hmm 979 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Of course discrimination is wrong. But it's still worth to mention how Westerners (including Jews and liberal Muslims) would be treated in Muslim countries ​Why? Luc summises why it's not relevant to the discussion, the point still remains that it comes across that you're trying to excuse this type of behaviour (it's the "we're not as bad as them, so we're ok" logic), which at a first level is wrong, before even accounting for you previously posting a similar video on how Jewish people are treated. It would be akin to any of us saying "it's worth mentioning how Palestinians and muslims would be treated in parts of what Israel claims as its territory" - that doesn't make it any better whatsoever.

hmm 979 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 ​So? ​Your post implies (regardless of whether you're admitting to it, it comes across that way) that you show no sympathy to the discrimination and generalising of the video, yet you wanted that exact sympathy when the same thing was presented to a Jewish person.

Gov Hooka 8,008 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 ​Probably asking the wrong person, I never mentioned about that. I said no one should be allowed to dress up religiously. ​but not only is that attire religious, it's cultural as well. so many things wrong with this post...

uo111 5,282 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 If someone was carrying around a Quran and prayer beads and loitering in a public square I would leave. Who does that? That's weird.Do Muslims do that normally? I feel like they don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lego 44,165 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 If someone was carrying around a Quran and prayer beads and loitering in a public square I would leave. Who does that? That's weird.Do Muslims do that normally? I feel like they don't. Yeah there are many who do actually. Many like to read Qur'an whenever possible or practise memorization. Tbh if some would want to do harm they'd try their best to blend in, not stand out like this. This garment is both cultural and religious, as it "covers modesty" , it's a ready for prayer thobe. He just looks like he's going to mosque or other praying place. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just looks like he's going to mosque or other praying place.He is dressed for that.But that's not what it looks like he is doing. Most of the clips he is aimlessly wandering and/or loitering. Not too many people I know do that by themselves. It's creepy. Not that I would say mean things to him like these people did. But loitering people make me warry of my surroundings at the least. Carrying around holy books (because who uses backpacks or bags) doesn't make me think about how nice they must be either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
