      American Muslims, in line with general public attitudes in the United States, have become much more accepting of homosexuality over recent years…In a July 2017 poll, Muslims who say homosexuality should be accepted by society clearly outnumber those who say it should be discouraged (52% versus 33%), a level of acceptance similar to American Protestants (52% in 2016).

      So weird that you distinguish between Christians and Christian fundamentalists but assume all Muslims are fundamentalists. It’s almost like you have some sort of bias or prejudice against Muslims. It’s like you’re a person who has bigoted views. Wonder if there’s a name for that?

        Nope you’re right. The Muslim world just wants to get along with everyone else. Their prophet Mohammed Was a person of peace. He wasn’t warlord who married 6 yo girls . The all Muslim countries are safe for queer folk and women have the same rights as men. I’m so sorry everyone I’ve been wrong I am just an ignorant person and I’m very sorry. The Islamic world 1.8 billion strong doesn’t have any extremists in its fold and has never ever done anything violent ever. I can only pray to Allah that my comments, which are completely genuine and true, don’t get taken down again by the moderators

          Christian extremists in this country have rolled back a women’s right to an abortion and are now working on eliminating no-fault divorce, but hey, you do you, bigot.

            I agree. Christian evangelicals are extremists who want to control everything. They are shitty people. I have no problem saying that Your own personal stance against me is simply virtue signaling, but you do you. Your unwillingness to acknowledge that the Muslim world doesn’t care about you or anyone that disagrees with their doctrines is ignorant and cowardly. Religion is there to control all of us and that includes the Islamic world

              Really hard to take your pivot to, “All religion is bad, actually,” seriously when you explicitly brought up Muslims and continue to discuss Muslims as a monolith while breaking down Christians into subcategories like, “Evangelical,” or,.“right-wing.” Why not just say, “the Christian world doesn’t care about you or anyone that disagrees with their doctrines?” Why continue to carefully parse your language to specify which Christian groups you consider bad, while making no distinctions between Muslims? Why is it that, of the three things in your post that I pointed out were incorrect and ill-informed, this is the only thing you want to argue about? (You don’t actually have to answer. It’s very obvious it’s because you’re a bigot.)
