All Abrahamic religions are very conservative. Hardcore Muslims share more values with hardcore Christians than with progressive liberals.
Problem is the xenophobia.
That's another value they share.
Not true.
In the US, Jews and Muslims vote Democrat. Over 50% of American Muslims believe LGBT Americans deserve equal rights as everyone else; meanwhile only 15% of Pentecostal Christians agree.
Why would you compare Muslims to Pentacostal Christians specifically?
Muslim Americans used to vote Republican and Bush won them in the 2000 presidential elections.
Until 9/11 happened of course.
But it's interesting what you say about 50% of Muslim Americans supporting lgbt. My guess is that those who went to America are vetted, more educated and therefore more open-minded, unlike in Europe which received massive influx of Muslim refugees of all backgrounds.
I don't mean to sound classist and elitist but educated immigrants are just more likely to adapt and integrate. This is not very different to how the Italians and Irish in America were perceived in the past due to their massive immigration population.
Hardcore meaning fundamentalist types. Not sane people.
I don't think the current shitstorm has anything to do with hardcoreness.
Is that a joke?
WHAT THE FUCK IS UP, DENNY's?!?
Sure, but most Muslims in America are not hardcore. The average Muslim American is significantly more liberal than the average white person.
Idk about that one champ
Thats so hyperbolic it would be funny if I didn't think you were serious
