Evil has no birthplace, it has always existed in all people. Evil was there long before ‘The West’ or ‘Middle East’ were things. Religions don’t cause evil or intolerance, but some religions can be easily used to justify stoning gay people to death, or killing women for daring to be independant. If the bible didn’t command that gay people be murdered, or if Islam didn’t command that apostates be slain, it would be much harder to justify these evil acts. This isn’t a problem of religion, it’s a problem of cultures that take their religion too seriously.
But the reason is Western Colonization. The Middle East was one of the most progressive places in the world. Islam is still the most tolerant religion. Things like homophobia and antisemitism are injected by the west. The west IS the ROOT CAUSE of all evil in the world. I refuse to accept otherwise. Fuck the west, fuck USA and Europe.

This proves that you’re a complete moron.

Getting citizenship, executed or persecuted for being lgbtq+ is no progressive in anyway

Come on now, homophobia was baked into the abrahamic religions long before Jesus was born.

Either you’re trolling, or have never studied history of Islam, it’s birth and spread. Or were taught those by your local priest.

Don’t bother, its going to be a wasted breathe.
This is clearly either a troll, a kid or just an ignorant fuck that can’t be bothered to do the most basic readings of history.

Go fuck yourself guys. I’m done by the western colonialism apologists. I think you were touched by your priest as a kid.

Great discourse, you sure have shown that you have a complete understanding of what you’re saying with that comment.
How are you going to blame the west when Islam and Middle Eastern religions have been around FAR longer than any country in the west has existed. They’ve always had extreme positions and practices in comparison to what we deem socially acceptable now.

Why are you even here? Go to WorldJews on Reddit to defend your christo fascism.

I wonder if you know that both Christianity and Islam are just splinter sects of Judaism? And if you’re against Judaism, or think it’s evil or smthing, you should consider being against its spin-offs.
