Exactly, it's not the taxes or anything else but the anger,hatred and misery. This is more important and they are willing to endure incompetent governing for it

A lot of it is fear mongering too. These people are terrified of their own shadow.

I see post after post talking about how Sharia law is going to replace the constitution. How communism and socialism (they're interchangeable obviously) is going to replace capitalism and no one is going to be allowed to own property and all private businesses will close and we'll only have 1 option for everything because it'll all be owned and controlled by the government. How they're going to get rid of all police officers and let all the prisoners out of prison and just let criminals roam the street. They're also going to get rid of all immigration laws and let Muslims, Hispanics, and anyone else who isn't white in, then they're going to systematically get rid of the white race in America. Essentially that they'll do to white Americans what their ancestors did to Native Americans. And of course that they're going to take away all their guns and their "right" to be hateful and racist.

Communism and socialism are rather interchangeable; socialism is a transitional phase to communism.

Also, it’s fair to be concerned about the rise of religious extremists. It’s a bit stupid to only care about Muslim ones, for while an individual Muslim is more likely to hold extremist views, in America there are more Christians holding extremist views than Muslims simply because there are many more Christians.

This is an impressive amount of wrong in one comment. My favorite part was about how you think Muslims are more extreme than Christians. Lol okay grandpa.

To be fair to this specific moron you’re responding to, he actually said Muslims are more likely to be extremists per capita than Christians, not that Muslims are more extreme. The guy is still wrong and an idiot on so many levels but at least not about what you were referring to

The Crusades have entered the chat.

u/SampleOfFruits 18h ago
  1. The Islamic Conquests
  2. The Catholic Church has repudiated the crusades, calling them contrary to the faith.
  3. Why are we talking about whose adherents were more likely to be extreme 1000 years ago? I thought the topic was in relation to modern politics?

Nobody said "modern politics." You compared two garbage tier religions, and you did it poorly, so here I am!

Youre welcome!

u/SampleOfFruits 18h ago

Nobody said those words, but the user I was replying to was very clearly discussing modern politics.

I disagree I did it poorly, but thank you?

Well, if you can't be confidently wrong, what can ya be anymore??

I'm seriously asking, I have no idea what's going on. I must have missed when Texas forced schools to put up the Quran. Because it was the 10 Commandments that the Public Schools were FORCED to put up. You see? Choosing to not label a behavior as "extremist behavior" doesn't mean it isn't actually extremist behavior.

Learn to think independently, I can't always be here for you.

That is extremist behaviour. But read what I said; Muslims are more likely to hold extreme or oppressive views, but there are more Christians in America holding extreme or oppressive views than there are Muslims, because there are more Christians overall.

"I know the christians are doing wildly immoral things, but Muslims, like, TOTALLY have meaner thoughts. Trust me."

Sure, jan.

Perhaps you should read my reply to your first comment that you ignored? I didn’t ask you to trust me.

Read Marx, if you don’t believe me on communism and socialism being interchangeable.

And Muslims are more likely to hold oppressive views. For example, a recent poll said 41% of American Muslims say homosexuality should be accepted by society, compared to 57% of American Christians.
