Mildly Infuriating

So we should display religious things of only the original occupiers of the land? I don't think she's going to be happy with the conclusion there.

Muslims have a long and proud history of serving this country with honor and distinction for centuries.

My mom once asked if my Jewish girlfriend celebrated Thanksgiving. When I scoffed, she reminded me that there weren't any Jews on the Mayflower.

I reminded her that there weren't any Catholics either.

There's no hate like christian love

The world is full of idiots. Save your sanity and ignore them.

Christians fought for the land? You are talking about the genocide of native Americans? The same ones that owned slaves?... Yeah ok, I understand why YOU like them so much now...

Lots of folks in the US don’t really have an understanding of religion as a separate thing from nationality.

They think of “being Christian” as “being like the other white people in my neighborhood growing up”. End of thought.

So drinking beer, watching football, and hating taxes are all “Christian things” to them.

So when they say “Christians — and only Christians — died for this country”, they’re 100% correct, according to their understanding of “being a Christian”. Cuz to them it basically just means “being an American”.

There’s really no way to convince them otherwise. It’s like telling someone that Velcro is really called “hook and loop”.

Wrong... A simple google search shows that Muslims did indeed fight in the US revolutionary war along side other colonists

"If Muslims don't like it, they should return to their native countries!" I cry, as I rubber stamp another billion dollar check to bomb the Levant.

Are we talking about the Christians who very explicitly opposed the concept of a religious state? The ones who put that concept front and center in their Bill of Rights?

I give this ragebait a 6/10. Could be worse, could be better.

The Founders of this nation explicitly included Islam in their vision of the future of the republic. Freedom of religion, as they conceived it, encompassed it. Adherents of the faith were, with some exceptions, regarded as men and women who would make law-abiding, productive citizens. Far from fearing Islam, the Founders would have incorporated it into the fabric of American life.

"If God truly does exist, he more so loves the atheist who questions the world around him than the Christian who blindly follows."

Thomas Jefferson

50% of the Founding Fathers were agnostic or atheist. My question is: why does she hate America?

God, fucking Christians. We need a slur for them or something so badly. I'm so sick of them.

"Nyeah nyeah, my god is better than yours" - some cunt failing to realize they worship the same god

"Christians" also stole this land and genocided people who had lived here since long before they came. Those who don't like this should return to where their forefathers came from, no?

I have met Muslims who fight for America. Let's see her military service that she's so proud of

All social media is overrun by troll factories with the purpose of sowing discord. I just assume all such accounts are "bots" (although often human-run).

(Yes, some try to sign up also to Mastodon et.al. - but are usually spotted)

People don't read. Paraphrasing:

• Jesus (J): "Why would you call me 'good'? Only the Father is good."

• Muhammed (M): "Our Lord has decreed mercy upon Himself, so to anyone who commits sin out of ignorance and then repents and amends, He is Forgiving, Merciful."

• J: "It's easier* for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than it is for a rich man to enter Heaven."

• M: "Those who hoard gold and silver and don't spend it in the cause of God, give them news of a painful retribution."

• J: "You have been told 'do not murder, for whoever murders will be judged for it', but I tell you anyone who is angry and insults their brother will be judged for it too."

• M: "The righteous are those who suppress their anger and pardon the people. God loves the good doers."

TIL that nobody in the US military that has died has never ever been Muslim.

Jesus would hate his followers. They have zero understanding of the message. But that's ok, cause he wasn't the Messiah, nor was he a historical figure, so nothing lost there.

I just don't want their pedophile religion forced on me and my kids. Full stop.

I'm pretty sure there have been plenty of Jews, Muslims, Atheists, and others that have bled for the US too.

indigenous people did, are you ok to show their spirituality in schools? I am sure there will be mass conversions lol

~20% of the slaves brought to America were Muslim. Several fought during the Revolutionary War including Bampett Muhamed, Yusuf ben Ali (also known as Joseph Benhaley), and Joseph Saba: https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stories/african-muslims-early-america
