It is fine to have a conversation about Male violence while keeping the greater picture in perspective. Which this thread has failed to do.
This argument is frankly infertile.
To summarise, the victims and their families and the primary affected community believe to prevent this in the future:
1- there needs to be an end to the dehumanisation of Muslims which is a breeding ground for white supremacists and islamophobia. This means respecting their views and right to choose them and practice them without harassment and disrespect.
2- there should be stricter measures to tackle islamophobia and religious hatered Aimed at the Muslims communities by tackling ignorance and encouraging familiarity so one can build their own understanding as opposed to rely on biased media. And by cracking down on islamophobic remarks that seem to pigeonhole Muslims in one category.
Of course debating Male violence and religious intolerance comes under these as most evil has shared elements but most of the arguments I’m seeing above are exclusive of these and completely dismissive of the main point.
I have seen a lot of dehumanisation, treating death as a secondary matter with a double standard that won’t apply to any other terror attack, imposing on someone else’s practices with supremist mentality, sympathy with islamophobia, and complete ignorance and lack of interest in familiarising yourselves from the correct source.
Those that this applies to know themselves so no need to name and shame. Doesn’t apply to everyone though and thanks for those who kept true to their compassionate selves.
So I’m sorry, this thread belong to the victims before anyone else and on their behalf I shall “dictate” where the focus should be.
Plz OP, I am writing this full of sorrow over the tragedy and this thread is making me lose hope in humanity. Just move it to a place where it can receive the respectful type of attention.
