As an atheist, they would want 100000€ on my bank, a high grade, summary of my life, 10+ countries on my passport.
But they allowed this guy just for being radical islamist 🤦♂️
Peep, I’m from Muslim majority country and this is real Islam. Don’t let them in or send them back. They hate you and this never will change. Even some of them friendly right now, it’s matter of time for them to be radicalized with rise of right wing in EU.
It is in their law/shariah to make other people Muslim and if they cannot, to kill them.
Note: I wrote this comment without any hatred, for informational purposes only. I am just sharing my life experience.
I can't verify it because there is no name or information about the person who did it in the news, but I assumed that it was a person who came to France later. After all, I don't think there were many Muslims in France 100 years ago 😅 Even if he wasn't, my thoughts still stand.
In the same comment chain, I’ve said that “normal muslims” can become radicalized as well. We’re in welfare times right now. What will happen in WW3? What will happen when your country attacks to a muslim country? Can you guarentee those peaceful Muslims will still be peaceful?
France has been supporting Israel at first in October. Did you see millions of Muslims French killing other people?
Immediately following the Oct. 7 attacks, Macron condemned Hamas and supported Israel’s right to defend itself. On Oct. 12, his government controversially banned all pro-Palestinian protests due to the potential for violence and antisemitic incidents (in the past, protesters have burned cars and pelted police officers with stones, and chanted antisemitic slogans).
While the majority of French Muslims remain moderate in their views, small pockets of extremists support Hamas and have called for the destruction of Israel.
You’re still thinking “white/black/brown” debate. I’m talking about waaayy different subject. You know exactly what people I’m talking about. You are just trying to bend the situation.
No you werent. You were making braod assumptions that are already proven to be wrong and you blame it on "Islam", which implies "all Muslims", despite there being evidence of psychiatric disorder in the suspect. Schizophrenia and other disorders with mania often express themselves in religious symbols. but if a psychatric ill person refers to Christianity would you say that this is Christianity for everyone? Probably not.
Also you should consider carefully, if you want to stir more anti-Muslim sentiment. When it comes to progroms, the people will not care if you are muslim, atheist, christian or jew. They'll just see a "brown" person. You might get praise from the political right now, but they will not protect you, no matter how loudly you announce to be different from the other "brown people".
Have you never asked yourself why so many people of this one religion turn out to have "psychological problems"? What are the chances of that statistically if, as you seem to suggest, religion has nothing to do with this?
Next, this person is trying to disassociate their skin color from their opinion, and in response you are insisting on essentializing them on the basis of biology. Have you considered how close this puts you to people you claim to abhor?

No, because this is horseshit. Muslims in Europe aren't more violent than non muslims. They are more often subject to violence and discrimination by the white majority though. It is just that violence commited by muslims, or people claimed to be muslim is disproporitonately sensationalized by right wing media. Of course this is accompanied with white supremacists spurting desinformation and claiming every crime, where no information on nationality, skin colour or religion of the suspects is known, as being commited by muslims. Also violence against muslims is systematically underreported, but that would make for another dozens paragraphs.

You are wrong. I'm warning him, that this will be done to him, by the people whose agenda he is supporting, by making evidently false claims about the suspect and the treatment of the suspect. He is also blowing the right wing dogwhistle of violent muslims being "imported" to Europe. And the fascists whose position he is strengthening by doing this will not care. Just earlier this week an ex-muslim gay men of turkish origin wanted to join the German Nazi party AfD. He was met with calls to violence and having him deported, that led to him experiencing more racism and hostility in a few days, than in his entire life in Germany before. The fascist dogs will not accept him for blowing their whistle. They'll tear him apart like everybody else if they get the chance to.
Muslims in Europe aren’t more violent than non muslims
In terms of terrorism, the statistics say otherwise. In terms of general crime, the prison statistics do too. Of course, you will explain all this away as a product of systemic discrimination. But does it not bother you that immigrants of other religions, who also may also have darker skins, do so much better in their adopted homelands?
Also violence against muslims is systematically underreported
This is conspiracism. It's impossible to argue with, by definition.
It is just that violence commited by muslims, or people claimed to be muslim is disproporitonately sensationalized by right wing media
This common argument is interesting because the implication is that speaker is somehow intellectually superior than the person being addressed. We all have access to the same information, how come only you know how to avoid being indoctrinated? Are you saying I'm dumb? Go on, just come out and say, I won't be offended.
Because that's what underlies the argument. As it happens, and as you might guess, I personally am extremely well-informed, and almost entirely from mainstream professional journalists who are affiliated to boring organizations with serious reputations to protect. I am over-educated and I don't go near sensationalist right-wing media, or social media. And in fact I don't even vote for right-wing parties. How do you explain that? I think you should try a new tack: taking people's opinions at face value rather than looking for manipulation, and listening to why people themselves say they think what they do.
Addendum. Downvoting is so much easier than finding a counter-argument, right? I will take it as proof that my points hit their mark. Good night.
Regardless of color, I was saying that the west should be careful about Muslims. And I still say that. I don't have any ulterior motives. Interpret it however you want.
There is no point in calling me a bigot without giving any reason.
Is it enough for me to say "you are right" to end this discussion? Because it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Because I don't agree with most of your opinions and you don't seem to be able to change mine.
At a guess, you seem to be talking to a member of a generation that never got contradicted during its childhood, that believes it has all the answers, that sees dissenters to its groupthink as social deviants who need be silenced. The Western enlightenment is yesterday's news, we've moved on in the West! Well done for keeping your cool and staying polite.
Against a former Muslim, who fled a Muslim led country because of their Muslim laws. Telling them they’re a bigot for hating Islam is fucking condescending, white savior syndrome.
Who are you to tell others how to think? Asking them to apologize, are you serious? The level of self-righteousness and self-absorption in your attitude is worrying.
I’m not telling him what to think. I’m telling him he’s being a little coward, throwing the rock then hiding the hand.
So it’s up to him. Either he didn’t mean to be a horrible bigot, then he can apologize for it and we’re cool. Or he did, and then he has to own it.
I’m not telling him what to think. He’s free to be a bigot. God knows it’s a pretty widespread affliction. But he can’t deliberately engage in that kind of behavior and get away with equivocating hoping no one notices.
attitude is worrying
No, what is worrying is accepting that behavior in a public place. This is not, and will not be, the Nazi bar.
The whole concept of apologizing for opinions is just, well, wild. To me yes but I assure you to quite a lot of other people too. Not wanting to make this personal, but I would put money on a wager that you belong to a certain generation. One that, let's say, is particularly certain of its moral rectitude and doesn't put much stock in the value of free speech and the exchange of ideas.
I would take that money from you. I’m way older than you imply.
And no, you did not get it. The invitation to apologize was not for his thoughts/opinion. It was for his words if they did not match his thoughts. It’s customary, in many cultures, that if you do something hurtful but don’t mean it, you apologize.
Given they just called you a boomer, either you're over 80 if you're really "way older than you imply" (ie the war generation) or they were spot on the money.
I think you've just confirmed their position - the closed mind and moral certitude of a boomer have been screaming out of this thread
What did I said and then tried to spin about? I never included skin color. You bring it there. I’m not gonna sorry because you understand my sentences wrong.
Let me guess you’re from Iran? Sounds like every Iranian I’ve ever met. Your problem isn’t Islam or any other religion, your problem is being oppressed by a facist dictatorship that uses a religion to legitimize themselves. If they had labeled themselves as Zoroastrians then you’d live under pretty much the same fucked up regime, but you’d blame it all on Zoroastrians instead of a bunch of dicks who fucked over your country for their own benefit.
Cool then replace Zoroastrians with Kemalists and also replace Iranian with expat in the West from Istanbul and we’re all set except that Kemalists were in power before and weren’t any less fascist than Islamists.
Well but Kemalism is also just a cult of personality with a nationalist agenda attached to it.
I can only repeat. The problem is fascists doing fascist stuff. And finding whatever reason to justify it. The most deadly dictatorships in history were all non religious.
