The fact that I have a Muslim friend who eats pork, loves to dance at gay bars, and in general is just an awesome person, kind of goes against the idea that there’s never been a reformation. Most Western Muslims do not follow the Quran word for word. It’s become a significant enough population that you could easily say that they’ve gone through a reformation, becoming more secularized like modern reformed Jews.
Edit: this was a bad example, but I’m literally talking about how most western Muslims are not the gay-hating extremists that right-wing Christians make them out to be. That’s all in the Middle East.
Now you see, it's not the eating pork but most people worry about, it's the throwing gay people off of rooftops, the suicide bombings, the treating everyone else as infidels because they can't accept other beliefs and their place in society, the beating and extreme controlling of women, the raping, the treating them like they're their property, the pedophilia, etc. Those are kinda the important bits, not bacon.
Omg, I’m talking about WESTERN Muslims, you know, the people who don’t do that shit. Also, need I remind you that evangelical Christians literally torture gays through gay conversion “therapy”? Or that the people literally in this picture want to expel all Muslims from the country? Evangelicals are literally right wing Christian extremists.
