    Extremists never care about adhering to their own rules. Those are just a tool to oppress and control their victims.

      That’s true. But the “as long as you only do it to infidels” is an excuse that has been used by Muslims for centuries and not just the extremist kind.

        Sure bud, it’s literally explicitly haram to make, ship, handle, and sell intoxicants. Doesn’t matter who the end user is. Don’t think for a second that this is something that “Muslims” excuse.

            Anytime, I’ve noticed that the level of misinformation on Muslims is way higher on Lemmy that it was on Reddit 😞

              Reddit taught me that correcting people on misinformation on Islam is a waste of time. I remember an argument I had with some dickhead where he called me “bonkers” for being Muslim, citing only the most inhumane behaviors and mindests that could loosely be attributed to the faith

                In the same sentence they’ll go from acknowledging that muslim != extremist, right back to generalizing about the whole belief system.

                I just wish they’d fucking internalize some of the lessons they’re given and allow it to temper their bigotry.
