    I wonder how much of that subreddit are just white Americans cosplaying hoping to reinforce their preconceived notions about Muslims. If the r/China subreddit is anything to go by, it’s probably at least half.

    “Just because 2 people happened to be muslim, are communists and pro lgbt that doesn’t reflect us”

    Well…yeah, I don’t think anyone was making the argument that ALL muslims were lgbt socialists. Just that the overlap does exist. What a strange hill for them to make a stand on. It’s really not any different than the other abrahamic religions in that respect.

    Though entirely anecdotally, the majority of the theists I know who are socialists are Muslim.

    Marxism contradicts all religions. It is the criticism of all that exists in order to make the world better. Some forms of a religion can remain, because not all aspects of any given religion are completely antithetical to freedom.

    Of course there are far right conservative Muslims that hate communism for the progress we bring.

    Terminally online people. I have muslims friends who are gay. I have friend groups consisting of pretty strict muslim believers and gay people.

    Turns out real life is not that black and white.

    When someone asks what a loaded question is, just show them this image. Yikes.
