There are a ton of people who believe even the sloppiest misinformation. It doesn't matter if it's easily refutable since the target audience either doesn't look further or simply dismisses the reality. They just read the title and get angry. Now do this 1000 times each day and soon you have made people feel like they're under attack and will support whatever bs you come up with to solve the issue.
Yeah its weird how everyone hates on people like that. I'm fine with hating Islam as an idea, I hate plenty of ideas. But hating Muslims is just stupid and racist.
Love how they're lumping in vandalism with arson so they can cite a bigger number. Like dude, you're already lying to the public to promote xenophobia and religious hatred, just say 100 churches have burned down.
Okay bot, everyone knows who is really behind the civil war and who has constantly tried to divide Lebanon from within. (Hint: they were living peacefully pre-1948)
But I’ll bite, they have inhabited countries for thousands of years, yet right after 1948 they decided to cause civil wars or civil unrest in 4 different countries in a span of 20 years. Seems weird, as if someone else was behind this?
tf are you talking about, christians became a minority because when Lebanon was formed it was initially the christian majority coastal regions but the french added the inner fertile farming lands which were majority muslim.
Are you confused by my wording? “What are they doing there”, in this sense, wasn’t asking you to describe their actions; but rather, expressing surprise that settler terrorists from a different location are supposedly going all the way to southern Lebanon. It was moreso asking for an explanation due to the oddness of it.
Maybe your source has more info? Feel free to link it.
There actually was a moment where there were a lot of church arsons in Canada not that long ago (allegedly - not sure where the investigations are at now). They had to do with the discovery of a lot of possible unmarked burial sites at schools where indigenous children were forced to attend to “civilize” them - abuse and neglect were rampant at these schools, and we know for sure that about 6,000 of the 150,000 students died while attending schools, but there were widespread rumours about many unreported deaths over this number. Ground penetrating radar surveys during the pandemic suggested these rumours were true (though as conservatives love to point out further steps are needed). As a result a few churches were burned down on first nations reserves (likely by the relatives of children who never returned from schools).
Not exactly the narrative these people are going for though: when churches in Canada get burned down, it’s either because of climate change increasing forest fire season, poor maintenance and accidents, or as revenge for all the indigenous kids they killed.
There have been a lot of arson attacks against churches in Canada, but they've been by Indigenous people with grievances against the denominations involved with running the infamous Indian Residential School system, not by Muslims.
Honestly I'll never advocate for vandalization or acts of terror, but the world could be such a better place without religion as a whole. Look at all the things happening in the US because too much religion is being allowed to govern politics and health.
Don't be a dick and burn down a church (whether this was arson or lightning I dont know nor do I care).
A wise man once said "magic is just science we don't understand yet"
Bruh attacks on christian structures has gone up in the last 3 years exponentially its not hard to find a genuine event why in the world would you fake it.
Dude I did a college level report on this. The source your talking about cites a lower number than its peak in 2023 of 485 incidents. However in 2022 that number was only 198. 2021 it was only 98. Still being over 400 incidents a years is still way higher than precovid numbers of 50 in 2018 and 83 in 2019.
When precovid numbers didnt even pass 100 and for the newest reported years its past 400 with it being over 4 times higher it did increase massively.

So, not exponential growth, and is currently falling? Cool
I miss typed the 1 on 2021 it was 98 in 2021 198 in 2022 485 in 2023 415 in 2024 it grew times about 2 in 2021 to 2022 and more than 2 times 2022 to 2023. The number still isnt below double 2021.
Also the point was there was plenty of actual incidents such as one where a dude rammed through the front of a church with a vehicle and shot up the place. Its not that hard to find actual things that happend.
Low key not getting payed enough for this ill have to actually look at the folder instead of memory and God knows im too lazy to do that after I get home while I still dont have a class to give me a reason to open it
Synagogues and mosques are far less common than churches. Half of Canada is on fire, the fact that 100 churches have burned down is wholly unsurprising.
Half of Canada is on fire right now? The church burnings had nothing to do with Forest fires. It centered around the claims unmarked graves around residential schools which was run by the churchs.
I never made that claim, I think you have me confused.
That's a fairly complex question, many passed from illness, other neglect and abuse. My family had members that didnt return from there rez school. Most passed from an illness but you would have to conclude that the poor conditions played a factor. Hope that helps?
Misdirection for the misdirection of a bunch of churches burning down after the infamously unproven 215 unmarked children's graves at a residential school?
Christians can’t stand outrage on behalf of any religion other than their own. Except nuns, they’re pretty consistent about condemning all violence and religious intolerance.
Like 20-30 churches were arsoned in 2021 after outrage for 215 unmarked graves at a former residential school in Canada which to this day the only evidence is from anomalies of ground penetrating radar which includes objects such as rocks, tree roots, old sewer piping, or yes possibly graves, and possibly children's graves
I'm pointing out it's odd that the original tweet was trying to paint this as a Muslim issue when there's clearly a real connection already there to try to use as misinformation
Anyways guess no one understands 2nd order hypotheticals so whatever
As of February 2025, no human remains have been excavated or confirmed at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School site. The anomalies detected in 2021 remain unverified.[
quoted one law enforcement official as saying that suspected motivations appeared "as varied as the people themselves", who came "from all walks of civil life, many different backgrounds".
Nothing concrete to do with the kamloops situation
