.

Hmmm I would say that Christianity has plenty of flaws. Look at the priests who turned out to be peadophiles, grooming young boys. Their laws on abortion and basically making it impossible for women, thinking of Ireland and now the US with their laws.

I would also argue whilst there is benefit to the wider society, through charity work and humanitarian assistance, it’s not always altruism. They do good in the hope to get something out of it (a place in heaven)

I don’t think religion has any business in politics and should never be something on which laws are based. The barbaric way some religions view women, who have zero rights is appalling.

Violence is not just about terrorism.

The missiles used in the US army have a psalm engraved on the side of them. It’s not shouted when it’s fired, but close enough.

what should I change about the delivery? people who I've discussed this with appear to understand what im saying and fall into two camps, they either agree or they try to shut down discussion with insinuations/accusations of islamaphobia.

does hate have to manifest itself? isn't the feeling enough?

They historically defended themselves from being butchered by Muslims!

All religions oppress women. As a feminist, why would I support that?

Mmm
Well that’s not exactly acts of terrorism!

Would you say that if I was calling out some American Christians for being totally against abortion, or the Catholic Church’s mother’s homes where babies were murdered? Or is it just some religions which should be free from criticism no matter what.

I saw a post that basically said “all religious wars and acts of terror are brought about by grown men, who believe their imaginary friend is better than the other grown men’s imaginary friends”.

So you would lock people up for their feelings ?

Wow.

islam, and I mean the fundamentalist kind, are the only ones I've ever had the misfortunate to be in close proximity to

Exactly how many religions IS Islam @randomusername03?

what are you on about? you asked about how my hatred of extremists manifests? I think most people know know how extremists hatred manifests.

It's rare for anyone to shout out loudly against Islam because of the fear of what happens next.

Despite all the child rape gangs, bombs, terrorist acts, mass migration, them telling us directly that they're going to take over, despite ALL of that, the majority of people in this country think that Islam is okay.

I honestly lie awake at night worrying about what is happening here.

i dont know how many strands there are, does anyone? but its definitely split into moderate islam and fundementalist islam.

I mean I hate Catholicism after growing up in a very catholic Ireland - horrible religion full of disgusting treatment of woman by the Magdalene laundries , pervert and paedo priests, horrible abuse

i also have a problem with pretty much all religions and organisations like this ! I don’t get why you can’t just say that

I am on about what I am on about.

Unless you express your feelings how does anyone know what they are ?

What happens if you keep them to yourself ? Asking for a friend.

I disagree with Zionism, and saying that gets you accused of being Anti semetic. So, based on that logic being anti islam extremist does make you some kind of phobic, even though I don't actually believe that to be true.

I think it's okay to criticise the extremists in any religion as long as you understand it's only a percentage who do these atrocities and don't hate the innocent ones.
