Hold my beer.
Wow. Incredible. How can one person fuck up so badly in seven sentences? If there was a gold medal in bullshit “logic,” our money would be on you to win it.
You get things off to a merry start by equating the 1.8 billion Muslims in the world with the maybe 32,000 fascist shitstains that are in Daesh (aka ISIS, aka ISIL). You’re taking the behaviour of .0017% of Muslims and claiming that all Muslims are like that. It would be literally more accurate to claim that all Americans are in or sympathize with the KKK, since KKK members account for about .0025% of the U.S. population. Not only do the overwhelming majority of Muslims reject Daesh’s ideology as being distinctly unIslamic, Muslims are overwhemingly the victims of Daesh’s fascist terror campaign.
You also fucked up with the sharia law dogwhistle, didn’t you? Yeah, we know what sharia law is, but it’s obvious that you don’t and you’re the one that should do some learning. We think you should start with this or ask the imam at your nearest mosque to school you.
Don’t you think it’s weird that in places like Dearborn, Michigan (Muslim population 30%) or Birmingham, UK (Muslim population 22%) “sharia law” (or whatever the fuck your misinformed ass thinks it is) isn’t being “forced on other people?” Because when we go to those places we see Muslims going about their lives and minding their own business and not trying to implement sharia law or forcibly convert people.
Isn’t it strange how countries with significant or majority Muslim populations like Azerbaijan, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Niger, Northern Cyprus, Sierra Leone, Tajikistan, Togo, Tunisia, Turkey, and Uzbekistan haven’t adopted sharia law? So maybe you shouldn’t sweat it too much, partner.
Was there a horrific increase in violent hate crime in areas controlled by Daesh? Of course there was; Daesh is a fascist organization and wherever you find fascists, you find discrimination and violence (more on that in a second!). That’s why anti-fascists from all over the world have travelled to the area to fight Daesh and defend the Rojava revolution.

You do know about Rojava, right? The revolution which is replacing fascist rule with an egalitarian, explicitly feminist form of anarchism called democratic confederalism? That’s being built and defended by people who are mostly Muslims? And it’s working? Here, find a grownup to read this to you.
BTW, special mention to you for using the murders of LGBTQ+ people by Daesh as a screen to hide your Islamophobia. That’s real fucking classy. We would bet a million Euros you have sweet FA to say about Russia’s anti-gay law or the murders of LGBTQ+ people throughout Europe when it’s non-Muslims that are the perpetrators. Fuck. Right. Off.
But before you do, let’s delve into the increase in religious discrimination in Europe that you’re so worried about, because we are too:
- a recent survey of Muslims in Europe found that 40% have experienced discrimination over the last year, with 30% being insulted because of their faith and 2% being physically assaulted because of it;
- There was a 200% increase in attacks on European mosques between 2009 and 2015;
- UK Muslims are the most-discriminated against in the job market;
- Job applicants with a Muslim-sounding name are three times less likely to be called for an interview;
- Hijab-wearing Muslim women in Germany are four times less likely to be invited to a job interview.
Seems like the most-discriminated religious group in Europe are Muslims, javdux; so maybe your perpetuation of racist, Islamophobic bullshite isn’t helping any.
But it’s really terrorism you’re worried about? So are antifa. That’s why we’re fighting against the people that are 5x more likely to kill Europeans in terror attacks - those people being neo-nazis.
It’s funny that you single out Sweden as a place that is under seige from a discriminatory horde of violent Muslim terrorists. Sweden has taken in a higher number of refugees per-capita than any other European country - 163,000 in 2015 alone. And it did experience three terrorist attacks this year. One was by a Muslim asylum seeker that had been rejected by Sweden and was to be deported but no motive has been established. But the two before that were by neo-nazis in the “Nordic Resistance Movement” who bombed a two refugee shelters.
There’s been zero correlation between sexual assault numbers and refugee intake numbers in Sweden or in Germany - the country with the largest number of refugees overall. Refugees are correlated with a drop in crime rates in the UK and in the US.
Do you know what else happened in Sweden after it took in so many refugees? It experienced its largest economic boom in five years, thanks to the newcomers.
So basically, javdux, you’re correct that Daesh = fascists but you’re dead wrong that Muslims = fascists (at least any more than any other religion). You have no idea what sharia law is. Your concern about discriminatory violence in Daesh-controlled areas is contradicted by your lack of support for the antifascist volunteers who are fighting Daesh in the YPG,YPJ, IFB, Tabûra Enteransyonal, and other antifa units. And your alleged concerns about rapes, crime, terrorism, and religious discrimination are either terribly ill-informed or pointed in the exact opposite direction of where they should be.
You really need to get your shit together in short fucking order of STFU.
