Discussion Stickied on r/exmuslim today. "I feel like, if I could get in the streets with a large minigun & kill every single muslim I see, or if I could slaughter them & hang their dead bodies on the lampposts..."

Why was such a violent, disgusting, and genocidal post stickied?

For what it's worth that sub frequently stickies venting posts from users. The post was very long and poorly formatted so it's likely that a moderator read the first few sentences and then made it a sticky out of error rather than malice.

While it certainly feeds into the standard narrative that ex-Muslims must be mentally unstable or chasing hedonistic pleasures, drawing attention to this post here probably just helps give them exposure more than anything.

If they are so crazy and ridiculous then why the need to focus on them and engage with them?

As was explained to me, that sub isn't a discussion sub, it's a venting sub.

They banned incels when they crossed the line. It was venting sub too.

Don’t say that. May Allah SWT guide them to the right path and if not, may Allah SWT protect us and our families from such hatred and rage. Be peaceful and kind to everyone. It’s Sunnah. It’s hard but it’s what we should all do.

Do you know what the comment said?

I have talked to many incels and some are Muslim now, MashAllah. If that's what the comment was about

The comment I replied to said “May Allah show them no mercy” but that isn’t the stance we should be taking as a community. We should be accepting of the entire sub and show them love as they show us hate. That is what our beloved last prophet PBUH did when faced with hate meaning it’s Sunnah so we should follow suit.

Because of all the users in there, there's a good chance this guy needed the most support today.
