    You keep putting “american taliban” in quotes, but you’re not quoting anyone present. You’re the only one here using that terminology.

    You see, from my perspective, I see the candidate’s religion being Islam as a plus at first glance. It probably means they’ll have a better policy on the Palestinian genocide, for example. Or be better for brown people in general.

    I think, on lemmy, that’s how most people are going to interpret that headline.

    That’s just an atheist pointing out that Islam is no better than the other Abrahamic religions, from my perspective. The way I interpret this is that the fact that she is muslim is being used as a positive spin, when at best it is a neutral spin that doesn’t even need mentioned.

      Incorrect, since muslims get mentioned on every negative thing in the headlines, therefore not mentioning it on positive things hides the positive news out of the muslim community while highlighting the negatives.
