Do you dislike/distrust Muslims?

not all muslims are bad since there is this liberal muslim movements that is increasing in numbers and want to reform islam to become aligned with the modern world

Though this question is as relevant as ever, I ask this after seeing the xenophobic blockbuster bust that is London has fallen starring Gerald Butler, aka worst accent actor ever.

The 'bad guys' in the movie are all muslims- and in many movies this is the case as well. Media constantly portrays them as terrible people, which leads to actual people thinking this. I mean, it's rare that people in a movie theater would actually cheer for a bunch of people dying, but people seem to love it when muslims die- who seem to be the majority root of all villains in a majority of action movies. (or a lot of movies anyway)

Not that it affects me, I'm just wondering if you don't like muslims or you hate them? & would you think western media has had a hand in your own opinion?

To be honest, I distrust white people more than I distrust Muslims. I don't really know or have any sort of meaningful interactions with Muslims. But I have interactions with white people. And they're all terrible. At least the white oriole I went to grade school with are still pretty cool

But you live in a place full of white people.

If they are all terrible move out?

I wish you would use your bending of grammar rules a bit less and interpunction a bit more...


It's more a mixture of dry humor and sarcasm.
But you did well delivering exactly the level of off-topic uselessnes i expect from someone that has Aesthetica in his favorites.

Dealing with a pseudo-intellectual again.

Someone who thinks that their anime taste is superior and that taste in anime has relevance to a discussion about Muslims and then talking about off-topic.

You are trying to be very edgy for someone that claims they are above that. SERIOUS BUSINESS

Aeonenleben said:

Still more on-topic than your post that was nothing more than a lame and bitchy one-liner.

Sorry, even your average anime viewer that just likes One-Piece, Dragonball Z and Pokemon has a superior taste to you. It's not about me being at the top as it is about you being at the absolute bottom.

I am not edgy. You just see me as edgy. Kinda like offense is always taken, never given.

To stay on topic:
I trust Muslims more than people with Aesthetica, Highschool DxD or Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai in their favorites.

I hate Islam, not individual Muslims. I do distrust them though, but I distrust all strangers. It's only natural that I would be more wary around a stranger belonging to a generally more dangerous ideology than a stranger belonging to an ethnicity or ideology that has less negative stereotypes.

That's like asking if someone distrusts Christians. Generally, I don't care about their religion but if they're assholes I'll dislike them. I've met more Christians and Catholics I distrust compared to Muslims.

A lot of people need a reality check.

If you go to Saudi Arabia or Qatar and start preaching the gospel to Muslims, you would probably distrust them and end up in jail for trying to convert a Muslim. That would be the majority you distrust due to Muslims growing up thinking fascism is a normal way of life (Jews and Christians are lesser than Muslims.) In Pakistan someone's on death row at the moment for an apparent criticism of Muhammad. Her family are in hiding because most of the country want her dead, an if she is released even local imams say they'll make her pay for what they think she did. It's hard to have faith that they'll show mercy.

In European countries themselves we've had documentaries revealed of Islamic faith schools beating children and indoctrinating them to take not friends of non Muslims. We've got "respectable" Islamic scholars and people with influence who can't answer whether apostasy should be punishable by death. So I'm not shocked when large portions of Muslim community's also agree that you shouldn't have freedom to criticise and should be punished. If moderate Muslims are so knowledgable of Islam and hate that their religion has been hijacked then why do they suck at debating it?

Dont be ridiculous. Movies dont use only Muslims They use things relevant to current events or events relevant to the themes or time period presented. They still use German and Russian villains but that doesnt mean people hate germans or russians. They use Italian mobsters but that doest men people hate Italians. They also use the US's own government as a villain in movies. Anything foreign is considred more threatening feeling to people because its less familiar. Films play into this common pssychological aspect people exhibit.


I feel nothing about Muslims as a whole, it depends on the individual or specific types of Muslims. I certainly am disgusted by extremist muslims and they make up a large percentage of Muslims. Please note that to be an extremist one does not have to be a terrorist, only having extreme beliefs.

Disliking Islamic terrorism or disliking Islam is not the same as disliking Muslims as a whole.

I don't think it's like asking that at all. People have a general dislike towards muslims

I've always had a general dislike toward the Christians and Catholics because of all the molestation in the church scandals, but as I grew up I realized how retarded that was. I don't belong to a religion at all so I see people as people. It's easier to distrust a whole group of people rather than understanding that everyone is responsible for their own actions. I used to blame Chris/Caths for why I couldn't come out of the closet, why people were dumb blah blah blah. Same way people blame all muslims for terrorism, child marriage, ect. But again, people need to realize that everyone is an individual. Like in Friar Lawrence said in Romeo and Juliet, "Two such opposèd kings encamp them still, In man as well as herbs—grace and rude will." So basically there's bad people no matter where they fall in the religious spectrum. But then again there's pretty rad people too.
