Don’t rely on religious people to back LGBTQ, as most of the LGBTQ hate comes from religions like islam, christianity, and judiaism. Their holy hate books support their LGBTQ hate, and have for thousands of years.
Don’t mix religion and government, that’s how you get nazis and project 2025. The muslim or jewish versions are no better.
People have said the same thing about Zohran Mamdani btw, despite him being extremely vocal about his support for trans rights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvVSpN0BXg
She’s not mixing religion and government. She just happens to be a Muslim who is also a politician. But if that itself is a problem I wonder if you say this to every Christian and Jewish politician too?
They did mention project 2025 and Nazis, to be fair, as well as specifically calling it Judaism and Christianity. I’m not sure the implication that the person you’re replying to is islamophobic is fair.
She seems like one of the rare few religious people who actually gets it and cares, but I agree with being wary of religious politicians in general, because most do NOT get it and do not want to.
This is just islamophobia. People are people, I take them at face value.
Where is this specifically islamophobia rather than just anti-religiousness?
It being a response to an article about a muslim woman???
Usually the Religion isn’t mentioned in the headline, so maybe that’s what prompted them to make that comment?
Except it is often in the headline if the person is islamic…
That’s on the people writing headlines though, not on the commenter
They chose to respond that comment to this article. Whether it was in the headline or not is irrelevant.
And they mention two other religions, and criticise religion generally. This is not targeted at Islam specifically and exclusively.
I don’t buy that. The comment is in response to this article. Generalising it doesn’t make it less prejudice. That’s like saying it’s not antisemitic to walk into a* synagogue and start shouting about how all religion is evil.
The comment about religion is on an article about a religious person, yes. I guess OP could have gone and found a different article that specifically mentions a different religion in the headline, but that would have been prejudiced against that particular religion, yeah? What are we supposed to just pussyfoot around any naming of any specific religion?
