Well yea, he’s a fucking republican

Radical Muslims have a lot in common with conservatives.

But you see he thinks he is one of the good ones. Surely he will be accepted as the in group.

They’re just house slaves vs the field slaves to the republicans. Just as disposable, but somehow they think they aren’t viewed the same.

Literally what carried them to popularity after 9/11 was they siezed the chance to make the public irrationally terrified of an (all things considered) benign and innocuous minority. Their whole platform FOR THE ENTIRE 21ST CENTURY has been, "Fuck anybody who isn't us, and that goes double for Muslims."

Surströmming out here catching strays.

"They rejected me, called me racist slurs, and demand I get out of their country before.. but surely this time, THIS TIME, they'll accept me!"

I suggest they start having weekly struggle sessions.

Uniformity.

They were on the other side with the others mocking the log cabin republicans.

"They came for the gays, but I didn't stand up because I wasn't gay and I didn't like them either because my shitty bigoted Islam and their shitty bigoted Christianity told us to hate the gays, so it was okay, but the bigotry against ME is where I draw the line"

Seems like a lot of people don't recognize that they aren't "in on it" until it's too late.

I think some of them are sincerely misunderstanding what the word "conservative" means in modern America.

It's too bad "neo-con" didn't stick.

Fuck I hate the long s

Is he even Muslim though?

Helps to remember that this shit is 100% pure projection.

Anti-abortion.

I have the solution - kill all religions

It's because I live and work with Muslims. Turns out there are as many of them who hold values I agree with as there are Christians or Jews.

The biggest difference I see is which groups get hate. I don't see the need to defend Christianity because there's no pervasive disparagement or hostility.
I occasionally defend Judaism because I occasionally encounter disparaging language or people who conflate the nation of Israel with either the ethnic group or the religion.

A lot of people make comments about how they're not islamaphobic, but it just so happens to be that reality perfectly reflects their prejudiced beliefs.
Kinda like the people who aren't mysoginists or anything, but have found that, coincidentally, the ideal and natural gender roles and power dynamics between the sexes perfectly mirrors the media representation of the 1950s.

As much as I think we should look to Europe for running a society, race and religious tolerance are not one of those subjects in which I defer to them.

Do you actually think it's unexpected that people who are never fully allowed to integrate into society for some reason don't fully integrate into society? That laws that make it specifically difficult for them to coexist might result in them ... Not coexisting as well?

If it's the content of their texts that's causing you a concern, have I got news for you about every fucking religion.

Islam is not compatible with western society/values.

Western values are a consequence of the Enlightenment, which resulted from Islamic teachings and practices.

Everything from the abolitionist movement to socialist critiques of capital accumulation to modern ecological sciences to all of advanced mathematics came out of the Middle East in the 15th century.

You're not entirely wrong. There are plenty of Western anarchonisms that rub modern Muslims the wrong way. But you might find that the "Western Values" you're left with after you peel off all the Islamic bits is just Dutch Merchantalist White Nationalism.

That's assuming you don't all end up Mormon, having reinvented Islam from first principles.

If you have problems with religions as a whole, I think that's fine. But why is Islam specifically not compatible with western society but Christianity is? Islam isn't monolithic in the same way Christianity isn't monolithic. I'm sure you could cherry pick things from the Quran that are dangerous and scary. I could do the same thing with the Bible. Not all Christians follow the Bible strictly as written. The same is true of Muslims and the Quran. Do you think Christian values are aligned with what leftists fight for? Do you believe we should remove Christians from the country for having differing values from leftist goals? And as long as there is a separation of church and state, then it doesn't really matter what religious beliefs someone holds.

This is certainly a take, so Imma ask you to further clarify your positions:

What concerns raised about the law's "incompatibility with Judeo-Christian values" are worth listening to?

Also, the last sentence is an especially stinky take: people are allowed to impose discipline on themselves without demanding others follow the same (like gyms and diets).
