A video posted by the independent newswire agency Freedomnews captured the moment one suspect passed the device to another shortly before an arrest was made outside the mansion. According to police, the recovered device…

An Islamophobic user, and a fun fact

a user, secular-jew, made a post

(There was a photo I skipped).

Which is just insanely Islamophobic and also flat out wrong as a generalization of 1.9 billion people and also I'm very uncomfortable with effectively forcibly converting people ("should be outlawed across the globe"), as I mentioned in my reply (screenshotted because I don't trust this not to be deleted, there was also a prefaced note on how yes, Islam does have its problems and that needs to be spoken about more, especially on the left):

And then they add a comment reading in part:

Never mind that Islamophobia is literally defined as an irrational or excessive fear.

Or that with 5 deadly attacks per day and ~1.8 billion Muslims, assuming even 5 attackers per attack, works out to ~1 attack per 72,000,000 Muslims. For reference, estimates I could find [https://everytownresearch.org/report/gun-violence-in-america/] suggest between 4 and 5 gun homicides per 100k Americans, so assuming even generously all of those are done by one person, i.e., one homicide perpetrator per 100k people in the US, you are 720 times more justified saying this about a random American than about a random Muslim. And this is taking a self described Islamophobe at their word about the number of attacks!

PS: If you know of some sort of Islamophobia-cataloging Tumblr blog or something, please tell me, because I don't. A central database of Islamophobic tumblr bloggers? Is that a thing?

We need legislations specific for those who act Islamophobic acts or do deeds of the sort.

I saw a post on the feminism subreddit today saying hijab is anti feminist. I was surprised to see how many agreed with this statement and all the support the poster got in the comments, which included really hurtful things said towards my hijabi sisters

I thought being a feminist meant we support women's choices about their bodies? So if someone wants to cover their body, why is that a problem?

The poster goes on to say it's anti feminist, backward and oppressive. I am so fucking sick and tired of women having to justify wearing the hijab as well as not wearing it. And I won't lie, a feminist sub is the last place I thought I'd find people arguing about whether hijab should be worn or not

There are women out there who are being forced into it and some who aren't being allowed to wear it. It all comes down to women having lost their freedom of choice and rights in the matter and that makes me angry. That should make these so called feminists angry, not seeing someone in hijab

Yes, some women in the comments actually said seeing a woman in hijab makes them angry. Like that isn't because it's going against your feminist beliefs, it's just because you're Islamophobic.

Anyway I made a comment about it and it got deleted, then when I tried to make a post instead, I got banned from the subreddit lmao so much for women supporting women

But to all my ladies who support each other no matter what, and have each other's backs, I see y'all, and I have so much love for y'all

Also for people who say you cant be a hijabi and a feminist, fuck them. You do you sis
