American Muslims Pretty Darn Tolerant of Homosexuality

And so were the European Muslims before they became >1% of the population.
Look how that turned out...

But of course that doesn't fit in a sound bite, so scum like Geert Wilders keep using naked racism like "Their culture isn't as progressive as ours, therefore they're all cartoonishly medieval scum!" or whatever other hysterical xenophobia that buffoon likes to trot out. Hopefully that'll change soon, though.
I've found that, like Trump, Wilders is impossible to strawman because whatever I say to parody him he'll say something even crazier soon.Darth Wedgius wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 7:49 pmYou have a tendency to resort to straw men pretty early on.Worffan101 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 6:54 pm Yeah, surprising thing about people, they don't conform to stereotypes.

That is encouraging, and what is more encouraging is that these are frequently more recent immigrants. I wonder what the difference on this between American muslims and, say, British muslims comes from. Muslims coming to pretty similar countries are having very different views on the tolerance of homosexuality.
If this is parody and not really meant to be taken seriously, never mind,Worffan101 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 8:12 pmI've found that, like Trump, Wilders is impossible to strawman because whatever I say to parody him he'll say something even crazier soon.Darth Wedgius wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 7:49 pmYou have a tendency to resort to straw men pretty early on.Worffan101 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 6:54 pm Yeah, surprising thing about people, they don't conform to stereotypes.

Hey, Geert Wilders is Dutch. Those articals are Muslims in the US.Worffan101 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 6:54 pm Yeah, surprising thing about people, they don't conform to stereotypes.

I don't have time to search actual Geert Wilders quotes, but I think I paraphrased his rhetoric pretty well there.Darth Wedgius wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 8:18 pmIf this is parody and not really meant to be taken seriously, never mind,Worffan101 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 8:12 pmI've found that, like Trump, Wilders is impossible to strawman because whatever I say to parody him he'll say something even crazier soon.Darth Wedgius wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 7:49 pmYou have a tendency to resort to straw men pretty early on.Worffan101 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 6:54 pm Yeah, surprising thing about people, they don't conform to stereotypes.

Every bleeding heart liberal European judge that let's a Muslim immigrant get away with rape because "they don't know any better" or "that's the culture they were raised in" reinforces the concept of cultural determinism.Worffan101 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 11:22 pm I don't have time to search actual Geert Wilders quotes, but I think I paraphrased his rhetoric pretty well there.
He's a big fan of cultural imperialism and cultural determinism, much like Trump and the "protagonist" of Star Trek: Discovershit (no, I have neither forgiven nor forgotten that time that MIchael Burnham said that the Klingons "only understand violence" as if she were some alt-right crazy person ranting about "the Muslims" and advocating for nuking Iran on the Internet).
