because Muslims are fanatics and unfit for democracy, actually kind of have a point.
i am glad that people are starting to wake up and understand that islam is more of a political ideology than a religion.
they’re doing it out of pure hatred towards other people
I would take away the veracity from these statements (because ultimately people can change and Muslims are not a monolith) and I’d say I agree. There is definitely a political aim of the Muslim religion, and us westerners should be rebuking the illiberal aspects of Muslim adherents. It’s one thing to support a Muslim’s choice of religion, it’s another to think it’s okay to give up another group’s freedom because Muslims want to prescribe their beliefs.
More generally, religion is inherently about exercising control. It’s always a political ideology on a state level, because that’s what religion was always about. There’s a reason heads of state were usually with a church’s blessing, and said blessing could be taken away.
Christianity is no better in this regard as an example, and while on a microscopic level each individual religion can be more or less a problem in each particular situation, it’d do well for us as a species to grow up and get past our need for Santa Claus in general.
