The standard is good behavior, not other people.
Good behavior is about having empathy, not mocking how people view the entire universe. I don't like how the middle east isn't as progressive as the west, and I don't like how they don't have as much empathy for gay people as the west does now. But mocking an entire religious community - a community that extends far beyond the middle east - for not being peaceful, doesn't make sense when the west succeeded in bringing imperialism to the entire world. Especially when the west hated gay people for most of that time.
It's easier to discuss these issues when you don't have to worry about your school being bombed the next day. It's easier to have empathy for the western values of diversity, while not having to worry about the west bombing you because of religion
Can you show me where I mocked them? Or are you too busy trying your whataboutism out there?
The thing about acting on bigotry is it takes effort. If you secretly are homophobic no one will know or care.
You're sarcastically calling it a religion of peace, that's mockery
Hmm. Is there a particular reason why you would associate Islam with warfare? I am asking you because you assumed I was being sarcastic without clarifying first.
Oh feel free to get in another whataboutism rant. You must be feeling the itch by now.
Lol you're dumb, you don't have an argument you're just shit talking. But keep talking about what abouttism as if you know anything about logical fallacies
Attack the words and not the person. You know the opposite of what Islam typically does.
