Look, we get it. It's scary, being a sad little bigot in a world where people can just google shit and realise what a deluded moron you are. It must be hard!
But, like, can you just go back to Reddit and leave the rest of us alone? Thanks ♥

They haven't come for your LGBTQ schoolbooks yet, eh?

Give it time.

NAYRT—Where the hell do you live that you have LGBT schoolbooks? I had white fundamentalist Christians objecting to fart jokes because farts are disgusting, and fundamentalist Christian coworkers who refuse to read Harry Potter because it’s Satanic, and I work at a public library, but somehow Muslims are worse? Fuck off.

You're so USA-centric it's painful. Plenty of countries have LGBT schoolbooks and yes, Muslim communities have opposed LGBT-inclusive sex ed and lead campaigns to get them banned from school. This happened in the UK in Birmingham just last year.

AYRT—has it ever occurred to you that you are also basing your anti-Muslim whinging on info that’s local to you? Because my point was not that Muslims cannot be anti-LGBT bigots, but that singling out Muslims as uniquely shitty as regards liberal worldviews. Some Muslims are bigots, but not all, and they aren’t as a group inherently more (or less) regressive than Christians. Lots of people just use anti-Muslim rhetoric as a very flimsy cover for straight up racism.

The teachings of Islam are fundamentally oppositional to Western liberal ideals.

I mean, this is just true.

Also true: The teaching of Christianity are fundamentally oppositional to Western liberal ideals.

Also true: Not all people who call themselves Christians or Muslims uphold the aspects of their religious teachings that are fundamentally oppositional to Western liberal ideals.

Also true: Western liberal ideals are not without flaws of their own.

I strongly disagree with this post, because I don't think it's fundamentally possible to identify the singular correct teachings of Christianity or Islam (with the exception of people who belong to a specific Christian or Islamic sect). Rather, there are a wide range of different interpretations of the religious teachings of Christianity and Islam. Some of these interpretations align with Western liberal values, and others don't.

How can anyone determine which set of interpretations of a revealed religion are correct? What standard can one apply? The only consistent standard that could justify a particular interpretation of a revealed religion is religious faith. Unless you have religious faith in a particular interpretation of Christianity or Islam, I don't see how you can possibly conclude that one version of those religions is correct - how you can possibly say, for example, that Catholicism is a correct interpretation of Christianity and Methodism isn't. Any possible source of authority - for instance, adherence to scripture - ultimately relies on interpretation and is therefore ultimately grounded again in faith. Ultimately, any religious person can say that their particular interpretation is justified by revelation, and that's a justification that can only be argued on religious grounds.
