One thing I love about banished from the hero’s party (season 1) is the duality of the perspectives. Cause you have Gideon, now Red, living his best life and doing things for himself for once. And then you have the hero’s party where he’s haunting the entirety of their narrative.

It’s great. I love characters who haunt the narrative even though they’re still alive.

I’m sad at the lack of fics for banished from the heroes party. It’s such an enjoyable anime for me and there’s practically nothing!!! I’m not in the place to write any myself right now.

I agree with your answer. Also, the fact that Islam bills itself as a religion of peace is a joke. A holy book that contains this verse: "Mohammed is God's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another" - (Quran 48:29) is anything but peaceful. It's a religion that forbids homosexuality, while at the same time telling us God created everything the way it is. It deserves as much ridicule as Christianity, if not more. Keep up the good work!

The Quran is a book of peace...AND a book of war.  There are peaceful Islamic sects just as there are warlike Christian sects, and each can point at their holy books to as the source of their beliefs.  The Quran is contradictory in its teachings just as the Bible is.  As such, it is impossible to follow either of them with absolute consistency.

Thank you.  Peace, and have a wonderful day of not killing people and stuff.  :)

I speak as somebody who grew up in a Muslim family, and I have to say that there isn't enough criticism of Islam from atheists. I'm an atheist now and do my best, but it feels like a losing battle. I sometimes dislike calling myself a liberal, considering we are so tolerant of Islam, but belittle anything to do with Christianity. The word Islamophobia is meaningless and is levelled at anybody who dares to question the faith. They've done a good job of making themselves immune to criticism :(

I, personally, am doing my best as well.  Again, I'm not for criticizing people so much as beliefs.  But unlike Christianity, I don't get the proselytizing of the Islam in my face daily.  I suspect I know more about the Koran than most of my peers, but I still don't know enough to come out of the blue and say that this or that belief is just silly like I can with the Bible.

I don't see it's as really being possible to have "phobia" against a faith.  Bigotry against people of Arabic decent, yes.  Am I a "Chirstianophobe" because I cringe whenever I here someone using the Bible as justification for something?  There are some who would no doubt say so.  I don't buy into their lack of reasoning here, however.

Still, when a belief...ANY belief, calls for discrimination or enforced ignorance on any grounds, I feel it is our moral duty to speak out against it.

City fans are idiots. Bilbao deserved to win, they gave Utd a lesson in football. The way they kept pressing for 90 minutes, and their build-up play was amazing to watch. They deserve to be in the Champions League.

I saw parts of the match and they played so well. I just feel bad for all my United friends :/

AVB didn't actually say that, did he? Even though it's obvious Gerrard is better, I doubt Andre'd say that about his own player :/

I have no idea, but it's pretty damn harsh if he did. There's so many fake quotes on tumblr, hard to tell if it's real unless there's a source.
