fucking thank you
Ouff, the downvotes ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°).
One day, it’s gonna be you, or your brother, or neighbor, or child, or mom, or friend, or colleague, or cashier.
Keep on bowing down, it will end up well, just like last time, am i right?
"political post"… I didn’t need to read the article to know he was speaking out for Palestine.
I wouldn’t be surprised if an organization like Canary Mission has been lobbying the German government to push these kinds of attacks.
Isn’t it weird that all these individuals are coming in droves to the comments to cast doubts on the veracity of an article from reputable journal? Almost feels like a coordinated effort.
History also tried to kill people like me, yet I’m not engaging in a genocide to steal land and create a quasi-state resembling every aspect of the countries that tried to eradicate people like me.
Funny how people with similar experiences can be so far away in terms of values.
I see your point but simply put:
I believe there are both tolerant and intolerant religious people, just as there are tolerant and intolerant atheists.
Thus, if we want to tackle or end intolerance, focusing solely on religion is ineffective and won’t solve the problem, as religion is not the root cause of intolerance.
Rather, it’s the excuse used by the egos of hateful individuals to justify their irrational hatred. If religions were removed, people would simply find new ideologies or beliefs to hide behind.
What should be done is improving education, encouraging self introspection as well as being oneself, demonstrating that being empathetic is not a weakness and that we are all stuck on the same small rock in the middle of a seemingly endless void which is kind of weird.
Why not? it does not infringe on anyone.
However, recognize the irony in claiming that all religions dehumanize outsiders, right before labeling religious people as subhuman. (The tolerance paradox does not work in this case)
I hear your opinion but it’s not accurate and can lead to dangerous roads.
You must try to understand that the majority of the world has been exposed to incommensurable pain and suffering. From an anthropological perspective, it is rational and logical for the brain to protect itself by creating beliefs. Through social and cultural processes, these beliefs become embedded in societies.
Claiming that this is a subhuman trait is disingenuous because it is in human nature to seek explanations for what we observe in our environment. We are wired that way.
These actions should only be evaluated through the lens of this principle: "The freedom of one ends where the freedom of another begins."
There are religious people who are kinder than atheists, and atheists who are more evil than religious people. Today, religion may be used as a political tool for authoritarian regimes, but tomorrow it could be something else.
Eradicating religion would not solve anything.

Probably the same way they rationalize the millions they annihilated across the Middle-east, by framing it as a necessary evil to maintain global stability or fight "terrorism".
All while being manipulated by the like of israel and russia. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
