I'm not. They all suck in unique and different ways and are dragging society down. Anyone who is a "fundamentalist" i.e. someone who actually believes in this poo poo rather than pretending they do while using a modern, edited version of their religion is a freaking plague. Christians want to steam roll science and race to the apocalypse (Who cares about the environment? God's going to fight a big war in Israel any day now, don't you know! - The old people) and Islam extremists are.. well, what you get here.

They're all hosed up, they all attack logic and reason, they all attack freedom and they all seek to set people back to the stone age. Half our hosed up morality system comes from them.

gently caress them. Any country that wants to purge religion gets a thumbs up from me at this point.

At the same time, I cannot help but have contempt for Christians who rewrite the bible to be more tolerant of a religion than it actually is. As a Muslim friend on the internet put it, is it the perpetually inerrant word of god or is it not? And if it is not, then why even have the religion in the first place?

That thing about the imam is quite something. I (unironically) wonder how that imam feels now, knowing that the hate he was receiving from this dude was, in retrospect, a massive warning sign.

I also don't understand how society could criminalize hate speech, while also seeing nothing wrong with (a future murderer) signing a letter directed against imams who preach against ISIS.

This sounds unironically like an interesting good read.

Profiling is dumb because they will just recruit somebody who doesn't fit the profile. Random searches are also dumb because it doesn't actually deter poo poo.

Pragmatically speaking, either you deal with the issue upstream and actually harm ISIS recruitment, you subject everyone to onerous security requirements, or you just let this poo poo happen tbh.

I just hate D&Ders because they are literally the reason this argument lost.

Secular Humanist posted:

Actual terrorist attacks are kind of just part of the problem though. I mean, people get exploded at ariana grande concerts for the same reason women in the middle east have to wear black trash bags everywhere. There are fundamental problems with mainstream islamic ideology that need to be intellectually terminated. Westerners can help by at least trying to support actual reforming muslims, who admittedly are not very visible due to the whole "constant threat of being decapitated" thing, instead of opportunistic theocrats like linda sarsour who exploit our good nature and dupe useful idiots into embracing the hijab out of "solidarity with women" (loving lol). Liberals have completely failed on this topic, which is now a feebly unhot take but is truer than ever.

Yeah but this line of thought rapidly becomes a "white man's burden" situation that neither I nor they want any part of. If they want to be insular sectarians, let them. Just let the police and immigration officials pursue the issue honestly and fairly, and stay the hell out of the middle east, imho.

But for god sakes don't say "victim-blaming and slut-shaming women into burqas is actually cool and good" because it pisses off bigots???

the left is detached from reality but the main reason i don't think (conservative sunni) islamic/islamist ideology should be terminated is because it's war i think you'll probably lose. better to encourage non-violent forms of islamism. but that's not that different or more conservative than mormons in utah, and mormonism is similar to islam in a lot of ways.

islamism is responding to failure of secular systems to accommodate islamist political participation. keep in mind that secular arab regimes have dished out extreme amounts of violence against non-violent islamist movements like the muslim brotherhood -- to the point of massacring them in egypt after the military coup.

Actually, I think "Islam: At least we aren't the Mormons" could be a very effective branding strategy.
