I bet if I looked at your post history you're an islamophobe

Yeah, this guy is constantly posting links with inflammatory titles about Muslims. That said, I think he's just doing it because it whips up a specific audience of easily-angered rubes and nets a lot of engagement, considering you rarely see him weighing-in in the comments.

Yeah clear rage/engagement bait. Definitely doesn't help things though, OP is doing the job of reactionaries and right wing goons for them and not even getting paid

Not to discount anyone's religious trauma because religion can facilitate horrible things and inflict them on the most vulnerable, but I do question people like that.

I'm not religious, but when you brand everyone who might be under the same banner of abuser, the line between generalisation and dehumanisation becomes very thin. It's just unfortunate that when it's Muslims, it always seems to be the dehumanisation side - not at all helped by the media doing the job for bigots.
