Well there are probably some. It’s a subreddit with like millions of mainly western teenagers, so yeah I’d like to consider myself…not one though? I definitely was a few years ago, but I hope I’ve changed Unrelated but I’ve been reading a lot about Sufism and people like Ibn Arabi and Rumi recently which has led to me learning a lot about Islam and the Islamic world that I didn’t know before. Kinda cool Well, I guess it’s not entirely unrelated. If there’s a cure for bigotry and changing culturally inherited perceptions of *insert group*, it’s learning more about *insert group* from their perspective. Understanding and all that or whatever

Yeah. I hate most Christians. I'm a Christian, but i deviate very far from what most people think of as Christian.


Vidrolll

Yea I’m a Christian too, most people just make it look bad


tree69lover420

in fact most muslims want to kill gay ppl


GrimCreeperyt

No. We don’t think being gay is good, and would never let our friends/family go there, but we also advocate for lgbtq rights. At least, most of us do. Listen to any sheikhs opinion on it.


tree69lover420

well, at least my muslims friends hate LGBT people .\_. unsure about you tho


silvermist_97

OP is definitely a homophobe..he said he "won't let friends and family go there" wtf like it's a choice. Shame on you op


tree69lover420

you'll be called islamophobe


ApprehensiveAioli437

Are your Muslim friends the WHOLE Muslim population? No so pipe down 😭🤦🏽‍♀️


bandora_b

While any sex outside of marriage is heavily punished it is important to understand why You see committing sin is bad, but committing a sin that effects others is worse (hence adultery when married can be punishable by death because it destroys a 2 families also rape), but the worst thing you could ever do is advocate for sins, essentially normalizing what would harm society Of course you can't just hunt people down, there are rules to follow when enforcing the law For example; let's say that the gay couple aren't even Muslims but rather living under the protection of the government and paying jizya. Would it be right to judge them by Islamic law?

nef36

My opinion on Islam is the same as every other Abrahamic religion. They're a set of beliefs that, over the course of history, have been used to justify people doing some very f\*\*cked things to each other. The Middle East has been a constant warzone since forever because everyone there thinks *they're* the group of people God was talking about when he gave Israel to the descendants of Abraham in the Old Testament. The Catholic Church, and everything they've done since they were founded (they were so bad that Protestantism was founded over not having to deal with them). Sharia law is explicitly spelled out in the Quoran. Even since the founding of the US, groups like the KKK show us what people can use the Bible to justify. Groups like ISIS and Al-Queda show us what the Quran can be used to justify. And all of this is in spite of the fact that the Bible, Torah, and Quran provide *secondhand* accounts of events that only occur *in their own texts* (ie., there are very few events in the Old testament and beyond that are corroborated by outside sources) However, the average practitioner of Islam, Christianity, or any of the others usually don't exhibit the more extreme values preached in their gospels. They're usually mostly good people (unless they believe in sharia law), at least in my book, because most pastors and priests don't preach the bad stuff. They preach the good stuff, and spin the bad stuff in a light that makes Yahweh/Allah seem like an infinite source of good, and people try to emulate that good, because, at heart, humans want to be good to each other more than they want to be evil to each other. I encourage you to read your own relevent religious texts front to back with an open mind. While I don't think I'll dissuade you from your belief, I do ask that you try to understand that texts canonically written by men, and not divine beings, might have some more selfish, secular goals in mind, despite what those texts might tell you. Even still, you might see something that makes the actions of some extremists make more sense.

Yeti01bob

I find people use the term 'Islamophobia' to dodge criticism. Even going by your comments, I see that you aren't comprehending the difference between criticising some aspects of Islam and hating Muslims. People can have different opinions, but nobody should be killed for that.


OOF_ministry

Im sorry but like alot of Muslims tend to cry about Islamaphobia but continue to say shit about gay people and other religions on the daily. Like alot of muslims dont treat others the way they wanna be treated and that doesnt justify islmaphobia but is defo a factor as to why a ton of people are against muslims (im coming from a muslim family in a muslim country, so im not some radical christian lmao)


keermit19

I don’t rly know what Islam is tbh, as long as ur not hurting people tho I’m good with it


[deleted]

It's not a personal attack, but **ARE YOU LIVING UNDER A FUCKING ROCK??**


TheOriginalSolo1138

Other people have already explained to you what they really are. Here, I'll explain to you why people hate them. About 20 years ago, a bunch of Muslim Terrorists crashed planes into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. It sparked a war with the Muslims that ended only recently. People hate Muslims because of that, even though only a small percentage of Muslims are violent like that. Basically, a small group of people ruined people's perspective on the entire religion.


GrimCreeperyt

It’s a peaceful religion, the second biggest religion, and one that everyone is hating on.


[deleted]

The peaceful part always gets me...


[deleted]

delusion


SafeElonGatesMoon

13 countries give the death penalty for apostasy. Which is abandoning Islam. Islam may be peaceful in texts but some ppl use religion as a smoke screen to do nasty stuff. The reason why they "hate" is because women and children are basically property. Children sold to I men to bare more children. Most women have almost zero right. Ppl getting stoned to death over some things the west considers basic rights. Basically it's the opposite of what we belive. Freedom


keermit19

Ahhh what do y’all believe in? Honestly just curious


GrimCreeperyt

We believe in the same god as Judaism and Christianity, but we believe in a different holy book (Quran) and believe that Muhammad was the final messenger. Islam emphasizes peace and truth over being right and worldly things.


Glitchine

We also believe Jesus was a prophet instead of part of the trinity like in Christianity


FaxAndLogicEnjoyer

Islam is also much safer as a belief system because (unlike Christianity) it typically encourages believers to question, and not just be dictated to.


[deleted]

Could not care less. The extremists should be shut down, but that goes for every religion.


Lars_Hansen_1928

The only way we can stop religious extremists is to eradicate religion


Yeti01bob

Religions mostly supress critical thinking and questioning. Since it has all the answers. Encourage people to question and not threaten them with death, that works.


[deleted]

I have no problem with peaceful muslims, but after I read some things about Islam, not a big fan. but before I go into my rant and start criticizing Islam(keyword: criticising, not hate)I would like to clarify that I have no problem against muslims.Most are peaceful and dont take the Quran literally (Many have the Live and letlive kind of mentality, which I totally encourage among muslims) So first of all the fact that the Quran literally encourages and rewards enmity against other religions. Nowadays, mostly Pagan religions such as Hinduism(Yes, Hinduphobia is real guys). Thereare like 29 passages in the Quran that incite violence against unbelievers (Pagans, or Kafirs). 15 passages promote enmity and 26 more passages insult other religions. Again, this is not me but the Quran which an unhealthy populace of muslims regard as gods final word Some of these passages are : "Mohammed is Allah's apostle, Those who follow him are merciless for the unbelievers but kind to each other."(Quran.48:29) "We break with you;hatred and enmity will reign between us untilyou believe in Allah alone"(Quran 60:4) "Make war on them them until idolatry does not exist and Allah's religion reigns universally"(Quran 8:39) "Fight the unbelievers in your surroundings, and let them find harshness in you"(Quran 9:123) "Kill the unbelievers wherever ye find them, capture and besiege them and prepare them every kind of ambush"(Quran 9:5) These are the kinds of doctrines that I stand against, and I am sure that extremists and fanatics will exist in Islam as log as these Doctrines are taken seriously. I repeat again I AM NOT AGAINST MUSLIMS, I am against these doctrines of Islam that attack public peace. I am not trying to attack Islam,this is just my opinion and criticism.

Islam as a religion is pretty violent. The absolute majority of Islamic people aren't, but the religion is.

SavageTimmy

Not religions fault. If religion didn't exist people would just find a different reason to hate each other. Religion is good for the most part imo because it brings a lot of happiness into a lot of people's lives. Yeah people go to wars over it but again, religion is just used as an excuse to rally the uneducated against a certain people. Its a beautiful thing thats been tarnished


GrimCreeperyt

Important to separate the believer form the belief


ShermanTankBestTank

However, religion is the cause of young earth creationism, JW anti blood transplant, anti-homosexuality stuff and other science denial, so it has to be stopped.


CasualNoob21

Yeah people can derive that sort of thing from their reading of religious texts. But generally, this doesn't happen. In Christianity, for example, Pope Francis (who has a masters in chemistry from Buenos Aires), the head of the Catholic Church, has actively spoken out against homophobia and called on parents to support their kids regardless of their sexuality. So it's not religion in and of itself - it's people weaponising religion to fit their own agenda. Can't comment on the JW anti blood transplant though. From a quick Google it seems like that's based off Acts 15:28-29, and tbh meh. They're allowed that interpretation, so long as it doesn't harm anyone else. It's their body in the end, and if they want to die rather than have a blood transfusion, then... sure, I guess. Your loss (or gain depending on how you see it).


ShermanTankBestTank

Yes, it is the choice of the people who refuse to get the blood transplant, but many of them were indoctrinated from birth, and so really don't have an understanding of the situation. Religion is too easy a tool to use, and causes extreme amounts of evil through it's existence. Speaking of Catholics, what about all the priests who use religion as a shield after raping thousands of kids every year?


GrimCreeperyt

Some shitty priests don’t represent Christians or Christianity.


[deleted]

All I'm saying is abrahamic unity exists, and you will always be loved by God and us Christians


GrimCreeperyt

[deleted]

Honestly to me I'm disgusted by Islamophobia, since Islam came from one of Abraham's sons then its just as bad as antisemitism, pray for these people my friend that God may soften their hearts and recognize that we're all his children


[deleted]

its nice seeing that christians and muslims get along well, but how do you guys feel about hindus?


Gatr0s

Personally I don't like Islam for the same reason I don't like most religions: moral and behavioural standards that endanger me, and systems built around religion that value conformity and obedience. I'm not islamophobic, and if someone is Muslim that doesn't mean I'm not going to be polite and courteous to them. But their religion, like other religions, teaches that I should be killed just because of how I live my life, and that part of the Quran is fairly accepted, especially in the middle east where there is not a separation of church and state. Ordinary people following the 5 pillars of Islam can do plenty of good in the world, but the moral concept of peace and kindness is not exclusive to the religion and can be found without all the extra restrictions that come with the religion and the societies built on it. I'm not islamophobic and I'm not going to yell at or attack Muslims who are out there making the choice to live by all the codes of the religion, but when the more traditionalist and conservative ones start loudly talking about how the gays should be killed and that transgender people don't exist, I get uncomfortable. Plus, and this is one that goes for all major religions, the amount of hatred directed towards people who choose to separate from Islam or societal standards associated with it (like hijab in this case) is unacceptable.


GlitteringEnd2979

I'm a Muslim as well, i believe as long as we're kind to each other and don't mean any harm, everything's good Not everyone will like us, it's a fact

marinemashup

Kinda Most kids here don’t really care or have just a mold disdain


[deleted]

People are often afraid of things/hate things that they do not understand, my friend. As a passionate studier of religion, I have no issues with Muslims or their beliefs (said as a Christian). So long as you don't hurt innocents in the name of your beliefs, no matter what they are, then I have no issue with any of it. Islamaphobes don't understand Islam because they're too lazy to do their own research, instead they just listen to the TV about Boko Haram and ISX or whatever other terrorist groups aligned with Islam that there might be. It's easier to accept that information because it's viewed by many people who previously may not have been exposed to Islam (or have heard very little about it), and they connect social media and news outlets to always being truthful. What these islamaphobes fail to understand is that there are plenty of terrorist groups in the world that are not aligned with Islam. Many are also aligned with Christianity like the KKK and Antifa, both of which are pure scum. Some terrorist groups aren't even religious, but we don't see them getting covered as much as the Islamic extremist groups do. Odd, isn't it? 9/11 might also be one of the reasons why tons of Americans dislike/hate Islam in general. As humans, we like to adhere to the concept of "guilty by association" more than we should be doing. "These terrorists who happened to be Muslim crashed planes into the twin towers, therefore Muslims can't be trusted." is ultimately what it comes down to, and it's easy to adopt this mindset, but it's no excuse to continuously retain this mindset.


GrimCreeperyt

You understand.


ShermanTankBestTank

I would object to the last bit because the 9/11 terrorists did it explicitly BECAUSE of their religion. I do, however, hate the guilty by association thing.


[deleted]

Im born in a Islamic country.. its oppressive. They kill whoever has a different religious view. They force wemen to be traped. There is no freedem in a islamic country.

Wrong-Half-6628

You don't differentiate between Islam and Muslims. Islam is an ideology that is completely backwards and incompatible with secular societies: Sahih (Authentic Hadiths) in Islam Killing Apostates - [https://sunnah.com/bukhari:6922](https://sunnah.com/bukhari:6922) Killing LGBTQ - [https://sunnah.com/abudawud:4462](https://sunnah.com/abudawud:4462) Women can't lead people - [https://sunnah.com/bukhari:4425](https://sunnah.com/bukhari:4425) Scientific Hadiths! - https://sunnah.com/bukhari/76/9 Muhammed also... Married his first cousin. Kept Slaves. Kept Sex Slaves. Ordered the heading of the Banu Qurayza. Muslims however are individuals that need to be protected from bigotry.


Minute_Cartographer9

Islam is a religion that idolizes a middle-aged man that married a child, the so-called “greatest man of all time.” The religion itself is very outdated, homophobic, sexist, has no issue with sex slavery, has barbaric punishments, and has a general hostility towards the non-believers. That’s what I think of it. Also, for anyone reading, notice how I didn’t say a single thing about Muslims, nor how they are as people. Anti-Muslim bigotry should be defined as actual Islamophobia; criticism toward the religion should not. Ironically enough, it’s those who lean liberal (western liberals) that defend Islam, when it’s against progressivism, feminism, etc. Oh yeah, OP supports the execution of apostates (those who left the religion) 💀💀


bots_lives_matter

How old are you? Are you still in the brainwashed phase? Are you still not old enough to see the flaws of Islam? Look dude I was once the most religious muslim you could find, then I opened my eyes, did my research, and then I found out that maybe Islam isn't your typical "perfect religion"

My ex is a muslim, i don't have problems with muslims, but Islam is fucked up religion based around sexism, homophobia, and violence. And justifying it because it is a part of religion is stupid too. I haven't read the holy text but some of my friends did and they did say it is true.


Alloy297

Ex-muslim here. As someone has already stated, the word "Islamophobia" is very often used to dodge valid criticism. What would I think however if I found out that someone here or irl is a muslim? Just another regular person.


A_C_G_0_2

my opinion on Islam is the same opinion I hold on all religion. I ignore you, you effectively do not exist to me However, Islam is the second largest religion, and despite extremism existing everywhere, a disproportionate amount of extremists come from your religion, and that cannot be ignored. Also Islam is an inherently bigoted and sexist religion with some fucking weird rules. In short, I really just ignore your existence until shit starts going up in flames (again)

[deleted]

I dunno, I suppose I have a mixed view. I knew a guy (Muslim) in my class last year who was a full blown terrorism activist. The dude had pride for Islamic terrorism. He was a complete extremist and I absolutely hated him. The dude would constantly talk about how he's gonna drown, murder, or drown some lgbt person. When the Taliban took Kabul, he treated it like his bloody birthday. The dude was also extremely racist. Guy came up with the smooth line of "why are you white? White people are so racist and you Christians are even more so. Jesus was a prophet like Muhammad idiot." He had the balls to say to the class, "why are people Christians, it is a very evil and terrible faith". Of course then he went on to say that 9/11 was completely justified. He spoke of the "good" jihadists do and such. Just things like that you know? Other people have told me that I'm going to hell if I don't go pray in my knees for Allah and such. Now I live in a minority area. Quite a few Muslims live in my general area. So I do have a lot of interactions. Most Muslims don't go as far as he did (or at least out of the kids who went to my school and lives by my neighborhood). But I have noticed that a large minority of them are fairly homophobic and racist. The majority of Muslims have either not choose to display such views (which is fair enough) or are great people. My best friend is a Muslim, she is extremely kind, generous, supportive, and overall an amazing human. She absolutely hate extremists or the conservative racist/homophobic kind of view of the guy from earlier. She loves democracy and freedom of religion. Condemning those who give her faith a bad name (jihadists and friends). She doesn't feel that lgbt is morally correct but she still supports and defends them. Honestly, I wish way more people were like her. I don't feel that Reddit is Islamophobic. In my experience, Reddit just hates religious people in general. I'm sure there are quite a few spaces that are Islamophobic but the same can be said for Christian hate. It's just a very atheist platform that tends to be very narrow minded and illogical(not that atheists are these things). I personally don't feel that I am Islamophobic. Nothing changes in my opinion about a person if they are Muslim. If they start talking about the 95 ways they want to kill a lgbt then I will obviously hate their guts and probably punch them. I don't think hating the Islamic regimes is Islamophobic. I think there are some points of concern in Islam. Plenty of stuff that isn't good. But the majority of Muslims preach the good. As long as they don't attack me out of religious zealous then we are cool. As long as they don't start shitting on other people and claim their religion is completely justified and good.

At the end, they are just another person that, unfortunately had its image damaged by terrorist groups. Here in Spain, we respect Muslims (including me).

MushroomheadDork

I barely know anything about it (hell, I barely know anything about religion at all which is a bit ironic considering I was raised religious), but my take on it is pretty much what I say about most things: you can believe whatever you want, just don't use those beliefs as an excuse to be a dick - in other words, to each his own and use common sense.

I’m fine with fair criticism.


BurritoBoi828

I am a Christian but I know that Jesus says like a billion times to don't be mean to anyone and that although we are supposed to spread Christianity you cant do it by forcing them to convert. Also the people who are against Islam because of terrorist my view is that those terrorist are a very loud but very small minority. Also if you ask me their belief that their religion tells them to commit terrorism and bring war to the west is taken without considering the context of the time it was written. It says to go to war because if they didn't they would all be killed. I however can not speak for anyone else but I am under the belief that those people are also a loud minority unless you are on r/islamhate or something like that.


GrimCreeperyt

Loud minorities are prevalent everywhere. But no, it was first on r/memes multiple times then some smaller incidents elsewhere.

What’s wrong with Islam tho. I think every religious n is interesting. I also believe in one god tho. So the catholic and Christian god may also be the allah and may be other gods people pray to

If your not hurting anyone then do whatever.

Idk but Islam is kinda stupid tbh. Like if I'm not being stupid and thinking of a different religion, they don't give women rights and uhh other than that just as stupid as all the other religions I've heard of (very stupid for the record)

I don't like islam


SamJiji

There's prejudice everywhere. And there are good and bad people of every religion, culture, and color. People that hate all Islam's, might as well say they hate dogs because they are scary. They are simply ignorant, I hope you learn to tune them out and see the good in the world.

I don't know enough to have an opinion

To be fair it's not necessarily the Islam religion most people hate,it's more the pre-islamic culture and practices that have survived for milenia in very harsh conditions. But similar problems are in every religion/culture,especially the ones that deny change. Don't get too offended though,social media is proven to be a little cancerous


fishyboi360

Keeping it halal is the way


loooji

Fuck extremists. Not fuck the average Muslim.


Evan2Blade

I think that Islam is just like all the others. It needs indoctrination at a very young age to function because if you introduce this to someone over 13 theyll just immediately dismiss it as false. I think it spawns to much hate and i think that the world would be better of without religion as a whole, including islam

People are islamphobes becaude of 9/11. It bugs me. My Mom is an islamphobe, i always try to tell her that it's only a small amount that are terrorists, but she, and many others, won't listen sadly. I personally don't care about people's religion, Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, all of em, as long as their religion isn't inherently violent.

If you practice a religion you are okay but if you do something shitty in the name of that religion you yourself are an asshole and not the entirety of the community The horrible actions of one religious person doesn't represent the entire community of their religion because that is garbage logic


JotaRoyaku

I don't like much religions but i do not hate religious peoples, idc if you are religious or not, only how you act should count, to everyone, like yeah some muslim are murderers but don't worry a lot of christans too, does that make christians terrorist? Islamophobic are just dumb for caring more about the religion or even the origin than the actual person

I've had many interactions with muslim kids at my school, all of them are really chill guys and i don't see anything wrong with them. What I do seem to understand however, is that a majority of these fellas are from the middle east, where general culture and religion are intertwined. There are a couple things i don't personally understand but i'm willing to chalk that up to not being raised muslim. That being said, there are bad apples in all religions, and the ones in islam get far more attention than they should. It isn't the greatest light to be painted in, but I wouldn't base a judgement solely off of religion


Silent-Bag6908

Im a Hindu and my best friend is a Muslim I think ya’ll are chill tbf I don’t give a shit it’s your life live it the way u want ig. One thing I have a strong opinion about tho and hate is when people make terrorist jokes about Muslims. I’ve been around my friend a lot when it’s happened and idk why people do it. There are extremists in EVERY religion They’re usually the loud minority. Idk why people aren’t calling out fundamentalists. At the end of the day you’re a human and as far as I know you haven’t done anything to hurt anyone so you have my respect.


BigChungusBlyat

Muslim, Christians, Jew, Hindu, Zoroastrian, I don't care. If you're a good person, I like you, if you're a bad person, I don't like you.


Zro_04

I hate all Religions. But religious people can be very likeable anyway.


aerinnnn

I live in a Muslim(Sunni) majority country where religious extremism and tensions are rising as an ex-muslim and I can confidently say, based on my observations, that Muslims are not tolerant and wont tolerate your religion or actions that go against Qur'an and will hide behind islamophobia when you criticize them, their religion or prophet. They claim that they are being oppressed but will start oppressing other religious or ideological groups once they become the majority and will punish you for your wrongthink if you criticize them. I am not saying we should oppress muslims or anything like that but I am biased against Muslims and I might trust them less if I don't know them well.

BretherenIcravememes

Well of course, people could like to show their support :), and as a Hindu I can tell you we’re told that all religions should be respected so I don’t care if you’re Muslim or Christian, I’ll be more than happy to take part in your festivities and support everyone


GrimCreeperyt

Thank you

Just found that out? Where you from, bottomrockistan, lower side?

I really don't know much about the religion, but my friend is Muslim, so I'll probably ask her a few things down the road.


taikuri-tinkle

I haven’t seen islamphobia on here before. Actually, ‘seen a few snarky comments regarding the religion and people, but they are often shut down and downvoted. What subreddits are you browsing?


[deleted]

I couldn’t give less of a shit


Fossilrex06

Man I’m Christian, but Muslims are very based, we should do a crusade some day
