Ah, another point for the religion of peace.
Is there actually someone still moderating feddit.de? Comments like this make me think I’m in the Fox News comment section.
Seriously? You’d want me moderated for that comment?
Can you really only exist within echo chambers online?
If it calms you down a bit, I view Christianity pretty much the same.
One of the biggest failures of the left is its reactionary defence of Islam (as a religion).
Any honest criticism of Islam is branded Islamophobia (similarly to how any criticism of Israel is conflated with antisemitism).
Regardless of whether one wants to blame the Quran, or the cultures of Muslim communities - the fact remains that people get killed in non-Muslim majority countries for trivial shit.
I could draw a picture of Jesus sucking off Joseph Smith and I don’t need to worry about Mormons coming to kill me.
The likelihood of some mentally disturbed person killing you for something like that is about equally high for Muslims or Mormons: i.e extremely low.
But if it is a Muslim, you can be sure the right-wing media is full of it.
You cannot say they are equally high when:
12 people were killed for publishing a cartoon of Muhammad.
A teacher was beheaded for showing a drawing of Muhammad.
Cartoonist drew Muhammad, leading to Danish embassies being attacked and riots broke out and people died. Later, people broke into his house to try to kill him.
Cartoonist had to live under police protection because of threats.
Creators of South Park were threatened for including Muhammad in an episode of the show.
These were just a few from the FIRST PAGE of a search engine, AND outside of Muslim majority countries.
If you still think there’s an equal chance of violence against you, then I dare you to draw Muhammad and publish it with your real name.
This is before even considering every other ‘provocation’, leading to incidences like:
Salman Rushdie being stabbed on stage
A teacher forced into hiding for showing a picture of mahammad
Right so you’re answering the argument that killings by muslim are overrepresented in media by quoting search engine results? If you actually want factual numbers you’d need to take a look at the criminal data from you country.
Do you think there’s an argument to be made that Boeing’s aeroplane failures are overrepresented in media?
What a stupid thing to say.
I don’t need to crunch any numbers; the links are right there, the murderers EXPLICITLY state they did it because the person insulted their religion.
I challenge you to find me more than one example of a murder which was deliberately invoked because someone insulted a holy person from another religion over the last ten years.
You are literally ignoring what I am saying. I’ve answered to the thread where you were answering the argument of mentally insane people kill as much as islamists, but the latter are more represented by the media by searching for headlines on a search engine. Nothing else, I’ve not actually challenged the argument of islamists completely overreacting at people insulting their believes.
Though just to clarify, while sceptism toward religion is always warranted, insulting someone’s believes is arguably a no-go as well.
But you’re obviously on a slippery slope towards the right. There have been plenty of violent attacks on politicians in the past few months in Germany alone. And they didn’t even have to say anything against the attackers ideology
feddit.de has had massive database problems for like 2 months now. It’s not accessible via the default web interface, only via third party (web)apps. It’s very likely that moderation of feddit.de communities has been increasingly difficult for the mods.
