RANT regarding my memes about Islam

I don’t care how many downvotes this post gets because every time I post something about Islam, I get people commenting and reporting the same dumb shit. For example, on my previous post were the meme said that “Islam is not the religion of peace”. We had a user report that meme for being hate speech. Really, have you guys even read the Quran. There are literally tons of verses about killing people for not believing in the faith. In fact, these verses are the reason why we get terrorist groups like ISIS an Al-Qaeda. We also had another user report a similar post for being racist despite the fact that it has nothing to do with race. I understand that most Muslims are warm loving people but that is not an excuse to not call out religion for what it actually is. What I find even more funny is that I posted one of the same memes on r/EXMUSLIMMEMES and r/atheistmemes over at reddit as well as s/atheistmemes over at Squabblr and people seemed to have no issues. I am honestly convinced that the people in this instance are dumber than the people on reddit and that’s really saying something. Also, one final note. If you are a Muslim, and you don’t do any of the shit described in my memes (well actually these are not my memes they are just memes I stole from other people) I am not talking about you. I am talking about those who use religion to justify immoral acts. So don’t be offended if you are not an offender.

@Lanky_Pomegranate530, I appreciate and enjoy what you’ve been posting here no matter whose invisible friend is being criticized. If you want the extra spaces to break up paragraphs, hit enter again so there’s a completely empty line in between.

Lanky_Pomegranate530,

Wow. Thanks for the advice.

Nerdic,

I agree there are quite a few apologists for Islam and Judaism in this community that have zero problem criticizing Christianity. You are merely trying to be consistent and I applaud you for that.

Lanky_Pomegranate530,

Thank you

Godric,

    Frankly I find you and all of your posts to be fucking annoying whether they’re about Muslims, Christians, or whomever else. The fact that you’re a power-user of this board in addition to being a mod and you’re stickying your own post to defend garbage-tier memes you rip straight from Facebook and reddit circa 2009 just makes me think it isn’t worth it to have this board show up in my feed at all.

    Stickying a post, as a mod, to defend your own posts from criticism, is not a great look.

    Neither of those two memes you just linked to are about religion or criticising the Islamic religion, they’re both unoriginal, tired takes on trying to equate muslims with terrorism.

    Do you post memes about violent attacks by christians? Or Judaists? Or Hindus? Or Bhuddists? Or is it just the Muslims you save that for?

    For a religion of peace, their prophet sure owned a lot of weapons..

    Lanky_Pomegranate530,

    Yeah. It is actually kind of laughable how many weapons he has.
