    This is not even a joke. It wasn’t funny or even bad the first time it was used and definitely not the one million times since.

    It’s akin to a 5 year old holding a piece of shit under another 5 year old’s nose to make them react: the other shrugs it off and you only end up smelling like shit yourself.

    I find direct offensive bigots really interesting, they clearly have problems in their life, and their response to these problems is to create MORE problems.

    I have enough problems in my life to try and actively stir up more of them.

        I thought we covered this after 9/11.

        It is racist because the vast majority of Muslims are South Asian and Middle Eastern.

        The first hate murder commited in NYC was against a Sikh man because to these folk brown = Muslim.

        Most of these people think Muslim is a race of people with more melanin than them.

          Ask a racist to tell you what a Muslim looks like. If they describe a person they’ve attached it to race. If they answer that it is a religion and not a race congrats you found the world’s smartest racist

          Human races don’t exist and are a concept made up by racists to justify their discrimination.

          I fucking hate this “x is not a race” argument so much for that reason. Nothing is a race.

      In America eating meat is seen as masculine and the women there actually have offspring with men that see the world this way. Some even see it this way themselves. Cringe-nation.

        Ugh, I hate the carnivore diet folks because I have a really good friend that did it and actually lost a bunch of weight and got back to being much more healthy and spry. How do you gently bring up the long term crap that it can do without sounding like an ass as your friend gets happier and happier? Luckily he reintroduced vegetables at two months in, but I know of some idiots who don’t.

          So many of these diets boil down to cutting calories by cutting high calorie foods like carbs (especially sugars) and fats.

          Calorie counting is the only tool needed to lose weight.

          I’ve been skinny, muscular, and chubby all on a typical diet and again on a vegan diet.

    I literally believe an innocent, defenseless, sentient creature was systematicallty and needlessly tortured and murdered to make this and that my tax dollars paid to subsidize it. If this isn’t triggering to me, I can’t even imagine how fucking stupid this looks to Muslims who think God forbids it. Like should someone fire back a video of themselves disregarding the Sabbath and expect Christians to care?

    And isn’t pork haram predominantly because it was considered by people like Muhammad to be impure? So this sounds more like someone sending them a video of scraping gum off the underside of a desk and chewing it. You sure owned them.

      Truthfully it probably doesn’t matter to them that much. They are told not to eat pork because it is unclean. Why care if someone else does it? It’s not like it’s a sacred animal they were commanded not to eat. I think that’s a big difference

      It was probably considered impure because pigs have a big parasite issue before industrialization and improper cooking often led to people getting sick or dying.

      A lot of religious “rules” can typically be boiled down to trying to keep people alive by making sure they avoid potential dangerous things, increasing their hygiene, or just making life easier and reducing hardships.

      It’s almost like people in charge realized that it would be easier to get people to do things if it meant going to heaven and avoiding hell instead of jail or something.

        The stated reason is because pigs are considered unclean because they’ll live in conditions we consider dirty, and will eat things we consider unclean.

        It can be very tempting to look at ways that modern beliefs and practices overlap with historical ones and find ways that make them “make sense” from a modern perspective. This can make it harder to understand what people actually believed, or see the framework they were using, pushing the “oddness” somewhere else, like a bubble under a piece of plastic.

        For parasites, we think of pork as carriers of parasites in the modern world because our supply chain has eliminated them from other commonly eaten meats.
        This lines up with 2/3 of abrahamic religions having a prohibition against pork: they must have gotten the right answer for the wrong reason.
        Except in the times those religions were developed pigs weren’t greater vectors than other animals.
        There were also other contemporaneous cultures that didn’t have that prohibition despite very similar circumstances. If it were a food safety issue we would expect to see other cultures have the same prohibition. Similar problems have similar solutions after all.

        I went to school with a muslim and that was the first time i heard that they don’t eat pork. When i asked why, he said because they lived on the bottom of the ark and ate the shit of other animals. I love pigs and don’t care why people don’t eat them, i’m just happy they don’t

        The Quran does not specify the reason for the prohibition and this is the common theory. Other theories i have heard, but not from scholars, revolve around pigs being particularly social and empathetic animals. Although the same can be said for grazing animals and many hunted animals that are considered halal.

          He shall kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot. Then he is to take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn and the live bird, dip them into the blood of the dead bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times. He shall purify the house with the bird’s blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop and the scarlet yarn. Then he is to release the live bird in the open fields outside the town. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.”

        I mean Muslims shouldn’t eat pork, or use products derived from killing pigs for that matter, unless health or life are at risk. This sometimes becomes an issue if material derived from pigs is used in medical products, where it might become necessary to consume it nonetheless if no halal alternative is available

        However being around pork is not an issue and when it comes to things like a shared BBQ good practice would be to grill the halal food before the other food, or use different roasts.

      Depends on time, place and everything else really. Muslim cultures for the most part don’t have the concept of bacon, and there are alternatives other than turkey bacon for the ones that do, but turkey bacon is one alternative yes.
