Oh I understand too don't get me wrong, but arguing over it isn't the proper way, we can discuss without denouncing. There were other factors aside from this that factored in. 

 

You banned him?

My comment was obviously directed at the majority of people responding to him in this thread who are not from the Middle East, not the minority who are.

The only people who really engaged with him beyond one post were the people living in Muslim majority countries but okay

@ARTPOPwhore I hope I didn't come off cruel and uncompassionate in my disagreement with you, I'm sorry if I did, that was not my intension at all.

I'm really really sorry for what you have to go through and if you ever want to talk about anything, feel free to share.

Right about now would be a great time, @Madonna.

i go through that DAILY, i go to school daily and i have NO FRIENDS and my religion is insulted, my passion for art is not appreciated here, i can't express myself NOR my sexuality and most of the time i use the web and listening to Gaga/music to escape this horrible reality i live daily... and what i get on gagadaily now is hate and warning point and being called attention seeker for the feelings and truth i've been experiencing for YEARS now... im 16 and done nothing interesting because of the place i live in... thankyou for listening.... i edited to add that now im being completely BLOCKED off gagadaily til april for expressing my feelings? how is this fair? now rejected IRL and on GGD. wow

Your personal failures in life do not mean you should put all the blame on one specific group of people.

If you are not doing anything with your life it is your fault. (to an extent of course). 

I do understand that the middle east is not the best place to live in right now but even then you cannot group an entire religion of 1.2 Billion people like that and think that you can escape criticism or being called out for it. You are spewing hatred and poison due to your bad experiences in life. Which is a flawed logic. It's like when my friend got mugged by a group of young Chinese men when she went to China...did she blame all 1 billion+ of Chinese people? No! She simply said those specific individuals were bad/evil. Not all Chinese people.

All in all you sound to me like someone who is frustrated with the current state of their life / trajectory of their life and wants to pour all the blame on one group of people. This is also what is being done by racist white men in the US who put all the blame for their failures on women and black men "stealing their jobs" or like the Nazis who blamed the financial crisis on the Jewish people for having successful stores and not allowing "pure" germans to have successful stores (which was one of the main reasons the Holocaust apparently happened). 

You need to check yourself real quick.

Also..no sympathy for your ban. You deserved it.

That is a falsehood, or if you prefer, an alternative fact. You are the only user in this thread who said they were living in a country where Islam is the major religion.

True, but that came out later.  He came in to this thread swinging.  And before that was trashing people's art in the media section for no reason, so, basically painted the picture of himself as a troll by then.

There is something ironic about a group of Westerners lecturing a gay kid who lives in a predominantly Muslim country about intolerance.

@ARTPOPwhoreI don't agree with the things you said in this thread, but I understand why you said them. If you ever need someone to talk to you can PM me.

You do realize several members on here are muslim and answered him right? Cherry picking is not right.

His hateful "point of view" is wrong and his poisonous words are inexcusable. How are you not bothered by him saying 97% of muslims are bad and that there was nothing good to say about the 1.2 billion muslims around the world?

A friend of mine who is an artist has been living in NY for 9 years. she was born in Iran. 

she had an exhibition in Berlin, she went there last week. 

Now she can't go back to newyork anymore. It s her home. And she can't come back. 

What the f is happenning to America ? ... It is discussing, shamefull and dangerous... Americans should keep fighting those injustices.

It's probably his emotions talking in this thread and real life experiences afflicted to him talking in the art section but I wouldn't know obviously.

My apologies, I skimmed some of the posts and read many of their experiences as being "currently living in a Muslim Majority country". That still doesn't validate his feelings about an entire group of people because he's an angry young teen (not saying that you are but I happen to know there are some members on here who do share a similar sentiment).

I do know that there are Muslims on this site, that wasn't what my comment was addressing. Feel free to re-read it. I have nothing but love and respect for the Muslim users on this site.

I explicitly said that I did not agree with ARTPOPwhore's statements.

I do have tremendous sympathy for him, and can understand where his vitriol stems from. You and ARTPOPwhore could both stand to be a little more empathetic.

No problem.
