A list of lies they tell about Muslims. Just for fun

That we are actively trying to circumvent UK law with Sharia law. Of course we are! Just today I told the magistrate the speeding fine ain't valid, cos I follow sharia ennit, and she let me off!

That protests against the mass bombing in Gaza are antisemitic, and that the police turn a blind eye to it. Yeah right.

What else ladies? There's loads of crap they say about us isn't there.

Yes. This really gets on my nerves. Or that it's mandated by Islam when in fact its a cultural practice. Muslims are actually encouraged to enjoy sex within marriage so its such a stupid one.

It is astonishing how many people have very strong 'knowledge' on what people of the Islamic faith do and don't do when, in fact, they don't actually know any. This is even the case in my own area which has a fairly high Muslim population.

In fact the world would be a much better place if there weren't quite so many people who felt qualified to expound on things they know nothing whatsoever about!

I'd never even heard of FGM till I was an adult, yet when I was pregnant a certain person behind my back was saying they hoped I wouldn't have a girl because they were afraid I'd have it done to her.

Who is your "they", OP?

Idiots?

Something like that :)

I was in the gym a couple of years ago when a group of women were banging on about not being allowed to say Happy Christmas any longer. I guess OP means fools like that?

@LegoHouse274 I think the word you're looking for may be "observant"?

No need for that, it's a perfectly reasonable question.

Not the point but I quite like massive Mohammed

Which is why I answered it in a reasonable and friendly manner. I'm sure many people occasionally get a little alter ego voice in their heads - that they don't then act on.

At my work we aren't allowed to refer to Christmas corporately.

Someone once told me that women are the strictest observers of faith. And from what I've witnessed of men I believe it. I used to be managed by a religious Muslim man who cheated on his wife, smoked and drank. But interestingly he drew the line at bacon.

On a thread about lies told about Muslims, how can you make such a racist comment about a whole group of people?

And what about White Muslims? Do they hate themselves then? Or do they simply not exist in your world?

I don't.

Bosnian & Albanian Muslims are white European people. Do they hate themselves?

Isn't that poster just giving the example of a life that people say about Muslims? I think you and the other poster may have misunderstood?

Yes exactly, thanks! It had escaped me when I was posting!

This is the sort of misplaced ‘sensitivity’ which leads to division isn’t it? I work with people of many faiths here in the UK and worldwide. I’ve never experienced someone of any faith objecting to mention of a festival or celebration associated with a different faith, in fact we all wish each other happy whatever.

So in what way was he religious? 🤔

Asking if we go to the salon or get it done at home is fine. But sometimes when I've casually mentioned I'm getting my hair done I get such incredulous looks and even laughter!

The current "two-tier policing" bullshit is particularly egregious. Utter nonsense.

I’m not sure because the comment was about white people hating Muslims, not the other way round? Doesn’t really make sense to me.

Yep.

My mother's workplace (years ago) sent a memo round saying it was Ramadan and people may be fasting.

Totally tone deaf that just about every faith has a version of fasting, I think the only one that doesn't is Buddhism

Of course it wasn't a Muslim who sent the memo..
