GOP legislator prays to Jesus for forgiveness before state’s first Muslim woman swears in – Some of her colleagues are calling it an offensive, divisive and Islamophobic display immediately before the Pennsylvania House swore in its first Muslim woman

Apparently, Avi's accusing Jim and the production crew for the fake news story in Jim's segment:

https://boundingintocomics.com/2019/03/27/avi-yemini-announces-he-plans-to-confront-jim-jefferies-and-comedy-central-in-the-united-states/

And he's been invited to head to America after being banned from mos social media stuff.

According to him, he was able to plant a hidden camera to record Jim's full interview/conversation as proof that Jim manipulated his interview to make it look like Avi's anti-Islam.

It's in YT by now on Avi's personal channel. I don't know if you can keep an open mind, but Australia media's picking up on the news.

I did think that interview seemed unusually aggressive, and that there was more material that didn't make it in. However, what he said in there was bad enough on its own, regardless of it's "intended" context.

And he's going to morons like Rubin and Crowder to defend himself. So fuck him.

(Also that site looks like it's infused with a bunch of reactionary trash).

The ideal solution to such dilemmas is making sure you make it clear to people who would use legitimate criticism of a group as a means to indulge in bigotry towards them (or a member thereof) that they're not welcome, you can distinguish the two and they will be shut down.

I think it is always important to make distinctions between criticizing a religion or making bigotted judgements about all members of said religion.

I for one am an atheist and I think that, all in all, humanity would be better off without the concept of religion as a whole. But I don't go around and try to diminish people (be it muslims, christians, buddhists or whatever else) because of it.

They did reply to me via PM saying it was a response to posts read as they went through the thread. Didn't say which ones and I probably wouldn't even if they did since it was a PM.

[up]And suddenly I recall reading a Cracked article in which a survivor of the genocides discussed what it was like when your own neighbors tried to murder you and people like you.

Your Neighbors Try To Murder You: 6 Realities In A Genocide

The last point of the article is perhaps the most disheartening:

  • Genocide Works

The killers primarily targeted adult men. Most women survived ... and were raped repeatedly by Serbian soldiers, the idea being that they'd then give birth to more Serbian kids. Between the death camps and the rape, most of the Muslim population in Bosnia was scattered to the wind and wound up living in other parts of Europe. The war criminals who wanted to turn Sudbin's chunk of Bosnia into a Serbian, Christian-dominated region succeeded. Even if the dead of Omarska get a monument someday, even if people "never forget" what happened in Bosnia, the Bosniak Muslims who survived still lost their homeland.

A study done by RSIS regarding Singaporean Muslims and their skepticism towards state institutes.

Singaporean Muslims have always lived in a secular state and participated fully in its institutions even though they are sceptical towards the reconcilability of secularism with Islam. A study is being undertaken to ascertain if the embracement of the secular state ideology bears out of pragmatism rather than Islamic beliefs. Thirty-seven asatizah (Islamic preachers and prayer leaders) who are traditionally the socio-religious influencers of religious life, were interviewed as part of the study. This paper captures their thoughts of secularism as a philosophy, their religious perspectives of living in a secular state, and their justification to suspend the application of Shariah laws.
