    They think it works that way because that’s the way it works for them.

    Show them a picture of Mecca and they freak right the fuck out.

    This isn’t racism. Religious bigotry for sure but racism doesn’t apply when there are people of all races that are muslim.

      I think the point is that this trash thinks it’s racism even though it’s not. They want it to be racism because fuck brown people.

    People seem to forget that Muslims are allowed to touch pork products, they’re just not allowed to pray after touching them unless they ritualistically purify themselves by washing their hands, mouth, nose, face, forearms, head, ears and feet (the order is different as well as what parts you wash in different schools of thought).

    Doing all that is a bit of a kerfuffle so a good number of Muslims just choose to avoid touching anything that could invalidate their purity, but the worst that can happen is they have to wash themselves again before they pray.

    Obviously they’re not allowed to eat it, but it’s nowhere near as bad as racists would have you think where even being in the presence of pork products is enough to make Muslims melt into the floor like the wicked witch.

      Not to be that guy, but the ablution process is mandatory regardless of what you’ve touched. Unless you’ve touched some najis stuff then you gotta clean it first before doing ablution.

    It’s projection. If you showed them a rainbow or a Day of the Dead decoration, they’d get super offended and bent out of shape. And because that’s how they react to things they don’t like, they assume that’s how everyone else reacts, too.

    guy puts templar cross in his profile, likely first to die of disease and exhaustion if he actually participated in middle age crusades

    I love how they automatically assume they would be high ranking knights drinking wine in the tent whereas they would likely be the cannon fodder.

      Peasants didn’t really fight in the crusades, it was mostly noble families throwing second and third sons along with mercenary forces. Chances are they would live and die in a village they weren’t likely to leave often if ever. Ie. They wouldn’t even have been important enough to fight and die for God let alone read.

      I can see how it happens - multiple generations of people having kids young and accruing poor or no education and then wah-lah

    I’m remembering a paragraph of one of the Witcher books where a vampire is at a fancy ball at a royal court and while eating a garlic soup with his silver spoon he was explaining in great detail to a patron seated near him that vampires are deathly afraid of silver and the slightest touch of silver will immediately kill them

    same fuckers that loose their shit when I tell them I prefer dog bacon but I’m also kinda sick of it because I just got back from visiting family in china and my family doesn’t cook much of the more well known dishes. we just eat wild/kennel dog and wild salad.

    then I ask them why they let heir government officials shoot dogs for misbehaving when they haven’t even been trained

      But it’s something racists do. You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

      Dude, I fucking love halal food. It’s so goddamn good.

      Usually getting gyros, gyro platters, falafel, etc., but I recently tried a halal burger place and it was the best cheeseburger I’ve ever had at a restaurant. No bacon on it though, I don’t think.

      Ok, now I’m on a mission to try this. I don’t know how I’ve never heard of this before. I live in a large city and I often eat at places that are halal but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it.

        It’s absolutely delicious. One of the halal places near me has it and it’s so good on a burger with sauteed mushrooms and cheddar.
