I technically agree, at least in the sense that religions should not be owed any respect by default, even though we should do our best to respect the people who practice them. I also have a lot of problem with mainstream religions and how they are often practiced.

But I think religion isn't always, or even usually, simply about someone's idea. It's also a culture. Now, I don't think bad elements of culture should automatically be respected or tolerated either, but it's just important to note that religion is often much deeper than simply the actual beliefs. And because of that, it is often unkind to throw out any possibility of sensitivity or empathy. Bad beliefs don't have to be "respected" but I think there's a line of common courtesy.

Just to clarify, I'm not going around shouting at people "YOU"RE A MORON FOR HAVING A RELIGION! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? REPENT!"

I made this confession because I was called a racist for saying I don't respect Islam. But I don't respect any religions. At all.

It was related to Charlie Hebdo. I said that Muslims have the right to be upset about the disrespect towards their religion. But people have the right to ridicule it as well.

Apparently, saying that is "racism" -- which I think is a pile of horseshit.

Okay this is a case where you're getting incorrectly profiled based on the fact that a huge number of the people who want to be specifically critical of Islam are pretty much racists

Which is so funny to me because I'm Arab. As in, my dad literally immigrated to the West from the Middle-East.

Just makes me so frustrated.

Like, no, someone printing a mean picture about Mohammed isn't equivalent to the shit my family went through.

This is not a hostile comment, more just a remark, but are you also the poster who has posted about being an Arab dealing with SJ stuff in the past and who got into a slapfight with Chard once (IIRC)

because if so, at this point, it might be worth it to just get a sock

Don't remember talking to Chard in particular. If you've got a link I can look at it.

Don't really see the point to sock, tbh.
