nuns are usually pretty hardline christians in my experience. and christians and muslims do not get along at all from a religious stand point. one might object to someone harassing a muslim, but they'd never call one doing their prayers their 'brother'

Outside of American WASPery there's an awful lot of cooperation between Christians and Muslims. Just off the top of my head, Muslims are explicitly invited to pray in Church of England churches if they wish (mirroring the long-standing Muslim tradition of allowing "Brothers of the Book" - Christians and Jews - to pray in mosques). The Salvation Army - the absolute epitome of Victorian "Muscular Christianity" - works very closely with East London Mosque, in the heart of the area where the SA were formed of course, in their homelessness and addiction outreach programmes. Vatican 2 specifically says that Muslim prayer is commendable and that Muslims can achieve salvation.

That's leaving aside the massive amount of cross-pollination that happened in the lead-up to the Renaissance (which would have been impossible without Islamic scholarship) and continued particularly in Spain and north Africa throughout the period. Any time you think of Hell as having circles of interesting tortures with Satan in the middle of it, that's a Muslim concept.

The idea that Islam is inherently hostile to Christianity and vice versa is a political convenience of modern times, recapitulating arguments started by European power plays of the Middle Ages overlaid on the need for new enemies after the end of the Cold War. They've coexisted and even cooperated for far longer than they've been at war.

Eh, the biggest kick off was Byzantine scholars fleeing the Muslim conquest of Greece, bringing long-lost (to the West) classical texts with them. Islamic scholarship was in a downward swing after the Mongols loving annihilated Baghdad, one of the world's greatest centers of learning, in 1258, and they never had the Ancient Greek texts that Byzantium preserved.

Not to dispute your overall message, though. In fact, one of the crusading knightly orders is still around, the Knights Hospitallier - and they're currently working to help the refugees in the Mediterranean and Syria.

Pasting some text from Facebook:

There's this 24-hour sandwich kiosk near my job run by a Muslim guy and during prayers, the Central American dude working at the pretzel cart next to him will step in and take over for a bit to help him out. When the pretzel guy can't, regular customers respectfully wait in line until they can be attended.

This morning some tourists wearing fanny packs and crucifixes were bitching about having to wait three minutes (he was almost done) and a freaking nun in the queue turned around and said "my brother is praying, show some respect" and before the mouthiest of the tourists could respond, this ENORMOUS Armenian construction worker who is the absolute nicest man and says good morning to everyone every single day turns around and says "Are you gonna fuckin' argue with a fuckin' nun? gently caress outta here! Yo, Sister, 'scuse my language, but Christ. Oh poo poo, I didn't mean that. I'll stop tawkin' now."

AND the Sister gave him a very sly fist bump and now I have coffee in my nasal passages.

I. Seriously. Love. This. City. Sometimes.

I actually came to this thread to post this! A super hard left-wing friend of mine posts stuff like this all the time. He's very intelligent, though he posts STDH and this was the one where I decided to poke him because I have to know why. I wrote: "Serious question. I know the world is a lovely place right now, but is it so bad that you have to resort to sharing STDH stories for some feel goods?"

Someone just replied five minutes ago: "I’m guessing the acronym stands for stuff that didn’t happen. Once again, a story with a moral flies over someone’s head."

What the hell is the moral?

The moral is "makes u think", the default fallback for people who share complete bullshit

The moral is that people don't care if something is true or not, they only care that it reinforces their beliefs.

Yeah totally. The default answer most of the time when you point out that something didn’t happen is for the storyteller to respond with “well it could have happened”.

Ugh, Virgie Tovar sucks so much. I saw a video where she claimed that asking for a smaller slice of cake, like at a birthday party, was an anti-fat microagression, and somehow also sexist, because (she says) it will always be a woman who is cutting that cake, and you're stealing her labor.

Obviously the best option is to just faceplant the cake and start chomping. That way you won't offend anyone by asking for a small slice, or exploit the host's cake-cutting labor.

For a joke to be funny, it should probably have at least some plausibility.

No, it was an undercover cop who was very bad at being undercover since a random guy could tell they were a cop.

It definitely lends authenticity to the story when she starts shilling her "business" after it gets a lot of likes (first thing in the comment thread). Also that the thing the girl said is apparently a reference to some band she just happens to be a fan of. Nothing suspicious there. Not surprisingly I didn't see a single person calling it fake. Twitter really wants to believe in the woke superfans of the things they like toddlers exist.
