Leaked Documents Suggest Secretive Billionaire Trump Donors Are Milo’s Patrons
The Mercer family helped Donald Trump become President — and they appear to be funding the controversial Yiannopoulos.
Someone needs to deliver this important information to Drumpf’s base-
Have you checked out the religion itself? It is not Islamaphobic to stand against a religion that discriminates against women and gays.
Then we need to include the Catholic Church.
You might want to take another look at the article. It is indeed Islamophobic to “take a stand” against Islam and mislead people with the false idea that all followers of Islam are discriminatory against women and gays. You seem to be taking kernel of truth, like that Saudi Arabia’s fundamentalist Salafi version of Islam is discriminatory, and you’re projecting that onto all of Islam, even though, like Christianity, it has many branches, sects and offshoots and few of them are as harsh on women and gays as the Salafists.
Have you checked out the Baptist Church? How are they different?
I want to ban all religion. You don’t need religion to have god.
He needs no middle man.
I recently heard a set by Nour Hadidi, a Muslim comic born in Jordan and raised in Canada. She’s hilarious. Here are some clips.
Here is a short one:
Longer clips of her better stuff:

Somehow, she gives me hope.
With arrests and everything? Prisons full of grandmothers praying rosaries for their addicted grandsons and courtrooms full of zaydes pleading guilty to hosting seders?
The Catholic church is not killing masses of innocent people, and I make no excuses for a lot of other religious behavior. Just read the Koran. Muslims are a danger to civilization.
The Bible is no picnic either. But no one on earth really pays attention to the many OT smiting parts. This is not true about many Muslims today. Huge numbers of them are simply living in the Middle Ages, and it is a much more oppressive Middle Ages in many ways than the European version was. An average woman in Europe then was less oppressed than many in the Muslim world today. Check out the Pew research data - in one Middle Eastern country a majority think that anyone who leaves Islam should be killed.
How much the attitudes to women and gays and apostates etc. that are rampant in the Muslim world are not necessarily entirely because of the religion, but the religion is used to justify and enforce them. It’s a relationship between culture and religion, like anywhere. Look at Dorthea Day vs. some megachurcer Prosperity Gospelite.
This does not mean that there are not many millions of Muslims who are attempting to live a decent and loving life, but we should not be afraid to look at the actual facts as they are.
Sorry, but being somewhat retarded about women is not the same as keeping them in the house as one of several wives, only serving men and only able to leave wearing a pup tent with a close male relative, basically considered worthless other than cranking out sons.
It appears you have not read the Koran.
If you mean by “Middle Ages”, living in poverty, then you are correct.
After reading an excellent and comprehensive article detailing Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hate speech in all its aspects, I’m dismayed to find so much Islamophobia in the comments. I’ve known and worked with dozens of Muslims, both in the US and in the Middle East and I’ve never met a single one with multiple marriages or that “wore a pup tent” or that thinks that “anyone who leaves Islam should be killed.” These are the kinds of smears spread by professional Muslim-haters like Spencer, Gellar, Howorwitz, Pipes and the others on the SPLCs hate lists. Calling Islam “a danger to civilization” sounds like something from pre-war Germany.
I always am.
I refuse to watch Bill Maher anymore because of his intractable Islamophobia.
It’s disgusting to see people put the spotlight on just one of the Abrahamic faiths and claim it is especially awful. No it is not - all 3 of the Abrahamic faiths are misogynist, patriarchal, the bible is a handbook for how to abuse women and children. The OT is one long genocide against everyone who isn’t Hebrew. The whole damn Abrahamic structure sucks.’
You cannot say that one of those religions is any worse than the rest of them.
No, I mean Medieval Europe. You know, feudal, serfs, craftspeople, town market, big Catholic church in the middle of town. Not poverty in general.
Over two years ago very Roman Catholic Ireland voted 62% in favor of legalizing gay marriage. Women there are even able to drive cars and go out all by themselves, not dressed in a pup tent.
Who’d of known that Putin would become the Defender of the Faith?
