You never see edgelord atheists burning Bibles to trigger Christians - and the reason they don't is because they know they won't get away with it. But since Muslims have been designated as an "acceptable" target in the west, this shit is allowed - and the right-wingers know they can push people into accepting their agenda like this.
Rather because we know we get away with it. Because most Christians don't feel so entitled to expect others to live by their rules, and threaten them with death when they don't.
These provocations make sense as long as the other side takes offense for so little, in such a violent way. It's this encroaching and inacceptable attitude which makes resistance a necessity.
The article sheds no light on what the actual motives of these particular protesters are.
Ok come on, my friend. I know a bible burning won't get you the death penalty, but many many many people have been killed and imprisoned for not living to Christian values, especially in the United States. It's "just a few crazies" or whatever, but it really isn't since these actions happen in an environment of indirect public support.
As an outsider, I may not be aware of what you mean.
If you're hinting at colonization: Yes, definitely. But that is no longer practiced, or is it?
If you had recent or current events in mind: I'm not aware of those, please explain.
I see, I'm gonna make a low-ish effort post, but I'm happy to discuss further if you'd like:
I only mean to suggest that both religions have a bit of bloodthirst in them, which doesn't apply to everyone, but is certainly comparable. We can go deeper into the details, I just felt like you were giving Christians a bit of a pass that they don't deserve.
