Ooof this whole thread... But I think you have a point. It's ironic that the user who's freaking out about this (and honestly needs to log off) used a Ben Shapiro emote because his argument is almost indistinguishable, frankly, from all the Islamophobic nonsense I see with respect to this issue. Maybe he should read up on some Marxists from Islamic countries or something. Ironically he complains about people abusing the world "materialism" but when it comes to this issue his idealism is clearly shining through. It's sad because this kind of discourse alienates POC, especially Muslim POC for whom this issue is used as an Islamophobic weapon. Once again hexbear never fails to amaze me in how insensitive it can be to other cultures, especially Islamic ones. I honestly worry if someone like him came into power. I know it's a meme, but he'd he "authoritarian" in a bad way...

Had to create an account just to say hard agree. It also kinda bugs me how so many of these westoids will unironically use the halal and haram emotes or say things like inshallah or mashallah. Like how many of these people have actually read the Quran, or even stepped foot inside a mosque? Do they know about the various schools of Sunni law and theology, not to mention with Shia or other areas of thought. Do they know anything about history?
I doubt it. It's like they're cosplaying as white saviors in the defense of Islam and Muslims, except for when it comes to things that personally bug them, in which case they immediate revert to 2000s fedora-wearing Sam Harris loving reddit atheists.
EDIT: Holy shit I just realized what that dude did. When his own source basically disproved what he was saying he replied with this:
I used a deliberately “generous” source that still admits that the event happened. I could have used a much more incendiary one, but I didn’t.
I don't know how to read that except as "I could have used a super Islamophobic and hateful source but I didn't." Dude this is like when a white person says to a black person "hey I could have called you an n-word but I didn't."

Oh jeez I didn't even realize that. Yeah that's pretty bad, IMO.
