Make up whatever narrative you want in order to protect your ego.

You're just a bigot.

the other is a (potentially harmful) ideology, which you have the power to distance yourself from.

Tell that to every gay muslim who can't speak out.

It's so frustrating constantly seeing people use the "Muslims stoning gay men to death" thing while never thinking about those gay men other than as a fucking scapegoat.

As for your shit about one is a trait you're born with that you have no control over... You think that doesn't apply to religion? You think that a dude born in the middle of Saudi Arabia is going to get a say on what religion he grows up under?

Yes. Religion has problems. Many fucking problems. But handwaving it away as something that you have no control over is a minimization of reality and a fundamental demonstration that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Don't use us gay folk as an example for your hatred when you don't care about the gay folks INSIDE of that group. Things are not as black and white as you want to believe that they are.

And all of that without bothering to point out that you're being just as bigoted by acting like every single Muslim is absolutely the same.

Okay. Not sure what your comment has to do with me calling this dude out for being bigoted though. None of that is "permission" to be bigoted.

First, religion is not a race.

Might want to educate yourself on what racism is because Islamophobia is considered a subset of racism. Source 1, Source 2, Source 3.

Second, I’m from place where muslims (very secular ones at it) are significant minority.

Which is irrelevant unless OP lives in the same area you're from. You also did not clarify that and spoke about Muslims as a whole, you did not clarify level of secularity.

Third, I’ve been in the situation outlined, and heard of similar from people in this situation.

I doubt anecdotal evidence from you personally is reflective of reality in your area, nevermind world wide.

Also there were at least two religiously minded honor killings that I know of one involved tatar (muslim) family, another cyhan (christian) family.

And again, anecdotal evidence from your specific area. That isn't reflective of reality and it is racist as shit for you to go "My experiences reflect reality as a whole."

So. I say again. What is this racist bullshit? Fuck off, dude.

Islamophobia is considered a subset of racism.

At best, they will be upset

At worst, they will murder

Jesus fucking christ.

First off, at worst, anyone is going to murder anyone. You clearly have never dated someone and met their father who was on the edge of murder.

Second, at best they won't be happy? So according to you, every single muslim hates their child dating someone who isn't muslim and won't be happy? Guess I better tell that to literally every muslim I've dated whose parents didn't give a solitary shit and were actively supportive of their gay kid. Or my friends who've dated/married muslims and were accepted into the families while being Jewish or Atheist or Protestant.

What is this racist/islamophobic bullshit? Fuck off, dude.

(Edit: Islamophobia is considered a subset of racism but nonetheless I added it on its own)

Edit 2: Downvote me all you want. Your value as a human is equivalent to the value you give other humans so I'm really not concerned with what the fuck you think.

You don't get to decide who's Canadian

Good that I didn't, huh? Considering I explicitly called you a Canadian and an ex-pat Canadian and said "If you insist on being Canadian." So already you're just inventing shit to be upset over.

I'm realy not concerned about how my tone makes you feel

No, I've looked through your comment history. You've made it abundantly clear you aren't concerned with what anyone thinks.

The guy/girl was straight-up lying

Oh I'm sorry. I was unaware that if you believe someone else is lying you are given cart blanche to be as unbearable as humanly possible and try to beat the arrogant smug with more arrogant smug of your own. Please. By all means. Do carry on.

I will not apologise for pointing that out.

Nor did I tell you do.

I simply said that you are never going to convince anyone to listen to you when you're behaving the way that you are. You are acting like a toddler. You are throwing a temper tantrum and lashing out. To anyone from the outside, it seems like a liar who made up reading the act is being yelled at by a child who cannot control his own temper.

Keep thinking that you won in this situation when you both lost.

Good luck with that. Just keep it in mind when you wonder why no one wants to listen to you, why no one cares what you think, and why everyone you talk to seems to utterly ignore your opinion.

Flies, vinegar and honey. Try googling it sometime. Have fun throwing your own pity party, don't expect the rest of us to show up to it.

My sister snapped a pic when she first saw it and sent it over.

"It is a sign for you and your people."

"My people?"

"Homosexuals."

I love her so much.

I do love it whenever my island pops up in the news or memes.

Whether you're right or they are, it doesn't change the fact that you are acting unbearably smug and self absorbed. You aren't exactly demonstrating any redeeming or useful qualities if your entire comment is that level of hostile bitchiness for no reason.

Drop that personality off across the border in America where it belongs. Or if you absolutely insist on being Canadian, then piss off back to /r/Canada with the rest of your kind? That is, if you want a single person to change their opinion instead of doubling down because they are being yelled at by some expat Canadian. You know, because that's totally gonna change someone's mind.

No, turns out people against wholesale slaughter? You don't say... Not sure why the dude from fucking ISRAEL doesn't know that but sure.

The IDF continue to demonstrate they are not Nazis by doing Nazi things.

To be fair, this does sorta fit. Advising on what add ons to use for the trip that you (hopefully) booked through them or will book your next through. Kinda clever, as far as marketing goes.

I've got well over a thousand hours in Hitman: WOA across PS5 and PC. I've put thousands and thousands across the entire series. I am also obsessed with James Bond and know far too much lore.

The level of hype I have for this game cannot be understated. Like... Deltarune type shit.

I am floored you didn't make the 007: First Light post. I had to find out from a friend, like some sort of plebian
