Care to elaborate? You’re just kind of asking a loaded question, but you don’t make any actual argument.

I don’t understand the point of your comment.

I get your point and while we don’t know anything yet about the murder it’s likely linked to the guy‘s actions.

Let’s just go ahead and assume the people arrested killed him for real and they killed him for what he did. Then I think there really are no heroes in that story.

The guy was inciting hatred for which there was even a trial and it was a pointless act in the sense that I don’t see what good could potentially come from it.

Did he deserve to die for that? I’m against the capital punishment, so I think no one deserves to die for anything and I agree that the killers are fascists.

I’m just saying that burning books and executing people isn’t the kind of world I want to live in in general.

I‘m Muslim and I have a huge mostly Muslim family and a large friend circle and I consume mostly Arabic media. We honestly don’t know who you are, we don’t care about you and we have better things to do than trying to enforce any laws on you.

Fun fact I have some atheists in my family and we did not behead or stone them. This might surprise you, but we have better things to do.

I like that you are inclusive of all Abrahamic religions, but could we just agree to not burn any books at all? It’s just a stupid act of violence and I don’t know what good it has ever achieved throughout history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_burning

Yeah I have read both the Quran and some exempts from Mein Kampf. Cannot recommend the latter.

My favorite part from Mein Kampf was the one about the fox, the goose and the tiger who are all assumed to be hostile towards each other. Because of this „Arians“ shouldn’t mingle with Jews. If you’re troubled with following the soundness of the argument that’s because there is none.

Let’s ignore for a second that it’s just outright offensive to compare the books of any world religion to Mein Kampf. Even if you don’t believe in the whole God thing, then the Quran would still be a brilliant collection of verses spoken by some illiterate orphan without any education somewhere in the Arabian desert. And I can tell you that because I‘m a native speaker and even the hardcore atheist Arabs agree with me on that.

I think no one should be assassinated and capital punishment shouldn’t exist. And believe me when I tell you that I want freedom of speech. But there’s freedom of speech and hate speech. I don’t want freedom of hate speech and I don’t care who it is targeting.

I still don’t think anyone deserves capital punishment for anything, but to use this to generalize against all Muslims and our religious books is rightfully being called out as what it is, Islamophobia. Say the exact same things you said just about burning the Torah and we wouldn’t even have to argue about that being antisemitic.

Just a stupid joke and I mixed up Ben Affleck with Ethan Hawke
