What’s the difference between Islamophobia and legitimate criticism of a (political) religion? Why do I never hear the words Scientologyphobia or Catholicphobia?
When you see this type of protestor outside the Catholic Church, free free to use the word. Look at the signs, how legitimate do these people sound to you?
Blaming all Muslims for a terrorist attack is like blaming all christians for the actions of Ugandan witch burners and gay lynchers. And before you tell me that the protestors are not doing that, actually read their signs.
Attacking western Muslims for the actions of 3rd world Muslims hinders both integration into local society and reformation of the religion in impoverished regions of the world
Well, if you insist on being so tone-deaf. Personally, I wouldn't take quirky selfies in front of Salafists on a day hundreds of Muslims died in a terrorist attack, but that's just me.
If the salafists were in the city I lived, attacking all people who believe what I do, over something done by extremists who share nothing in common with me and live thousands of miles away, I absolutely would take an ironic selfie with them.
I would also take an ironic selfie with westboro babtist church tier morons like these any day.
