Muslims are by definition supporters of Islam. By defending their beliefs, you are defending Islam.

They're not defending their beliefs, they're defending their right to exist. It's the same thing they do for Christians and Jews and Buddhists etc etc etc.

See? I told you you wouldn't get it.

It’s interesting that they don’t extend the logic to, say, Nazis. I am Personally consistent on this: both Muslims and Nazis should have the right to exist, but not to force their views on others.

I've never met a Muslim that wanted to kill three quarters of society, but that's the only kind of Nazi you could ever possibly meet. It's kind of their only thing. Tolerance of intolerance only leads to more intolerance. It's why people who are lactose-intolerant should avoid lactose. Society is, by nature, Nazi-intolerant, Nazis make society shit itself.

Tolerance of intolerance only leads to more intolerance.

Then why do you tolerate the ideology that wants to kill atheists and homosexuals?

Christians? They're pretty baked in to the American system, good luck excising that tumor.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Good thing I don’t live in the USA. Most people here are neither Christians nor Muslims.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

Eexactly as I said: you apply different standards to Nazis than to Muslims, even though both are a hateful ideology based on killing undesired people.

Go look at my comment history.

I'm not a Muslim apologist. I am not a fan of religion in general and Islam in particular. I've been downvoted to hell for being against Hamas and Hazbollah. So, nah, I'm pretty consistent.

Sorry, I assumed that from the context. In that case, your standards are consistent, which is fine by me.
