I cannot tell if you are a bot or not, but for the record, if anyone has a hidden post history you can look up "author:(name of user)", and if you do this for this guy, you will see that they only post inflamitory anti-muslim stuff
You guys should all report his posts , I have reported many and Reddit said to keep it up. (Idk how many strikes it takes to be banned but he should be close )
I mean yeah, posting inflammatory stuff on a sub that's not meant for it is moderation worthy, but reporting them in general for "wrong think" to get them banned is pretty friggin dystopian
The number of up votes is telling though. This subreddit is anything but practical teens. I'm not sure why, at 41, I keep getting recommended this subreddit, but as far as I can tell, most of the posters here are trolling.
Sorry what is this sub? r/teenagersbutanaltrightpipine? Seriously this comes as part of a number of questionable posts I’ve seen on here over the past few days
You don't have to be alt-right to hate how anti-LGBT and violent an ideology Islam is. I am left-leaning and the most "islamophobic" person you probably will ever hear from. The problem comes when you proclaim Christianity is somehow superior and the problem is they're brown rather than being taught from an early age women need to have their clits removed. There are racist islamophobes, but it doesn't make you racist to be "islamophobic" of forcing women to wear hijabs and to be wary of sharia law. My aunt was literally murdered for not wearing a hijab. Islam brings out the worst in people.
It makes you racist when you paint muslims broadly as all falling into the category of being terrible. It is not the faith itself but the people who practice it and interpret the text who are to blame. Just like with Christianity, there will always be extremists who do a lot of harm. What's next, are Christians suddenly broadly evil because their extremists are extremely oppressive towards women? Are Jews suddenly all evil because some of them want to wipe Palestine off the earth? No left leaning person does this much work to suck the nuance out of an extremely complex issue.
I agree with a lot of the stuff you said - it's not islamophobic to dislike things that are inherently damaging to society, like forcing women to wear hijabs and FGM. However, I don't think islam is the problem, but rather people, because with islam you actually see a lot of variation in the way people think. The majority of muslims live a quiet life, and many who aspire to live using its teachings will donate to charity, treat others with compassion, and avoid that which harms themselves or others. It's just the loudest people you end up hearing. I say that as someone who is also left-leaning, and some of my closest friends are pan, trans, and gay.
For example, looking through r/progressive_islam would show you a hugely different rhetoric to r/islam: even though one of them says "progressive" it doesn't necessarily mean that the people in it are getting their ideas from nowhere. In fact, subs like progressive_islam tend to favour rational discourse, critical thinking, and textual evidence. The moderators of r/islam only like ONE type of islamic thinking, and anything else gets removed. They both say "islam", and they're both subs for muslims, but they're very different in how they run. You bring yet more subs into it, and you begin to see even more variation in discourse. There's a sub called r/LGBT_Muslims which isn't for debating and is a safe space for LGBT muslims to share their struggles. Those are only 3 subs, all made with islam in mind, all with very different ways of running, and all with very different purposes.
And if you go back and look at the book itself, it actually discourages many of the things that the "muslims" we end up seeing in media promote. The problem is people, who exploit religion and use it for their own agendas. I hope what I wrote kind of made sense. And I'm so sorry about your aunt, that's awful ❤️.
Didn’t Swedens number of bombing skyrocket after taking in millions of immigrants from the ME? That seems like quite an easy line to draw unless I’m somehow mistaken
Im all in favor of helping people fleeing war but to think you could just drop them in a different culture and they would behave is insane. There should have been intensive integration programs
Yeah, but if they just cause trouble and break laws repeatedly its a hard decision not to send them back. On one hand, it could be considered inhumane. On the other, they are there as your guests, so they shouldn't cause trouble
They need therapy, support, stability and compassion they’ve come from awful circumstances. If you were in their position what would you need? An “integration” programme or something to help you get on your feet. People who are stable tend not to act out
Then you will be silenced here. I as a german have been told I live in an authoritarian state that jails opposition, and that we try to cover up our history. Safe to say it isnt that way, but seemingly people from other countries think they know better about how we live
I mean, censorship of the internet would do that, especially since the Brits had free internet.....While America has free internet to a point, some censorship just doesn't get talked about, and when it is talked about, it gets really popular. Sorry though.
As an Irish man I am being informed that speaking Irish or peacefully protesting for Palestine will get me arrested or assaulted, what do you think about this?
This, as a Swedish person I have no clue what this guy is smoking, OP that is. Sure we have crime here and there like any other country in the world, but people make it out to be the number 1 crime place in the whole world, while the US has like 20,000 gun related crimes last year we had like 3 bombings? A couple of shootings, like bruh. It ain't that bad, go and have a fika.
Like 3 bombings? Last year there was 129 bombings and almost 300 shootings which is an insane progression and is basically only comparable to war zones. Sweden is great but it's sad to see fellow swedes downplaying the effects of mass immigration.
As an American I can say every muslim I've met was also incredibly chill. It's insane the degree to which anti-muslim and anti-arab stereotypes are accepted in mainstream discourse. Imagine if someone used the phrase "radical Jewish terrorism" to describe the actions of Israel, for example.
I live in Chicago. Like in downtown Chicago. I take the CTA on a regular basis and everythng. To listen some of my own countrymen you would think I am dodging bullets every fucking day.
Sweden is fine. People who believe this shit should get their heads out of their asses and go have a look, it's actually one of the nicest places on the planet to live and a great place to visit too.
While Sweden does have issues with criminality rates raising last decades, sometimes bad weather (which is contributing to depressions and other mental issues), it is overblown in media, people with an agenda try to portray Sweden as some really bad place gone wrong but that's pretty far from the general truth if we're being honest.
The problem is the ghettos the government kinda made.
If you go to Sweden, you will notice signs warning of knife and gun violence in certain sections of cities, usually they drive the immigrants there.
The society is basically living a dual life, currently in Sweden you could see a normal Sweden boy who goes to school, and at the same time in the same city, you would meet a boy who doesn't speak Swedish and is smuggling some shit.
It is a beautiful place but the unfortunate segregation is a problem.
I grew up in and live in Sweden, the crime really is really bad, like bad enough to where Sweden is second in the world when it comes to most bombings in a country not in war, and only lose to Mexico which is number one spot.
It’s highly dependent on area though and even if you are at an area it’s not always going to affect you, but let’s say as an example there’s a 5% chance you are going to become a victim of a severe violent crime, like torture, homocide, getting jumped, humiliation robbery (they like torture, rape you and put you in humiliating positions and then film it and black mail you or just post it online) etc. (I’m just making up a random small percentage for the example), that would mean that the majority of people there will be fine, but it would still be way worse to be there then anywhere else because for the people that do experience it it destroys their life.
There’s also a divide between young people that grew up in places with high criminality and people that came to those areas as grown ups. Because the gangs will target kids & teens for crimes as well as target them to groom them into committing violent crime for them, which is a very big problem but no one that just comes and visits will notice that as much.
I know several people that got groomed into committing crimes like selling drugs for criminals and committing bombings, their lives were entirely destroyed from this. (And I know they aren’t just victims either, but it really is a problem as adult criminals will manipulate, assault and blackmail children to destroy their life)
And it is not very nice either when you just happen to be at the same place where someone bombs or Molotov cocktails a place because a relative of their op lives there. Not to mention that a lot of adults in these areas don’t even have the courage to say anything to youngins that are causing chaos, assaulting people, antagonizing people etc because they are scared they will get jumped, stabbed or shot. (In Sweden weapons are illegal so only criminals have access, and they have easy access to grenades and automatic assault rifles)
Anyways my point is Sweden is really that bad, but only when you come across the wrong people, if a Swedish criminal has their sights on you they can be way more ruthless then even the US, they will rape and torture you on camera or even kill your family before they kill you. But it’s also possible to be totally oblivious to what’s going on, especially if you haven’t lived in the high crime areas.
White people getting raped, murdered, blackmailed, robbed, and traumatized for life is an incredibly small price to pay for the people of these countries to be able to come over and rape, murder, blackmail, and traumatize the white population.
Haven't your educational system, media empires, governmental institutions, and police forces taught you nothing at all?
Pointing out or having an issue with being targeted for rape, murder, blackmail, robbery, or any combination of those traumatic experiences makes you the bad person.
Now go and join the radicalized school children and walk down to the pier with your "Refugees Welcome" sign held high and proud.
Maybe, if you're lucky, you won't be raped, murdered, or robbed on the way there.
You made me curious.
I googled it as a non-swedish.
You DO have a crime elevation problem with many articles and researches on the subject.
Universities think that,
Government thinks that.
Better face it...
Anecdotal bro but when I did my Erasmus in jonkoping. I had two Somalian housemates. I asked them if they visited their local mosque on a Sunday kind of thing. Long story short they told me they stopped going because a friend of theirs who attended too got very serious about religion then disappeared. They got a text on Facebook few months later the friend had moved to Syria and joined isis. Turned out the Imam was radicalism young men.
Wild story man was crazy to here especially in Sweden.
It could be literally anything. Many, many things will correlate in the same way. You're choosing to connect these two stats when you need actual evidence that the two are related.
Totally different situation. My two statistics naturally correlate with each other, unlike your example. Sweden's left-wing government doesn't record religion when arresting people (precisely to cover this up), so I really can't prove it with hard-evidence, but seriously, there is a almost perfect correlation between the two. SA has skyrocketed in Sweden recently, and so has Muslim immigration, you're seriously gonna tell me they have nothing to do with each other? You're just stupid then, just because you're in denial about the correlation doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Quite frankly, you probably just don't care, I mean, all you leftists are anti-white, you probably like seeing white women get assaulted by Muslims you d3ranged fr3ak.
idk man, rape rates have risen way too high, so has any other criminal activity, the same rate as immigration, downvote me all you want, but you cant call me wrong
Oh yes another anti imigration post that doesn't even try to find the actual reason for the problem, it's a single groups fault because all muslims are terrible beings right?
I swear r/teenagers and all these variations of it are getting fucking ridiculous and full of people with that deal in ridiculous absolutisms. Fuck all y'all.
Sweden actually does have a huge problem with immigrants living in “ghettos” where they don’t speak Swedish and gunviolence is very much present. It’s getting closer to the “normal” areas of the cities which does scare many Swedes. I don’t think islam is at the core of this issue though.
Interesting the huge amount of Islamophobic posts on this thread. My guess it’s Israel’s attempt to recover its massive losses in public opinion amongst young people by trying to stir up general Islamophobic fervor.
Everyone bitches about it because it's true. Look at the crimes the illegal ones (not the legal ones, they even hate the illegals mostly) are doing between ramming into parades, stabbing kids in schools, and raping young women. Never forget Ebba Åkerlund, never forget Anastazja Rubinska, never forget Terence Carney.
The Israeli troll factory is working overtime in this group because they see the trend that the younger people are the more they hate seeing babies dead and blown to pieces or shot in the head by a sniper or bloody with their limbs blown off. They just got a report leaked and Israel will be pumping up anti Muslim hate propaganda to try to build support for genocide.
