It goes the other way around too. While you should not be an Islamophobic freak it’s ok to admit and accept that Islamic terrorists carried out 9/11

Yes. this whole “Muslims suffered the most” is egregiously offensive and anyone who says America deserved it deserves it to happen to them

I don’t care about his religion or ethnicity I care about the fact Mamdani spreads anti west propaganda and defends terror groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah

As bad as it was back then, it’s worse now.

They got called names or at worst punched, the people in the tower didn’t get to live.

Bc unlike the current bum, Bush at least made an effort to bring the country together and explicitly messaged strongly against this kind of behavior

Do you think there weren’t any Muslims killed that day or afterwards due to 9/11 related illnesses?

Islamophobia has always been bad but I’d say it was a lot worse back then

Agreed. That is a much more valid reason to dislike him.

If a Muslim died on 9/11, they died because an Islamic terrorist drove a big plane into a tower not because of islamaphobia what are you on about?

Bro a Sikh dude got shot a few days after as revenge for 9/11 bc the perp thought he was Muslim, they did not “at worst get punched”

Yes because one guy getting shot is just as bad as 2,900 ish people dying. Silly me

I never said they’re just as bad, I’m directly countering your point of “at the worst got punched”. 9/11 was a tragedy and nobody in the towers deserved what happened to them, but it can also be a true statement that Islamophobia was and still is a really big problem in the US

I’m sorry the ignorant racism following the attack is just not as bad as a mass killing terrorist attack. Both are bad, one killed a whole lot more

Not denying there’s real ignorance about Islam, and there needs to be a distinction between salafists and extremists and normal Muslims. That being said, this whole “islamaphobia is just as bad as terrorism” thing is just a really bad idea - and it’s playing out in the UK and Europe right now with the far right surging because of stuff like this.

Islamophobia is NOT as bad as terrorism lmao once again I was directly countering your point about them only getting name called or punched, and was stating that it is a genuine problem in this country specifically. There are terrorist acts carried out against Muslims in this country but not to the scale of 9/11 (they’ll be called hate crimes or mental illness but what else do you can going and shooting up a mosque) but to equate “normal” Islamophobia to terrorism was not my point

Yes, I think we largely agree. all I object to is people’s insistence that 9/11 must be mentioned in the same breath of how bad islamaphobia is or others who straight up will say that Muslims suffered more than those who died. What it does is it makes discussion of real things, like the rape gangs in Britain, conflated with islamaphobia - so that you cannot discuss a very real crime without sounding islamaphobic.
