    You’re not wrong that this post is fake, but it’s important to remember that there’s nothing phobic about criticizing someone’s voluntarily-chosen ideology, especially when that ideology promotes violence, hatred, misogyny, homophobia, racism, sexism, etc. That’s not phobia or bigotry or hatred, it’s just normal criticism

      Criticizing an ideology or a religion, Islam like the others, is always okay. But considering every Muslim as a violent, hating, misogynistic, homophobic, racist and sexist person is bigotry.

        People make the voluntary choice to adopt ideologies that promote racism, sexism, etc.

        If they don’t agree with the ideology’s hateful and violent tenets, they don’t have to adopt the ideology, but it’s disingenuous to suggest that people who do voluntarily choose adopt those ideologies don’t actually believe in them. Nobody chooses to adopt an ideology they disagree with.

              Because if you did, you’d learn that Muslims are normal people. Some are assholes, some are not. Some are straight and homophobic, others are proudly queer. You could argue that Islam is bad because it encourages homophobia, that’s an acceptable opinion. But saying that all Muslims are homophobic is bigoted and just plain wrong. The difference between legitimate criticism and hate is not hard to understand… unless one wants to blur the line, probably to hide one’s hatred.
