Answer to Why donβt atheists have the guts to mock Islam? by Alif Ayman [quora.com]
Not me ,I will mock this Archaic homophobic woman and child abusing anti Semitic disgusting religion any time the opportunity arises.,and I have many times on this site
Same here
Islam is just as stupid as any other religion. I-slam the door on Islam.
That's cool.
I'm an atheist and I used to be a Muslim.
Islam is crap
Personally, I accept your authority on the topic!
Why mock anyone? I wouldn't mock Christians or Jewish people. My life is about my own existence and my beliefs are my own. I would never deliberately set out to hurt anyone
Well typed.
The criticism, including satire and mockery, of ideas should not be conflated with doing the same to those who hold the ideas. I was taught to 'hate the sin, not the sinner.' Now, I despise the belief, not the believer.
Islam is a death cult lorded over by a very few old men who are mostly pedophiles, anti feminist, homophobic, narrow minded, greedy, and power hungry!!!
Islam mocks itself like trump does by being βthe religion of peace!β!!!
All smoke and mirrors to take those who can not think for themselves and are too cowardly to admit it is all a shame to relieve them of their money and free will!!!
Just a another cult like Christianity who uses threat and the fear of death instead of love to join their followers together!!!
Sounds a lot like the present pandemic we are now captured under!!!
Mocking isn't nice... Courage isn't needed to mock, ignorance is...
As an atheist since age 13, I believe it is mean to mock religions.
However, a bumper sticker on my car says:
Keep Your Theology
Off My Biology
In my 20s, I wore a NARAL (National Abortion Rights League) button:
Keep Your Rosaries
Off My Ovaries
The fight against religious zealots continues. Vote BLUE.
It was quite windy here yesterday and I thought for few moments I saw the Islamic version of the 'Flying Nun' passover my house but after looking twice I realised it was not some poor unfortunate Islamic woman draped in the usual, dull, drab full-length garb but instead it was just a stray black, plastic garbage bag doing a very good impersonation of one.
Any and every thing that is said about ANY religion applies to Islam equally as well.
Exactly - since Islam has few offshoots of other much more ancient religions.
@TimeOutForMe I don't see anyone mocking the faith of the Hindu.
@WonderWartHog99 I suppose because they're not in your face and not violent if you speak bad about it or even if you leave the religion for that matter.
@TimeOutForMe They bug me to feed Ganesh a bag of peanuts.
@WonderWartHog99 That's a first
Because we have better things to do than run around "mocking" anything, (except maybe drump)....but childish "mocking"? WTH!?
I thought I had heard this before
Any self respecting non believer doesn't "mock" anybody, we go about our business trying to live our very short existence to the fullest and trying to do good in general. Anybody that wants to proselytize will be strongly rebuked, it so happens that in America most people are christian. In the countries where islam is majority, it is completely rare to be a non believer which in many cases gets you killed and in most cases gets you only animosity. I know the original bangladeshi poster said this jokingly posting memes that prove the contrary. Yet the opening line is insulting to all nonbelievers.
I have no time for any religion. If any Muslim wants to take me on as an atheist I would make the same arguments as would to a Christian or any other religion. No lack of guts here. This criticism is usually made against the so called regressive left -- failure to criticize Islam. From my experience atheist rejection and criticism of religion is usually comprehensive.
I've spent many hours debating and mocking muslims. I even got removed from a mosque. But thats just me being stupidly brave. In any case debating a muslim is just as futile as debating anyone in any other religion. Even in the face of a logical melt down they still hang on to it.
I donβt need to mock Islam because itβs nothing more than the kids who felt left out creating their own club or better yet daddy Abraham didnβt love me so Iβll show him!
Seriously though I believe that the post was meant to satirical but itβs simply sad
Yup, ol' father Abraham banished our ancestor, Ishmael and his mother, Hagar, when his first and favorite wife, Sarah, gave birth to Isaac--so we'll show him, indeed! And so the descendants of half-brothers (the Arabs and Jews) have been at odds with one another ever since, as the story goes.
