You have my sympathy, but this does not meaningfully change anything.

Your comment was still bigoted af.

Regardless of color, I was saying that the west should be careful about Muslims. And I still say that. I don't have any ulterior motives. Interpret it however you want.

There is no point in calling me a bigot without giving any reason.

That’s not what you said.

And even that is a pretty fucking backward thing to type.

calling me a bigot without giving any reason.

You give me new reasons every comment.

If you don’t see this, you ought to re-evaluate.

Is it enough for me to say "you are right" to end this discussion? Because it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Because I don't agree with most of your opinions and you don't seem to be able to change mine.

At a guess, you seem to be talking to a member of a generation that never got contradicted during its childhood, that believes it has all the answers, that sees dissenters to its groupthink as social deviants who need be silenced. The Western enlightenment is yesterday's news, we've moved on in the West! Well done for keeping your cool and staying polite.

Stop defending terrorists dude

[–] Sagan@eslemmy.es 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He's not defending terrorists, he's defending Muslims

Against a former Muslim, who fled a Muslim led country because of their Muslim laws. Telling them they’re a bigot for hating Islam is fucking condescending, white savior syndrome.

France is not a Muslim country.

Why categorize all French Muslims as killers when it's obviously a tiny majority? There are between 3 and 5 millions of Muslims in France

I would never have been able to compose this sentence because I don't speak English well. I agree with every word, every letter.

They blame us while we tell them what we have suffered.

Islam can be used by an autocratic state to impose its regime, but current Russia or North Korea don't need it to impose on their populations.

Categorizing several millions of people as killers because a few deranged people get radicalised seems shortsighted.
