Just to beat my head against a wall one more time, yes, bigotry against Islam is racism.

110. Victim? What about victims of religious ideology? Women losing rights, LGBT fighting for them?

In same cases, women and LGBT being killed in the name of religion?

You seem to be really fucking hung up on defending ideology which has a deep rooted history of oppressing and killing people.

As a woman, a strong supporter of women, LGBT and a secular society, Republicans are my adversaries. Organized religion is as well. Christianity and Islam generally are examples of misogyny, hate and violence. And both attempt to inject these horrible beliefs into society, governments and law. And I, for one, won't hold back on criticizing Islam just because the RW does.

They criticize because it's not Christian. I criticize because its existence in its current form is in direct conflict with my core values. We think it's hypocritical when the Christian RW wants to exclude Islam while pushing their agendas (and it is!), but I ALSO think it's hypocritical to defend Islam or pretend their harmful beliefs do not exist and I won't. I am well known on DU for my criticism of Popes, the RCC and any other religious person or belief that is discriminatory or otherwise harmful to a secular society. I don't like any of it.

I cannot and will not respect it. Any of it. Not out of obligation, not out of fear and not because you think it's fukcing 'racist'.

Jesus fucking Christ, you're clueless.

I am done with you. Good day.
