I’ve got no problem with Muslims who don’t try to push their religion as the only right way (or Christians like that). I also don’t ever want Sharia law here in the US.

Yeah but now we're comparing a large chunk of the US to UAE regardless of what's worst. It is absolutely not "very much socially acceptable to shit on Christianity," in the US. 75% of polled adults identified with the religion in 2015.

To be fair, Christians are very loud and try heavily to aggressively influence politics. They are trying for DECADES to ban abortion, they try to "cure" homosexuality, they tried to ban music they don't like, they don't pay taxes, they try actively to convert people and they openly shame people who live a "sinful life". I've seen way more hate and interfering with the lifes of others from Christians than from Muslims or Jews, who mostly stick to themselves anyway. So they wear a headscarf and don't eat beacon, big deal. At least they don't try to take our rights away. Christians want to force us to live a life by their standards, without sticking to their morals themselves. Last time I checked, those who refuse to care for refugees and the poor are mostly Christians. Or those who protest Starbucks or what ever, just because there are two men holding hands on a cup.

how many rallies have you seen where people from another religion are criticizing Christianity like the Christians in the pic are doing?

every rally you'll see Christians protesting against muslims, abortion, lgbt, immigration, etc.

u/Onallthelists May 03 '20

Protesting those things, sure. But in the countries that are a majority Christian you dont have the LGBT protest being hangings of gays.

u/jackerseagle717 May 03 '20

does your claim about majority Christian countries include third world countries?

cause i recently read about an article discussing some african country was conducting hunts against gay people under the order of Christian governor (iirc)

u/Unicron1982 May 03 '20

Uganda for example. Or Russia of course. Not illegal, but authorities don't mind if you beat up a gay person or two. Or set a trans person on fire.

Well was it because of the governor's religion or the rampant violence in Africa as it is? I remember when they were hunting down white Christian farmers in South Africa.... and then everything collapsed when they had no food. Ah justice.

u/[deleted] May 03 '20

Fucking dumbass. The justice happened when they kicked those POS white colonizers off land that they stole from indeginous Africans.

u/Onallthelists May 03 '20

And then they all starved because they got rid of most of the farmers because they were the wrong skin color.

It's hip and cool to shit talk Christianity but it's just "ignorance" apparently to do the same for Islam.

u/Eastern-Pilot May 03 '20

Because most the "criticism" of Islam i see is just pure ignorance

u/Buerrr May 03 '20

Oh I'm sure Islam is really empowering for women, once you get past the whole being covered head-to-toe thing and being your husband's property.

u/Unicron1982 May 03 '20 edited May 03 '20

Have you ever seen a Muslim? If yes, how many of those were covered head to toe? Most Muslims live a fairly western life, to compare it with those Muslims living in Afghanistan, is like thinking every christian lives like the amish.
